nRFGo Studio port to MacOSX and Linux

[Bernard P]

Hi,

Using the nRFGo Studio software, I noticed this is actually running using the Qt framework that makes porting application between Windows, MacOSX and Linux really easy. As frameworks like AVR or MSP are being better supported on platforms other than windows, it would be wonderful to have a software such as nRFGo studio work on those platforms as well.

So, is there any plans going for distributing the software on other platforms? If not, would you consider doing so?

I would so much love add make the .xml translation into the .h in my project's Makefile, without having to go do it in my windows virtual machine.

Hi

Unfortunately this is not on the roadmap as of today.

We have had this on the 'nice to have' list for a while, and one of the reasons for picking Qt in the first place was the multi platform support, but we haven't yet had the resources to implement it across the platforms.

Best regards Torbjørn

NORDIC: It is time to go to open source. If you focus on where your value add is (the ICs and the SDKs/Soft Devices That make use of them) these other tools are just gravy, making the community happier with your ICs.

Look at the BCM chip on the Raspberry Pi. Who would THINK to use a BCM chip!! Yet here the world is, devouring Raspberry PI boards. Because the COMMUNITY stepped in (and one awesome guy) stepped in and made it the power-house that it is.

Don't get caught up in the silly copyright issues. You are holding back your chipset, and holding back your influence on the world. Stop.
