nrf.exe for Mac OSX

[wim]

Hi

is there a possibility to make nrf.exe work under OSX? Is my understanding correct that it is actually written in python, hence, should be portable to mac osx or linux?

I found the code on github, but that were only python scripts. How is the nrf.exe compiled from python to a binary windows executable?

The reason for me asking is that my entire development environment is on Mac except the last step of generating a dfu package. Would be nice to have that available on mac as well.

Hi,

For Mac and OSX there's pc-nrfutil.

Best regards,

I've just followed the instructions for setting it up on OSX (El Capitan) but its unhappy.

I've got the right version of Python, installed it all, looks like no faults during installation but when I run

nrfutil --help Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread Abort trap: 6 Chriss-MacBook-Pro:pc-nrfutil-master christopher$

Basically ends up crashing and throwing up an error.
