The only tool we provide for this is nrfutil, but that depends on pc-ble-driver of which there are no releases for arm (M1). The guild in the previous post describes how to build that, though. An alternative could be to use the Intel version of Python via rosetta. This is explained for instance here.

There is ongoing work to replace nrfutil with a more modern tool that will work well also on M1 Macs but it is not yet available.

This do not fork for me I cannot compile file using Ninja. Is there another way of even another program to create DFU packages to update my device via ble?

Hi,

Python on Mac can be a bit problematic, and the nRF tools have limited support for M1 at the moment. I do not know which exact issues you are seeing, but this thread describes an issue and links to another describing how to solve it.
