NordicPlayground nrf-docker instructions/code fail to build image on Apple Silicon

jesmeister

System Info:
Hardware: M3 Max
OS:  Sequoia 15.3

Following the instructions outlined in the readme of: github.com/.../nrf-docker Docker fails to build an image on Apple Silicon.

Build command: 

docker build -t nrfconnect-sdk --build-arg sdk_nrf_version=v2.9-branch --build-arg arch=arm64 .

Docker error log shows: 

+ wget -q https://developer.nordicsemi.com/.pc-tools/nrfutil/x64-linux/nrfutil
+ mv nrfutil /usr/local/bin
+ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/nrfutil
+ nrfutil install toolchain-manager
rosetta error: failed to open elf at /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2/bin/bash: line 4:    10 Trace/breakpoint trap   nrfutil install toolchain-manager


I modified the Dockerfile to install the universal MacOs version of nrfutil by replacing line 30 of the Dockerfile with: 
wget -q https://developer.nordicsemi.com/.pc-tools/nrfutil/universal-osx/nrfutil


which then produces the following error: 
+ wget -q https://developer.nordicsemi.com/.pc-tools/nrfutil/universal-osx/nrfutil
+ mv nrfutil /usr/local/bin
+ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/nrfutil
+ nrfutil install toolchain-manager
/bin/bash: line 4: /usr/local/bin/nrfutil: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error


Ensured rosetta was installed via the command line: softwareupdate --install-rosetta

    Hello jesmeister,

    My apology once again. I just found that the Linux Aarch64 nrfutil doesn't support the toolchain-manager command that you need. Therefore, if you want to use Docker, you will need to run it in x86-64 mode, and use this instead:

    curl https://files.nordicsemi.com/artifactory/swtools/external/nrfutil/executables/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/nrfutil -o nrfutil
chmod +x nrfutil

    My colleague also noted that using Docker on MacOS can get complicated, and using a regular VM might be easier. Is there any particular reason you want to use Docker?

    Thank you Hieu, I will see if I can get this up and going. We are using docker in an attempt to setup CI/CD using bitbucket pipelines. If there is an easier or cleaner way to do it, I'm open to suggestions!
