nRF Connect for VS Code

The build-specific actions are available only to the given build configuration folder within the application. Some of these actions are located in the More actions... drop-down menu.

Build-specific icons

Within each application, you can use the following actions that are specific to a single build directory:

Action Description
Link Build Configuration And Device Lets you link a build configuration to a specific device. If you use sysbuild, the link you set for the top build configuration is used for all images or domains.
Edit Build Configuration Lets you edit an existing build configuration for the selected application.
Edit Sysbuild Domains When using sysbuild, lets you edit the available sysbuild domains for the selected sysbuild configuration. Clicking the button opens the Sysbuild domain settings page, with the domain for the active context expanded.
Save Configuration as Preset Saves the current build configuration as a preset. This is a shortcut to nRF Connect: Save Configuration as Preset in the Command Palette. This saves the current build configuration to the CMakePresets.json file.
Copy Build Command Saves a copy of the build command for the selected build into your device's clipboard.
Show in Explorer Opens the Visual Studio Code's Explorer View and highlights the source files for the application.
Start New Terminal Opens a new nRF Connect terminal profile for the active context. See How to use nRF Connect terminal profile for more information.
Clean Build Configuration Removes most files generated during the building process, but keeps the configuration and backup files.
Remove Build Configuration Permanently removes the build configuration from the Applications View, including all build configuration files. This option is available from the drop-down menu.
