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.

Hi Hardy,
nrfutil 7.7.1 is the latest version available also for Linux. You can update to it using "nrfutil self-upgrade
".
Hello Einar,
if self-upgrade would work, I would not have asked ;-) Unfortunately it doesn't because I'm behind a proxy. BUT: download via browser works (from the page above shown). And this download is still at 7.7.0 for Linux.
Please upgrade there as well.
Hi Hardy,
Aha, I see. The nrfutil binary for Linux you can download from here is also version 7.7.1 now.
Hello Einar
Unfortunately I cannot confirm this :-/
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":

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:
git clone github.com/.../nrfutil-package-index
"?NRFUTIL_NET_GIT_FETCH_WITH_CLI=true
" and see if that helps with nrfutil?Hello Einar
Now I can do "NRFUTIL_NET_GIT_FETCH_WITH_CLI=true nrfutil search", upgrade works also. Installing a toolchain via "NRFUTIL_NET_GIT_FETCH_WITH_CLI=true nrfutil toolchain-manager install --ncs-version v2.6.0" works (not sure if the env variable is needed)
In vscode "Manage toolchains/Install" does not work (perhaps more or less same cause), but SDK installation works fine.
Hi,
Thank you for checking and getting back to me. It is good we have a workaround that you can use for now, and that is also usefull information to our team working on nrfutil.
