Unable to fetch from nRF Connect SDK github repository

I encountered same issue with v2.9.0 on MacOSX Sequoia 15.1.1 (24B91). What fixed it was switching from Fish shell to ZSH.

(To be fair, the tooling warns Fish is not a supported Shell soooo...)

Hi,

Are you seeing this issue if you install other versions of the SDK, or only with v2.6.1?

Have you tried different networks?

Best regards,
Marte

I pasted the one-liner from the article you referenced into the nrf repository:

$ git fsck --lost-found | grep missing | awk '{print $3}' | xargs git fetch-pack https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf
Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.
Checking objects: 100% (256010/256010), done.

Though the output of west update remains the same. It would seem the problem lies in the remote end of the repository, considering the aforementioned `broken pipe`-output when attempting to install through VSCode.

You could try to follow this link https://reinaldorauch.dev.br/git-how-to-correct-missing-object-errors is has fixed similiar issues in the past according to a tip I got.

And the correct link is https://files.nordicsemi.com/ui/native/ncs-src-mirror/external/

No problems with the toolchain. I'll see if I get it working by installing manually, though it would seem the link you provided is faulty...

Through a browser

Attempting with wget

Regarding the Github issue:

Of course, it could well be related, though as per this quote from the report:

We are investigating failed connections for Git SSH. Customers may be experiencing failed SSH connections both in CI and interactively. Retrying the connection may be successful. Git HTTP connections appear to be unaffected.

It would seem the issue was strictly related to SSH, whereas my problems stem from HTTP.

Thank you for your help with this issue.

Did you manage to install the toolchain or did it also fail?

You could also try as a workaround to install the SDK manually https://files.nordicsemi.com/artifactory/ncs-src-mirror/external/v2.6.1/src.tar.gz

I saw there was some discussion internally last night regarding a smiliar issue, it looks like github had a hiccup https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/r3x7x31k7nn1

Thank you for taking the time to look into this, and getting back to me. I attempted increasing the git buffer size, however `west update`, and thus `git fetch` as well, still fails. Here's the output of the verbose `west update` command:

Hi Mats

Could you post the error log from west?

I have had a few cases in the past where OSX users had an issue with the buffer size. Could you try to increase it with the following command git config --global http.postBuffer 157286400 and try west again?

Regards
