Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF Connect for VS Code is a set of extensions that turns Visual Studio Code into a complete IDE for developing applications compatible with the nRF Connect SDK. When you install nRF Connect for VS Code, you install the following extensions:
- nRF Connect for VS Code
- nRF DeviceTree
- nRF Kconfig
- nRF Terminal
All these extensions must be installed and used together for nRF Connect for VS Code to work correctly with the supported SDKs. While you can install only some of them, many of their features are interrelated. For this reason, when this documentation uses the term the extension, it refers to the whole set and assumes you have installed all four extensions.
