VS Code Extension Setup Command Failing

theIntuitionist

I just plugged my new nrf9160 feather in, installed the extension to vs code, and ran Zephyr Tools: Setup. It managed to download and install a couple things then hung on installing cmake.

[SETUP] downloading https://github.com/circuitdojo/zephyr-tools-cli/releases/download/0.1.7/zephyr-tools-0.1.7-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
tar -xvf “/Users/oh/.zephyrtools/downloads/zephyr-tools-0.1.7-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz” -C “/Users/oh/.zephyrtools/zephyr-tools”
[SETUP] downloading https://docs.jaredwolff.com/files/newtmgr/darwin/newtmgr.zip
[SETUP] unzip /Users/oh/.zephyrtools/downloads/newtmgr.zip to /Users/oh/.zephyrtools/newtmgr
[SETUP] downloading https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v3.22.0/cmake-3.22.0-macos-universal.tar.gz

I tried restarting and trying again. I also tried shutting down vs code, removing ~/.zephrytools starting vs code and trying again. It repeatably hangs, unfortunately.

I had been working on a nrf9160-dk from nordic. Could it be that existing setup is causing a conflict of some sort?

How do I get things going?

Thank you,
Jason

Hi @theIntuitionist

Your intuition is correct. The two do not play nice together.

You can use Nordic tools but you will need to use the loader manually.

Otherwise I would disable Nordics tools to get started.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I disabled all the nrf* extensions in vs code, but still no luck. What else do I need to do to disable the nordic tools?

Hmm the issue is interesting. Is it possible you have a firewall that is blocking the download?

I just found the downloads dir in the .zephyrtools directory and it looks like it’s downloading fine after all, just very slowly. Seems to be a connection issue on my side. apologies!
