M1 version of newtmgr

rxbynerd

Hi there!

I cannot use the version of newtmgr from https://docs.jaredwolff.com/files/newtmgr/darwin/newtmgr.zip as I have an M1 MacBook.

Please could you provide an M1 version of the binary, or a link to the source code so I can compile my own version?

Thanks!

Hi rxbynerd

You should be able to build from this repo: https://github.com/circuitdojo/mynewt-newtmgr

Amazing thank you — I’ll give that a bash!

Tragically, the build works & runs, but I then hit an “NMP timeout”.

I’m not sure if this is related to M1, newtmgr, or the board: I’ve had the board for a couple of months waiting for a project, and I’ve never successfully programmed it. I have a couple of Black Magic Probes kicking around for programming these the hard way, so I’ll try that tomorrow after I’ve had some sleep.

I would really like to get this working on M1, so if there’s any further information you would like to assist with this goal (or can point me in the right direction for pulling a PR together) then I’d love to help!

rxbynerd make sure that when you’re configuring newtmgr you use 1000000 BAUD. It will timeout if you’re using the wrong transfer rate. Also make sure you’re talking to the right COM port/device.

❯ newtmgr conn show
Connection profiles: 
  serial: type=serial, connstring='dev=/dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART,baud=1000000'
