It shows Zephyr_SDK 0.15 not found. Could you try following this guide to install and then try again to build?

Most of the time I get loading problems, I tried a few times until I no longer got loading problems.

Then I created build configuration for my Nordic DK and I got the following error message:

I also attach it as text so it's searchable:

Do I need to install the zephyr SDK manually? It's not part of the installation guide.

And when you select the v2.2.0, do you still get the loading.... problem ?

Ok, I got the first popup:

I pressed No.

Then I got the second popup with SDK version and pressed change. But I did not get welcome page, instead I get this:

RE: Getting started with vscode in Linux toolchain not found

This is getting a bit confusing to me. :) I can mention some steps:

1. Open Toolchain Manager from nRF Connect for Desktop app

2. Select the Open VS Code option against the required version.

3. This opens up VSCode. Wait for some time, and then you might get the pop up that you shared regarding changing the SDK version. So then select "Change" and this takes you to the welcome page.

4. There you can select your required toolchain and SDK version and by this time, hopefully, the "Loading" should have stopped. It happens until all pop ups have been answered usually.

I got this popup:

I pressed dismiss. Then I closed all tabs. Closed vscode. Started vscode from the toolchain manager.

Then I got a welcome tab. I closed the welcome tab, no tabs remained.

Then I selected the VS Code Extension Pack. I pressed the nRF Connect button on the left again. But got the same issue with the loading animations (see previous screenshot).

I as well as few customers previously did face this issue. This was resolved as follows:

When we closed all tabs and then again opened VSCode via Toolchain manager, pop ups occur in the bottom right corner. Once you select the appropriate options in the pop ups, the loading.... goes away.

it was not installed, I installed it.

When I select it and then press the nRF Connect button on the left, it keeps on loading (the blue line animations from left to right).

RE: Getting started with vscode in Linux toolchain not found

Priyanka — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 08:38:49 GMT

Could you share a screenshot o your screen after selecting the VSCode extension ?

Also, have you tried installing the nRF Connect for VSCode extension pack?

RE: Getting started with vscode in Linux toolchain not found

ephimee — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 08:03:15 GMT

That option is not available

It's the blinky that's shown under explorer. Could you try to right-click on it and select "Remove folder from workspace". ?

RE: Getting started with vscode in Linux toolchain not found

ephimee — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 19:58:20 GMT

I do not see a workspace.

RE: Getting started with vscode in Linux toolchain not found

Priyanka — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 14:39:12 GMT

Hi Philip,

I guess you get something like this?

Please try to go to the workspace which I have circled on top and then select "Remove folder from workspace". Once you remove all, you will get a message on the bottom right corner to change THE SDK.

ephimee — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 07:33:50 GMT

in the right bottom corner I get suggestions about plugins like CMake Tools and C/C++ Extension Pack

RE: Getting started with vscode in Linux toolchain not found

Priyanka — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 06:21:43 GMT

Hi Philip,

When you open VSCode, do you get any pop up questions?

ephimee — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 22:52:42 GMT

I assume To generate it open command palette (ctrl+shift+p) in VS Code and write nRF Connect: generate support information. ?

RE: Getting started with vscode in Linux toolchain not found

Priyanka — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 13:09:54 GMT

Hi Philip,

Could you attach the support Infirmation? It is available from the "Generate Support Information" option in VSCode.

Best Regards,

Priyanka

Thank you for the suggestion. I just tried but it did not solve the problem (problem remains the same).

You may trying launching Visual Studio Code directly instead of from the Toolchain Manager.
