nRF Connect VS Code extension no connected devices

[julien.h]

Hello,

I recently installed the nRF Connect extension for VS Code on my Mac M1. I am unable to see my connected board as part of the nRF Connect extension.

Setup

• nrfjprog version: 10.14.0 external
• JLinkARM.dll version: 7.54c
• M1 Macbook

Something odd I noticed is when I ran the nrfjprog command in the terminal I get:

nrfjprog --version --log
ERROR: [SeggerBackend] - The J-Link library does not support execution inside rosetta 2. Try executing with arch -arch arm64 nrfjprog...
ERROR: An internal error has occurred, please try again.

If I run with the suggested option then it completes successfully:

arch -arch arm64 nrfjprog -v
nrfjprog version: 10.14.0 external
JLinkARM.dll version: 7.54c

I am then also able to see the serial number of the debugger connected:

arch -arch arm64 nrfjprog --ids
683511319

Am I missing something in my VS Code setup? Is there a known issue with the VS Code extension on M1 mac?

Hi julien.h,

Unfortunately there is no fix at the moment to this issue since there are some parts in this setup that have no M1 support. In any case we are aware and we try to work out the solution.
