Installing Command Line Tools 10.4.0 fails on MacOS (10.14.6)

Pertti Kasanen

Installing the new nRF-Command-Line-Tools_10_4_0_OSX.pkg fails on MacOS (10.14.6). The installer gets to the summary stage and displays an error "please contact the supplier".

Installing the 10.3.0 in the same way succeeds.

    Hi,

    We have now released nRF Command Line Tools v10.4.1, where the issue of failing installer on MacOS is fixed.

    The issue of nrfjprog failing on MacOS and GNU/Linux is also fixed.

    For those of you using the nRF91 series this means you now have the fixes introduced in v10.4.0 working on all platforms.

    Regards,
    Terje

    Hi Tesc, nrfjprog still fails on my Mac after installing v10.4.1. The installer works fine, but running nrfjprog goes like this:

    $ ./nrfjprog --reset --program /var/folders/tq/c6wwp0ks41zdg9d9w9t5y32w0000gn/T/arduino_build_392483/sketch_oct10a.ino.hex --sectorerase -f nrf52
    ERROR: JLinkARM DLL load failed. Try again. If it keeps failing, please
    ERROR: reinstall latest JLinkARM from Segger webpage.

    I ran the JLink installer in the Nordic package, same effect.

    I ran the official JLink installer from SEGGER, same effect.

    Any ideas?

    Hi Terje, here are some screenshots of the JLink apps working with my JLink programmer:

    They work, but nrfjprog does not. The device and programmer are powered. I tried removing the flags as you suggested but it didn't help. I then shortened the command to simply erase the chip but the same error was displayed.

    What else can I try?

    , I haven't managed to replicate it on my mac, but I think the nrfjprog log may give us a hint of what the issue is. Could you run "nrfjprog -e --log" and check in the log if both the nRF_open_dll and Segger_open_dll load paths match your installation? 

    The log I got for reference:

    When I first ran your suggestion, I got this:

    $ nrfjprog -e --log
    WARNING: No logging will be possible since nrfjprog.exe has no write permission

    I then ran:

    $ sudo ./nrfjprog -e --log

    Do you have a folder name just "JLink" in this folder which points to your JLink_V654a folder?

    My current installation:

    $ pwd

    /Applications/SEGGER

    $ ls -l

    total 0

    lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    32 Nov 15 09:48 JLink -> /Applications/SEGGER/JLink_V654c

    Please try to install nrfjprog v10.5.0 if you still see the issue. This release included some improvements that might be relevant to this. And if that doesn't help you may also try to install Jlink v.6.54c

    Hey Vidor,

    I'm getting much further with 10.5.0, now it appears my JLinkARM device's serial number of '-1' is stopping things. I've attached the log here:

    nrfjprog seems intent on /not/ checking the serial number, so why is it halting on the result of "Segger_connect_to_emu_without_snr"?

    Thanks,

    Excellent, it looks to be correctly installed now. But the SN shouldn't be '-1', maybe you have a jlink clone? I found a similar forum post about that here: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/43197/nrfjproj-error-jlinkarm-dll-reported-an-error. In that case I would consider to be a Nordic dev kit. It has an on-board Jlink lite.

    Yes I was using a JLink clone but I'm surprised nrfjprog checked the serial number, again considering the log implies it's not interested in the serial number.

    I just bought a JLink EDU and the chain works as expected.

    Thanks!
