Failed to clone NRFConnect SDK

[SdB]

Moin,

I tried to create a project using the new NRFConnectSDK support with VisualGDB 5.5  Preview 7, build 3666. Unfortunately the creation failed during cloning of the NRFConnectSDK (see log file content below).

Does the SDK support require a certain version of Python to be installed? Could you please give me a hint about the possible root cause of the error?

Best regards,

Stefan

Nevermind, I was not aware that VisualGDB uses its own python environment. I found the old python package 2.7 in the package manager, removed it and installed python 3.7. Now I’m able to create a NRFConnectSDK based project.

Hi,

Good to know it works. VisualGDB can indeed install a Python environment that was tested on our side with the nRFConnect SDK and should work out-of-the-box (see step #7 of our NRFConnect tutorial). In case of any Python-related problems, we suggest resetting the environment as shown on this page.
