DW3_QM33_SDK_1.0.2 SDK troubles on Macos

Wireless Connectivity Ultra-Wideband

so I have downloaded the new sdk/toolkit. for use under Visual Studio code

I want to extend an existing board, so I can’t figure that out
I copied an existing board to a new folder, and

all the readme tasks are done, python, gcc, cmake, …
I had to manually install the gcc arm compiler, as the linux version doesn’t run on mac.

I run the build process check configuration and get the right info

*** CURRENT CONFIGURATION: BUILD=UCI BOARD=Type2AB_EVB_Bonded CPU=nrf52840 ***

but the CreateTarget.py doesn’t seem to do anything..
as the BuildOutput folder isn’t created.

when I try to build I get this

 *  Executing task in folder Type2AB_EVB_Bonded: make all V=1 -j 

make: *** No rule to make target `all'.  Stop.

so I’m stuck at this point

I manually changed the file to get to the new board, as there isn’t doc on making a board and adding it to the file tree.

ctrl-shit-B doesn’t have select configuration

also, check config reports errors

Error: the task '_force create target' neither specifies a command nor a dependsOn property. The task will be ignored. Its definition is:
{
    "label": "_force create target",
    "type": "shell",
    "group": {
        "kind": "build"
    },
    "windows": {
        "command": "python ${workspaceRoot}/Projects/DW3_QM33_SDK/FreeRTOS/${input:boardConfig}/CreateTarget.py ${input:buildConfig}"
    },
    "linux": {
        "command": "python3 ${workspaceRoot}/Projects/DW3_QM33_SDK/FreeRTOS/${input:boardConfig}/CreateTarget.py ${input:buildConfig}"
    },
    "hide": true,
    "presentation": {
        "group": "build",
        "clear": true
    }
}

but like launch, doesn’t have a macos option.

HI @rexxdad ,

It’s stated in the Release notes that Macos is only supported for the GUI (See capture below from the Release notes):

MacOS will be supported in the next QM33 SDK release.

thanks. can you tell how far away that is?

my other choice is windows on arm, and I’m having trouble getting sll the tools in place. make is my next challenge

moved to my linux box, dont want it there, but gotta make progress

so, design question

i need to add ble support.

peripheral to some , not all, central and pairing to some, not all

i dont see a define for board name, but sep folders for each board

so i assume unique per board goes in each board folder

if i wanted something across multiple boards but not all id have to define some var in the make file i guess,
i guess i cant build all
