Matter Zap tool on Apple Silicon

[Tony]

I have a fresh install of the nRF tools for matter development.

I am running on a MacBook Pro with M1 Max chip.

I ran the script to install the zap tool.

I set up the path to point to where it was installed.

When I type zap I get the following error:

Hi,

Did you install nRF Connect SDK using Toolchain Manager? If so, please try using the terminal opened in Toolchain Manager instead of the native terminal to ensure that the correct environment is set up. This applies to both installing the ZAP tool and when using the tool.

Make sure to delete the existing ZAP tool installation before reinstalling.

Best regards,
Marte

I did as you said. I removed the folder where I had installed zap. I then used the nRFConnect toolchain manager to open a terminal window.

I then ran the get_zap.py script using the command line indicated in the instructions on the Nordic website.

In the same terminal window I tried to run zap and got the same error.

Hi,

I will report this to the development team. Which version of nRF Connect SDK are you using?

Best regards,
Marte

2.4.1

Hi,

We have release candidates for v2.5.0 out. Can you try with v2.5.0-rc2 and see if the issue persists?

Best regards,
Marte

I will give that a try, but have to mention something.

I am using VSCode and the Nordic plugin for development and not directly using the SDK.

I thought the plugin was supposed to handle these kinds of installation things.

Does using VSCode affect any of the things I should be doing here?

Same error...
