Thank you for maintaining!

Thanks for your contributions, jacko.

Seems like the new version of linkserver is fine as well with the IDE. I found that you need to go to Linkserver config in the IDE and specify the directory to be /opt/linkserver.

Also, I think this package needs some more dependencies. I found that linkserver requires python3.8 and libncurses5 (or these might be required for MCUxpresso). Refer to the installation guide here which I took from the install directory of mcuxpresso: https://github.com/jack-obrien/broken-knees/blob/main/MCUXpresso_IDE_11.10.0_Installation_Guide.pdf

I found that without these dependencies, running linkserver would fail.

These are provided by the arch packages python38 and ncurses5-compat-libs

@jacko, I noticed the issue. Seems that the version of linkserver in mcuxpresso-ide is bound by mcuxpresso-ide. However, I haven't tested whether the newer version of linkserver works fine in mcuxpresso-ide.

Hey, looks like this pkg build requires the version of linkserver which is packaged with mcuxpresso-ide, i.e. 1.6.133 (it is contained in the deb.bin). If you follow the upstream URL listed here, it points to the version 24.9.75 which seems to be incompatible with the IDE.
