Installation

Requirements

nRF5 SDK

Since you've come across this extension, I guess you'll have this SDK installed already. Still, here is how I develop with it:

1. Go to the download page of the nRF5 SDK
2. Download the latest version (17.1.0)
3. Unzip the downloaded archive to a place of your liking

Warning

On Windows, you might run into problems with your path length. I suggest you keep the path of your unzipped SDK as short as possible. The location of my SDK is C:/nrf

Segger Embedded Studio

This extension is able to work with the Segger ARM toolchain, which is provided with Segger Embedded Studio and present in all nRF5-SDK examples. The installation is straight forward:

1. Go to the download page of Segger Embedded Studio
2. Pick a version compatible with the nRF5-SDK, v5.62 for ARM (legacy) works for me
3. Download and execute the installer

Tip

If you want the automatic path detection of this extension to work, keep the default installation path
