No device with extension nRF Connect VS Code (Windows)

[Lukas Mertens]

Hi,

I have some issues trying to upload a hello_world which i have found in the extention "nRF connect" for VSCode as a sample. The build everything is fine but when i'm trying to flash there is no device i can select to flash to. Also when i refresh nothing pops up.

I'm using a Icarus IoT board from actinius. I'm connected with a micro usb cable to the Iot board. Operating system windows

Hi,

 

When I’m opening my mqtt-simple sample I get some error’s that they don’t find any file.

I installed the nRF connect sdk using the toolchain manager (2.2.0).

How can i fix this?

Hi, 

If you ctrl+click on the squiggly lines, will it jump to the correct file? If not you need to add the path for the ncs 2.2.0 folder for intellisense 

Sometimes it's just intellisense that is reporting false errors.

Oke that is true, the files definitly are there. But now my next problem

When i'm trying to build my mqtt-simple program, there is no "actinius_icarus_ns" board anymore like in the hello_world sample. I can select the icarus board when i push on Nodic board but then got an error:

When i try to build with the only compatible board i don't get the "app_signed.hex" file in the zephyr folder.

Hi, I need to look into the first problem to try to recreate it. However I would recommend doing a pristine build if you change board

In order to create the app_signed.hex you need to add support for MCUboot in your project as it not by default in this example 

in order to do it, add CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y in your prj.conf

Thanks, that worked!

Is there any example using x509 certificate to a mqtt broker? can't find one.

[runsiv]

I think this case might be helpful for you

 nRF9160 with Microsoft Azure, x509 certificates and provisioning methods, TLS store write wear 

If you have more questions about mqtt and x509 please open a new ticket so that the correct person will be assigned to the case. 

Cheers
