macOS 64-bit version of the LinkIt One utilities

End-Of-Life Products & Services LinkIt

macOS 10.15 Catalina no longer runs 32-bits applications.

The ~/Library/Arduino15/packages/LinkIt/tools/linkit_tools/1.1.23/ folder of the LinkIt One 1.1.23 core includes three utilities: two of them PackTag and PushTool aren’t 64-bits ready.

% file Downloader 
Downloader: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
% file PackTag
PackTag: Mach-O executable i386
% file PushTool
PushTool: Mach-O executable i386

Where to find the 64-bits versions of PackTag and PushTool, or the source code to build them against 64-bits?

Thank you!

Sorry, we can’t get the source code for this product, maybe you can go directly to mediatek to find it.

Thank you for your prompt answer.

I’ve already sent a ticket at Mediatek, as Mediatek Labs looks pretty dead.

No answer from Mediatek, although I’ve sent multiple messages. Furthermore, MediaTek Labs seem to be inactive.

On macOS 10.15 Catalina, there is a trick to run 32-bit applications.

sudo nvram boot-args=”no32exec=0″

For more information, please refer to Bringing back 32-bit apps to life.

We also get very little support from MTK. I’ll push them again.
