Installing IDE version 25.6.136 and linkserver 25.6.131 fixed all issues for me. As of writing this comment both packages are out of date.

I'm also seeing the python issue when running arm-none-eabi-gdb. Has anyone else encountered/solved this?

can't debug when i click debug button, prampt this:

Has anyone encountered the same problem?

Added the linkserver package from AUR as a dependency as the IDE seems to rely on it.

The issue with Template not found for name memory.ldt. or other linker script errors is because it's now required to also install LinkServer.

E.g. LinkServer_1.6.133.x86_64.deb is part of the mcuxpressoide-11.10.0_3148.x86_64.deb.bin file, but is not installed by this PKGBUILD.

I've manually installed it and it solves the linker error. Please update the PKGBUILD accordingly. Thanks!

I'm having a weird linker error with latest update (11.9.0_2144-1) testing many projects, particularly the blinky demo test for the FRMD-K64F with the latest SDK.

Has anyone had this problem?

There were reports in this forum: https://community.nxp.com/t5/MCUXpresso-IDE/MCUXpresso-IDE-v11-9-0-migration/td-p/1791571, running Linux particularly, but the solution is "reinstalling" the IDE, clean all the project, switching to a new workspace, etc,... all things that I already tested without results.

Below is the last part of the console log:

Edit: code block

New version is out (11.8.1_1197). Update is here: - PKGBUILD: https://pastebin.com/PZh8SC93 - .SRCINFO: https://pastebin.com/p5PZc4v1

With the latest version (11.8.0_1165-1), there is an issue where the installer cannot find ProductLicense.txt, because now the file name has been changed to LICENSE

to fix that, just replace ProductLicense.txt with LICENSE in PKGBUILD

@xiretza I got it working by installing SDKs as user root.
