It appears to have a dependency on : https://www.piwheels.org/project/pc-ble-driver-py/ which piwheels don't support.

Adafruit seem to have tried to fix this by creating a new package: https://www.piwheels.org/project/adafruit-nrfutil/

If you take a look pc-ble-driver-py on PyPI you'll see they generally don't release source distribution - just wheels for other platforms, so there's nothing for us to build. You could try filing an issue with the maintainers of that package.

Is adafruit-nrfutil a drop-in replacement?

ukBaz commented 3 years ago

It's not obvious if adafruit-nrfutil is a direct replacement or just works for their nrf boards.

I hadn't spotted that they aren't including sdist. I'm going down a deep hole looking at this. Seems to be a number of people having issues even if they build from github sources. e.g. https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/30787/building-pc-ble-driver-py-on-a-raspberry-pi

I'll move forward with the adafruit solution and see if I hit problems using it with the micro:bit

Thank for taking a look.
