I've never been able to build my application that incorporates MCUBoot under macOS, and I believe others have had issues as well. I had to buy a PC to do most of my development, but my hope springs eternal that I can continue development on my M1 MacBook Air.
Setup: SDK v2.2.0, Zephyr, macOS Monterey.
I can easily reproduce the issue with the Hello World sample app. Here is how.
- Get a Apple Silicon MacBook (M1 or newer)
- Download the Hello World sample.
- Choose the v2.2.0 SDK.
- Set a build configuration for the nrf52840 DK.
- Do a pristine build, and it will compile fine.
- Add this line to the prj.conf:
CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y
- Do a pristine build, and it will fail with the errors below.
- My support information is also copied in below.
Note that I did a fresh reinstall of the SDK, Visual Studio Code, and nRF Connect before I tried the above. It fails the same way in my app, too.
It seems related to an environment variable issue with ZEPHYR_NRF_MODULE_DIR. But that environment variable is correctly set to /opt/nordic/ncs/v2.2.0/nrf.
Hopefully someone at Nordic Semi can use this recipe and try to reproduce the issue and recommend a solution.
Best,
Steve
