just wanted to see what can be 'More' options to answer and occasionally my mouse stepped into something like report abuse or so... after that i was not able to neither confirm nor change this my click. so please ignore that! everything is allright. maybe would be wise to add an option to either confirm such a report or add some extra info so that it would not be sent occasionally lilke it just happened to me.

From what I could tell this was a customer as we have not seen it on the devices to Nordic employees. I would presume that might be to limited number of employees using OSX.

I have forwarded the output to the developers and awaiting feedback from them

thanks very much for your answer. did you try it with VSC 1.87 and mac book with M2 cpu? In general, the option of rosetta is helping, but if you'd find a native way to run gdb I'd very interested to be aware :)

You should be able to use the arm toolchain but for some reason it seems like your install uses intel execution chain. I have seen something similar before regarding the toolchain and we know it was working before VScode 1.87 so something happened after that created some issues with Apple Silicon, but we don't know what the issue is. We have tried to replicate it on our end to no luck

Hi Runar,

Yes, rosetta imidiately makes it running!

But it is still interesting what goes wrong with native (not intel) CPU? I tried to run the installed gdb and perfectly get this:

---------

GNU gdb (Zephyr SDK 0.16.5) 12.1

License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later <gnu.org/.../gpl.html>

This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it.

There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.

------------

And the fact that VSCode does not print me anything makes me thinking that there is something with NRF Connect for VS configuration that it simply can not find gdb at my M2 mac or so? Again, gdb starts OK manually but could not be startted from the IDE. Also, what I see is that at IDE the gdb _server_ is starting (with rosetta) but not only gdb, maybe I have to configure a server somehow?

Sure, it is also possible to run it in intel emulation environment (Rosetta) but would also be great to have it running natively as this seems to be also possible in general! 🙂

Thanks for your help!

Hi, could you install Rosetta?

I have asked internally if they have any idea. But just to make sure some other things are in order. Have you downloaded the newest command line tool?
