nRF Terminal extension in VS Code fails to connect in RTT mode

I installed the nRF Connect extension pack which also contains the nRF Terminal extension but I cannot make it work in VS Code

In the command pallette I select  nRF Terminal:Start Terminal, specify RTT as a connect method and hit Enter when prompted for device name, serial number and memory address.

There is a message "nRF terminal trying to connect" at the bottom of the VS Code window but it  never succeeds. I verified that the board is connected with JLink , the code is running and I can see output is printed in the JLink RTT Viewer 

Tried to send nRF:clear  but that did not help

Any ideas how to fix?

Thank you

Andy

  • exit the VSC, delete the build folder and open VSC again for that project and try so that all references to underlying command tools are done from the latest version. Also uninstall older command line tools. 
    I have tried to install older version of the command line tools but not able to reproduce that unfortunately. I am not sure what else might be different in our setups.
