Current Behavior

Example Blinky project that compiles in keil uvision using 6.16.2 (Fusa) does not compile in VS code.

Some warnings show, and compiler mismatch in config.

cbuild c:\Users\XXXXX\Documents\Blinky\Blinky.csolution.yml --update-rte --packs --context Blinky+STM32L476_Flash
spawn cbuild ENOENT

Warnings:
Fix compiler version (6.16.2, 6.16.2) is configured in the uVision project.
However 6.19.0, the earliest version available through vcpkg,
is specified in the generated vcpkg-configuration.json and csolution file.

	"arm:compilers/arm/armclang": "6.19.0",		
	"arm:tools/open-cmsis-pack/cmsis-toolbox": "^2.3.0"
}

}

Expected Behavior

documents says should work:

Arm Compiler for Embedded version 6.18.0 or higher

Arm FuSa Compiler for Embedded version 6.16.2 or higher is also supported

Steps To Reproduce

1. Download 'Blinky' project to one of STM NUCLEO devices.
2. In Keil uvision, set compiler to 6.16.2 Fusa, and compile to update the uvproj file.
3. Go to VS code arm plugin , and try to convert in CMSIS screen the uvrpoj file.
4. Get bunch of errors.

While Arm Compiler for Embedded 6.16.2 is supported by CMSIS-Toolbox this compiler version can not be downloaded and registered using the VSCode Arm Environment Manager.
Assuming you have installed version 6.16.2 in your Keil Installation already:
e.g. c:\Keil_v5\ARM\ARMClang_6_16_2...
you need to set the TOOLCHAIN environment variable following instructions from here: https://github.com/Open-CMSIS-Pack/cmsis-toolbox/blob/main/docs/installation.md#compiler-toolchains

set AC6_TOOLCHAIN_6_16_2=c:\Keil_v5\ARM\ARMClang_6_16_2\bin

I suggest not to update the compiler version prior to running uv2csolution, but rather modify the compiler: node after the conversion setting the version to compiler: [email protected].
