nrfutil installation failing

[Hugo Habicht]

Hi all,

the installation of nrfutils as per nordic infocenter

is failing. Not sure if the first step worked (claims it did but with some error messages):

Next step definitely failed:

So since this python stuff is not working here my question:

How do I create a DFU file without nrfutil?

Hex Files or S-record files don't really support higher order DFU cases, where you want to continue a partial flash or check in the bootloader whether the application actually fits the flashed softdevice version.

Also, you can get python 3 on RHEL7.

Hi Turbo-J,

I did not read your post earlier using the 5.2.0 version which most likely would have worked; thank you for that.

Now installing python3 broke everything. pip is not working any longer and stopping with an error message and to solve that internet research suggest to remove python-setuptools and reinstall them. Unfortunately removing that also removes a lot of essential OS resources and application software. So basically my computer is screwed... Thanks nordic for this python crap...

ok, got the pip problem sorted. lets see now if the nrfutils stuff runs...

Hi,

so the 5.2.0 install doesn't seem to work either.

I have no idea what is happening and since that python stuff is an absolute no-go area for us I am going home now and do something constructive (fixing the roof of my shed) instead of wasting my time here.

Regards,
