Known Issues

Dev containers with WSL and Windows folders

When using dev containers in a WSL environment, ensure your workspace folder is located within the Ubuntu file system (e.g., /home/username/project) rather than in mounted Windows directories (e.g., /mnt/c/Users/...).

This is an issue inherent with the west boards command and affects workspace initialization and board detection.

Workaround

Move your project to a location within the WSL file system:

Terminal window
# Instead of /mnt/c/Users/yourname/projects
# Use /home/yourname/projects
