Ok understood, I will get a storage upgrade for my up 4000 Intel and run both. Thanks. Will monitor Nordic for future arm64 support as more are buying into raspberry pi5 but is arm64.

No, nRF Connect for Desktop (if that is what we are talking about) is not supported on ARM64 for ubuntu. It is supported for ARM64 in some MacOS'es, but only in some older versions.

So unfortunately, it doesn't look like you will be able to run it on your Raspberry Pi.

Best regards,

Edwin do you know if there is a plan to support arm64 Ubuntu or raspberry pi5 soon or do I give up on the Nordic boards. I am out out storage on my x64 system to continue to use it for notice and want to use my new raspberry pi5. Thanks. The support list says arm64 for Linux has not supported. Thanks

I would think if I could install the arm64 toolchains I could manually install the nrf tools somehow. That is what I was looking for.

Yes but this is an intel based system x64 and still works but limited on memory. So I upgraded to a raspberry pi5 which is arm 64 and can't nrf connect. Now may have to be stuck with both systems because it looks like Ubuntu arm64 isn't supported on Nordic website. So sad. Any ideas.

I never tested this on Raspberry pi, but didn't you say that you got it running on ubuntu raspberry Pi5 initially?

I tried Ubuntu on my Raspberry Pi5 and the NrfCoonect.AppImage still wouldnt load. Think its a problem with it being an ARM processor and it still works on my Intel X64 board. Isnt there a solution by Nordic yet or do I move on with our pojects from Nordic. Right now we have 2 but cant run Ubuntu or PI. Is there no manual install for the Connect. Thanks.

ok i liked Ubuntu anyway. seems to be an OS2 issue with the appimage execution. But will try another SD card with Ubuntu. Thanks.

It should work on the Pi 5, but nRF Connect isn’t fully optimized for Raspberry Pi OS yet. Most people have better luck using Ubuntu on the Pi, since Nordic’s tools are tested there.
