I have issues building Adafruit nRF52832 under arduino platform, i noticed is something doing with the user’s name “ricky gai” where the error is caused by python.exe as shown below:

c:\users\ricky gai.platformio\penv\scripts\python.exe “C:\Users\RICKY GAI.platformio\packages\tool-adafruit-nrfutil\adafruit-nrfutil.py” dfu genpkg --dev-type 0x0052 --sd-req 0x00B7 --application .pio\build\adafruit_feather_nrf52832\firmware.hex .pio\build\adafruit_feather_nrf52832\firmware.zip

A PlatformIO builder script or sub-tool is not properly escaping the path – first c:\users\ricky gai.platformio\penv\scripts\python.exe should have been "c:\users\ricky gai.platformio\penv\scripts\python.exe". The problem lies in

  1. Open the file explorer and find the file C:\Users\<user>\.platformio\platforms\nordicnrf52\builder\main.py
  2. Find the above referenced line 133 and replace "$PYTHONEXE" with '"$PYTHONEXE"'.
  3. Rebuild.
  4. Open an issue at Issues · platformio/platform-nordicnrf52 · GitHub to get this resolved on the developer side.

Thank you so much for the hints, solved the issues :o) to update, the actual path of nRF52832’s main.py is under:

C:\Users\RICKY GAI.platformio\platforms\nordicnrf52\builder\main.py

Great, issue is open in Unespaced path problem in main.py · Issue #128 · platformio/platform-nordicnrf52 · GitHub.

After I try to upload via JLink, it shown signing error:

Any idea ?

Well same issie again, missing escape. This time in the line

Try changing again "$PYTHONEXE" to '"$PYTHONEXE"' in line 152.

hi, I have tried the same method but still failed.

My bad, I was wrong. Not only do you have to do the above though, but additionally change

to

    '"%s"' % join(
        platform.get_package_dir(
            "framework-arduinoadafruitnrf52"
        )
        or "",
        "tools",
        "pynrfbintool",
        "pynrfbintool.py",
    ),

The indentation has to match exactly, so be careful.

Thank you again maxgerhardt, now can compile and upload properly same sketch for both nRF52832 and nRF52840 after the red rectangle updated as shown on picture below.
