download links for latest CLI tools

[yacine]

hello,

I noticed that CLI tools download links changed after Nordic moved to the new documentation system. it used tio be possible to do:

wget -qO- https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/nordic/download_resource/51388/29/76130574/94917 | tar -C /usr/local/ -xvf

but this links do not work anymore/ Now I find only this page and cannot know the links to download the latest version of CLI tools.

I need such links to automate the build of a docker for my Continuous Integration porocess

thanks,

yacine

Hey guys,

yep Fredrik has found a smart way of doing this. That should work for everyone who needs to set up automation for the moment.
Going forward, we'll implement static links for the downloads - that can be copied and pasted without Chrome DevTools :)

Cheers,
Eivind

Hello,

With the release of nRF Command Line Tools 10.1.1, this URL has broken and I seem unable to get the new one for either version 9.8.1 or version 10.1.1. Has there been any progress in implementing static download links? I am also using nordic tools in dockerfiles and need the ability to download them from the command line.

Thanks,

Josh

Hi Fredrik,

the CLT are getting a similar actvie download link as here:
https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-Tools/Software/S112/Download#infotabs

Where e.g. the individual link for S112 that appears at the bottom of the page looks like this:
https://www.nordicsemi.com/-/media/Software-and-other-downloads/SoftDevices/S112/s112nrf52700.zip

As you can see, the link will still depend on the filename of the download.
It's not getting anymore static than that since we maintain version history in the filenames.

Cheers,
Eivind

Hello again. Based on these new links I set my CI scripts to use the download link for version 10.2.0 from this page. Today, I found that this version is no longer available, only 10.2.1. Additionally, the structure of the links changed - whereas the other day the folder the file were in began with nRF5-, it now seems to begin with nRF-. Will this stabilize at some point?

+1. I am seriously considering just hosting my own version after downloading it once. I would really like static links so that I don't need to go through that extra bookkeeping

+1 please provide static links so we automate toolchain install and software builds, thank you
