Getting started with Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense

#1

Using MacOS 10.15.6
Used brew to install node.
Used brew to install arduino-cli
$ node -v returns v14.10.1
$ arduino-cli board list returns
Port Type Board Name FQBN Core
/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port Serial Port Unknown
/dev/cu.RonaldsiPad-WirelessiAP Serial Port Unknown
/dev/cu.usbmodem14201 Serial Port (USB) Arduino Nano 33 BLE arduino-beta:mbed:nano33ble arduino-beta:mbed

My problem is when I run:
$ npm install -g edge-impulse-cli

-bash: edge-impulse-daemon: command not found

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Hi @ron333, the CLI builds some native tools to talk over the serial port, which require a compiler on your system.

Based on https://medium.com/flawless-app-stories/gyp-no-xcode-or-clt-version-detected-macos-catalina-anansewaa-38b536389e8d I suspect that:

xcode-select --install

And then reinstalling again should work. Let me know if that helps.

I did this:
Ronalds-MBP:~ ronald$ sudo xcode-select --install

Password:

xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use “Software Update” to install updates

What to do now?
Thanks,
Ron

Hi Ron, hard to say… https://github.com/schnerd/d3-scale-cluster/issues/7 indicates that similar issues were resolved via:

sudo xcode-select -r

Then:

sudo xcodebuild -license

But I’ve never seen this error unfortunately.

#5

The Xcode license goes on and on and on. I do not understand it.

Can I specify another compiler?

I did
$ gcc --version

Ronalds-MBP:~ ronald$ gcc --version

Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1

Apple clang version 11.0.3 (clang-1103.0.32.62)

Target: x86_64-apple-darwin19.6.0

Thread model: posix

InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

Thanks again.
Ron

I made a mistake in my first attempt. You said to reinstall (arduino-cli).

Now I did the following:
$ brew remove arduino-cli
$brew install arduino-cli

Now when doing:
$ npm install -g edge-impulse-cli

It works:

Thank you for using serialport!
