ncs dekstop v2.3.0 doesn't install full sdk toolchain (no x86_64-zephyr-elf for qemu for example)

[douglas.malnati]

Windows 11, VSCode, NCS v2.3.0

I use the nRF Connect for desktop, and installed the latest NCS SDK.

However, comparing the install of that, to the install of a manually setup sdk, the desktop version is almost completely empty of toolchains aside from the arm-zephyr-eabi.  I manually copied the x86_64-zephyr-elf from the manually-installed to the desktop-installed folder.

What's the right way to use the desktop installer to get all the toolchains installed?  I don't see any options to do that, or even any indication that anything is missing.

Even the file named "sdk_toolchains" lists out a bunch of toolchains that aren't present.

Thanks.

Hi Douglas,

Do you have the nRF Command Line Tools installed? Which version?

Best Retgards,

Hi, I do - I'm on the latest at 10.19.0.

Is that related?  I'm talking about the SDK.

Thanks.

Hi Douglas,

I have inquired internally with the develops, but please expect a slight delay as we area bit understaffed owing to the vacation season.

Best Regards,

Hi Douglas,

I have hear back from the developers. Only chosen compilers are included in the toolchain bundle, and the QEMU version is not there. But it all works as expected, so it should not be a problem.

Ok, so manual install is the only way to get those tools installed, I understand.  Thanks.
