Error when open SEGGER Embedded Studio for ARM V4.20a on mac os

[Zhenchuan]

Hello,

I was trying to open SEGGER Embedded Studio for ARM V4.20a on MAC.

However, I encountered:

"SEGGER Embedded Studio configuration error. 'studio.xml' user interface configuration file can't be found or isn't valid XML."

How to fix it?

Thanks

I have the same problem, too. I am also using the 4.30 from SEGGER, could this be the issue?

Finally, I found out a temporary solution:

Right click on the SEGGER Embedded Studio for ARM 4.20a.app, then choose Show Package Contents, click Content then MacOS, double click emStudio to launch the app, then it will launch without the error. However, if you do this in Catalina (10.15), all the executables and .so's will be blocked from launching and you will have to approve each one of them manually. Good thing is, you only need to do this once.

Hope this helps.

Hey, Thank you for directing me to this post for the solution. I tried it the way you mentioned. It still shows the same error. Also, there is no "emStudio" in my folder extracted. However, if you download the same version from Segger website, the "studio.xml"problem is solved but in the options tab, I could find "nRF connect tab" Are you also facing the same issue, after SEGGER Embedded Studio for ARM 4.20a.app starts working?

The emStudio is inside the application, so you have to follow what I said above to open it (Right-click on the Segger app, then choose "Show Package Content" and such. The full path to the emStudio executable is:

/Applications/arm_segger_embedded_studio_v420a_macos_x64_nordic/SEGGER Embedded Studio for ARM 4.20a.app/Contents/MacOS/emStudio

Thanks, Ed. Yes, it works perfectly now on my Catalina.
