Hi user3349,

thanks for the reply.

YES, that must be the reason!

I really hope you're releasing a hotfix for this, right?

Anyway, your workaround is working 👌

Best,

Hi davage,

It seems that the minimum toolchain version specified in NCS v2.0.0 here is wrong:
https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/blob/880c82dba48655ee3a75edaefa0208782967ff17/scripts/ncs-toolchain-version-minimum.txt#L3

it seems to not have been updated correctly to 2.0.0 for the latest release.

This means that if both NCS v1.9.0 and v2.0.0 are installed, then the system might pick up toolchain 1.9.0.
One way to enforce the use of NCS Toolchain v2.0.0 is to use the CMake setting NCS_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION, as:

$ west build -b nrf52840dk_nrf52840 --pristine -- -DNCS_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION=2.0.0

To avoid typing this for each build in this workspace, you can set this permanently for the workspace using `west config` like this:

west config --local build.cmake-args -- -DNCS_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION=2.0.0

Best regards

Torsten
