Update of nrfutil for Linux!? (to 7.7.1)

rgrr2

Hello Nordics

any chance to get nrfutil updated to 7.7.1 like the Windows version?  This new version solves some problems concerning proxy/certificate handling an I need this for the Linux installation.

Regards

Hardy

    That is odd. Could it have been cached somewhere on your computer or network, so that yout got the old file that way? I have attached the latest to this case as well here: nrfutil_linux_x64_7.7.1.zip.

    No caching proxy, nothing...

    Even your zip file show the following "behavior":

    ardy@debian-hardy:~/Downloads$ unzip -v nrfutil_linux_x64_7.7.1.zip

    So even in your zip file is version 7.7.0.

    I'm a little bit clueless here.

    Hi,

    It turns out that this is a bit more complicated. The nrfutil executable on the download page is a thin launcher that runs the nrfutil-core installed to ~/.nrfutil/bin/nrfutil. If ~/.nrfutil/bin/nrfutil is present, it runs ~/.nrfutil/bin/nrfutil. If it's not present, it bootstraps the latest version of nrfutil using https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/nrfutil-package-index/blob/master/bootstrap.json. This was updated Wednesday last week.

    If you still have problems, an option can be to download developer.nordicsemi.com/.../nrfutil-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-7.7.1.tar.gz and do:

    nrfutil self-upgrade --from-tarball <path-to-tarball>

    The developers noted that ther has not been any chance in nrfutil with respect to prody recently thouh, but there has been changes in how proxies are handled in nrfutil-toolchain-manager. Is that the "command" you are looking for? If so, and ist till doesn't work, it would be interesting to know more about the proxy isuses and configuration to understand if ther is anythign we can do on our end to improve things (nrfutil is supposed to respect setting the HTTP_PROXY environment).

    Hello Einar

    ok...  I must say, the mechanism with the install "stub" (14MB) and the actual executable (21MB) at ~/.nrfutil/bin is a little bit intransparent.

    Nevertheless I'm now at 7.7.1

    Unfortunately nrfutil 7.7.1 still does not seem to handle proxies correctly:

    wget can fetch the problematic URL without problems.  Any chance to get this fixed?

    Hi,

    Thanks for the information. We are looking into this, and have a couple of additional questions:

    1. Is it correct that this works fine for you on Windows?
    2. If so, is the Windows computer on the same network as the Linux computer?
    3. Can you check if using git directly works by doing "git clone github.com/.../nrfutil-package-index"?
    4. If so, can you try to set the environment variable "NRFUTIL_NET_GIT_FETCH_WITH_CLI=true" and see if that helps with nrfutil?
