There was a similar thread where I posted that the Segger tools needed to be installed due to a missing shared object library.

So - I just encountered this problem with my MacBook Air (M2). Was happening even though I had nrfjprog installed / in the path (and had installed the NRF Command Line Tools as per instructed).

If I ran nrfjprog from a command line - I got the help text. However - if I tried running nrfjprog with any parameters "nrfjprog -v" - it failed to run with a DLL error.

So - on a whim - I tried downgraded the NRF Command Line Tools from the latest (10.18.0 as of Oct-12-2022) down to version 10.17.3 - and voila! Everything works!

May or may not be related to your issue.

I have the same issue. I have the three executables in "/opt/nrf-command-line-tools/bin" and I added that into PATH before executing 'code'

* First when I just specify PATH, I will get the nrfjprog error that the OP reported.

* But when I specify, "/opt/nrf-command-line-tools/bin" the "nrfjprog is required" error disappears and it only says, "Invalid toolchain installation." with no further explanation.

This has been very puzzling.

Hi,

Please install nRF Command Line Tools and SEGGER software following this guide: Installing the nRF Command Line Tools, then refresh VS Code.

Best regards,
