Error in VS connecting to nRF52 DK

[Bret Foreman]

I just upacked my new nRF52 DK and installed what I think are all the goodies to do development (on my Windows 11 laptop). I can see the board with the Programmer and I loaded on the S112 soft device without any trouble. My next step was to get the blinky app to compile, download, and run. 

But when I start up Visual Studio, I get the attached error when trying to connect to the board. Can you tell me what might be wrong?

Thanks,

Bret

Hi Bret,

Can you try to reload the window and see if the error still occurs? Open command palette (ctrl+shift+p) and write reload, then select Developer: Reload Window.

If this does not work, please generate support information from VS Code by opening command palette and write nRF Connect: Generate support information.

Please note that the nRF Connect for VS Code extension is not compatible with nRF5 SDK, only with nRF Connect SDK.

Best regards,

Marte

1. I can't figure out how to use the reply function in this forum to attach files. Where is the little paper-clip icon so I can attach screen shots and debug logs?
2. I don't understand your note about compatibility. I want to build blinky and download it onto my PCA10040 dev board. Which tool do I use for that?
3. The README file in the blinky example doesn't refer to the VS Code dev tools at all. Is there a new version of blinky somewhere?
