It seems that newtmgr runs, uploads something (the progress bar advances until almost the very end), and then produces an “Error: 3”. Quick search didn’t produce useful clues, so I’m asking for help.

Error: 3
This is on a Mac (11.4), I tried with ncs 1.6.0 and then downgraded to 1.5.0. I did install the serial driver and gave the kext permission to load.
I should probably mention that this is the first time I’m actually bringing up the board, so whatever bootloader is on it is likely quite old.
