Hello all,
The newtmgr tool location has changed:
From: https://github.com/apache/mynewt-newt/tree/master/newtmgr
To: https://github.com/apache/mynewt-newtmgr/tree/master/newtmgr
To download the latest newtmgr, use the following command:
go get mynewt.apache.org/newtmgr/...
The plan is to remove the "old" newtmgr from the newt repo when Mynewt
1.1 is released.
The "new" newtmgr has improved BLE support. BLE should now work more
reliably on Linux and macOS. The particulars are documented here:
http://mynewt.apache.org/latest/newtmgr/command_list/newtmgr_conn/
My preferred way to use BLE is to create a "ble" connection profile with
an empty connstring:
newtmgr conn add ble type=ble connstring=' '
Then, specify the target device name on the command line each time you
send a command:
newtmgr -c ble --name nimble-bleprph echo hello
Rationale:
The reason for the move is to simplify downloading and
building of newt and newtmgr. The "go get" command works better with
the "mynewt.apache.org" vanity domain when there is one application per
repo. Since the vanity domain requires the use of the "..." syntax in
the `go get` command, the entire repo gets downloaded, including
applications that weren't requested.
Thanks,
Chris
