nRF Connect Installation on macOS (Automatic Installation)

Hi Marte,

Thanks very much, this is the result from executing env when opening Terminal from the nRF Connect SDK:

(Computer and user names anonymised for security reasons)

Is there anything that you wouldn't expect to see please?

I had problems with Kconfig previously using the zsh shell, so I don't think this is related to which terminal shell I'm using.Please see existing open ticket:

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/85101/implementing-developing-bluetooth-low-energy-products-using-nrf-connect-video-on-nrf5340-dk

My current project is the LE Audio demo on the nRF5340 Audio DK board, which I'm executing from Windows Command Prompt/Bash using the supplied Python script. I am focussed on getting this demo up and running (so far only achieved on Windows 11, but with glitching audio transmission/reception) before I go back to developing in VS Code.

Kind regards,

Al

Hi,

Are you able to build the project successfully? Because if not, that might explain the Kconfig error.

Best regard,

Marte

Hi user112952 Yes I can build and run successfully.

In fact the guiconfig/menuconfig works fine as well. I do get that issue below, which might be related.

The file definitely exists and changes to it and doing pristine build definitely take effect.

It is only KConfig itself (the Nrf provided built-in editor) not working on M1 Mac.

Hi user107977,

Can you generate support information in VS Code so I can forward that to the developers looking into this? Thank you.

Best regards,

Marte

It may be important to also let you know the NRF icon in the side bar disappeared after yesterday's update. Reverting did not restore it. The Nrf functions do show up in the debug and run icon however. See screenshot below:
