nRF Command Line Tools for ARM aarch64?

Hi folks,

Looking at the nRF Command Line Tools download page, I can see versions of the nRF Command Line Tools for Linux, MacOS and Windows.  The Linux versions come as variants for 32- and 64-bit Intel.  Is there a build for ARM aarch64?  If not, is that something you might consider providing in the future?  ARM now provide their GNU ARM Embedded toolchain for these three platforms, and it would be very useful it it was possible to directly build and flash on aarch64.

If you don't provide binaries, is it possible to build the command line tools from source?

Thanks, Roger

  • For others with the same problem: since updating my J-Link software to 7.x (with native M1 support), nrfjprog didn't work anymore, due to the incompatible J-LINK library. 

    The solution was to install a second, older J-Link version without M1 support, so that it runs with Rosetta. Then use the nrfjprog option --jdll to tell it to use the older library.


    --jdll /Applications/SEGGER/JLink_V688a/libjlinkarm.dylib

    I hope this helps someone, until Nordic supports the M1 natively!
