Hi Nordic, can you tell me what may be the issue west is having?

This seems to be a tool issue on Macbook. 

Can you try to use the Toolchain manager instead to install the SDK?

[Andy Aoe]

I erased my machine and installed toolchain 2.0.0 but still get the same result

Have you tried this with tool chain manager? If it does not work with the toolchain manager, i need to report this to the tools team.

[Andy Aoe]

Yes, the steps to recreate

1. fully erase Macbook Pro Intel
2. Run west init -m github.com/.../sdk-nrf --mr v2.0.1 and fail
3. Follow Steps 1-3 on https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/gs_installing.html#gs-installing
4. Run west init -m github.com/.../sdk-nrf --mr v2.0.1 and fail

[Susheel Nuguru]

I will report this internally. Due to lack of people due to summer holidays, I might not get a response from the R&D team until they come back to work. I appreciate your patience.
