I just saw that the pull request has been merged a few hours ago, thought i'd share 🙂

Good point, "workaround" was a bad term. I cannot promise if/when it will be merged, but the maintainer is aware of it

Hi Einar,

The PR is not a workaround but a proper fix for nrfutil package that needs to be merged and then released to affect pip users.

Thanks for letting us know. Another workaround is to specify a protobuf version lower than 4.0.0 in requirements.txt as shown in PR 375.

Hi sebastien,

If that can be of any help, a decent work-around:

pip3 install protobuf==3.20.0 nrfutil

Cheers

Hi Einar,

We have the same problem here and our CI is currently stuck with the protobuf version.

Our full delivery system is currently stuck 😞

Thanks you for your help.

Best regards,

Hi Einar,

Thanks for you quick answer.

Not supporting newer python version is ok even if not convenient.

However not freezing the protobuf version is more of an issue as it will break recent nrfutil install on 3.9.

Sebastien

Hi Sebastien,

Your observations are correct, and for now you need to use an older python version. However, we have not given up on nrfutil but are in the process of rewriting it completely. This is well under way, but I cannot say exactly when the new version will be ready.
