Hello,
Just trying to understand all of the toolchains & SDKs involved, quite a steep learning curve so far with all the build tools, newbie question!
My understanding is that when using the CircuitDojo VSCode extension, doing Zephyr: setup & init repo
, this not only creates a directory with the feather samples, but also installs the nRF SDK (inside the nrf
directory), Zephyr tools, west, etc, and some other utilities…?
After this is done, or prior to this setup, must the user also manually setup the nRF toolchain + SDK via the Connect desktop app/official nRF Connect VSCode extension (afaik this is now Nordics recommended method of installing toolchains & SDK).
The docs here https://docs.circuitdojo.com/nrf9160-sdk-setup-linux.html and https://docs.circuitdojo.com/nrf9160-nrf-connect-desktop.html don’t specifically talk about manual installs/setups of these 2 hence the curiosity. I guess my question is more around how all these things are interacting with one another so that I can try and debug things with a better understanding.
