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.

The JLink debugger and tools are available for Linux. They can be downloaded from the SEGGER website: www.segger.com/jlink-software.html

Using the deb package, the tools are installed in /opt/SEGGER/ and the udev rule /etc/udev/rules.d/99-jlink.rules is created automatically. I am able to program the nRF51 dev kit correctly on Linux using the Segger tools :

$ JLinkExe -device nrf51822 -if SWD -speed 4000
SEGGER J-Link Commander V5.10g (Compiled Jan  6 2016 13:54:12)
JJ-Link>connect
Device "NRF51822_XXAA" selected.
[...]

I also successfully installed nRF Go Studio on Linux. I had to use Wine to install it. It is based on Qt but there is no Linux binary.

Now, how can be used the installed Segger tools with the NRF Go Studio application running with wine ?

I am trying with WINE on my mac but , maybe because I don't know wine well enough, I can't seem to get USB ports to be mapped through to WINE. I have the studio working just great but it does not recognise the USB segger plugged in -- any tips?
