JLINKARM_DLL_COULD_NOT_BE_OPENED

I'm developing on an iMac M1.

Over 2 month I tried to get the nRF Connect for desktop (V3.9.3) running on my M1-mac, without success.

Toolchain manager (v0.10.3) works, I work with SES based on nRF Connect SDK v1.8.0

The following tools face an issue:

* Bluetooth Low Energy v3.0.0

* Programmer v2.2.0

* Power Profiler v3.3.0

  

Seems that all issues are based on a non accessible JLINKARM_DLL library?

How to fix?

  • I wanted to add another important point to this thread for the M1 Mac. You can setup your Mac to run nRF Connect -OR- nrfjprog but you can't run both. Here are the combinations that work on my system:

    x86 JLINK + nRF Tools + nRF Connect for Desktop ==> This combination lets you run nRF Connect tools such as the power profiler and RSSI viewer.

    M1 JLINK + nRF Tools ==> This combination lets you run the command line tools like nrfjprog and mergehex
