Getting nerves_bootstrap (Hex package)

I think this is the first time we’ve seen this error. I just tried reproducing the error on an M1 Mac w/ Elixir 1.15.1 and Erlang 26.0.2 and couldn’t.
Could you give more details on your setup? How did you install Elixir and are there other archives installed? (run mix archive to get the installed archive list)
I installed elixir with asdf as described in the Nerves installation page. It’s a fresh install of elixir, so there are no other–aside from hex–archives installed.
So, I blitzed my asdf dir and started over. Now I get a different error:
$ mix archive.install hex nerves_bootstrap

Even more puzzling, if I run it again, I get a third error:

I’m really grasping, though. If you could copy all output starting from installing asdf, Erlang, and Elixir and finally the mix install hex nerves_bootstrap line, perhaps there’s a warning buried in there.

Sorry for the delays in responding. It seems like mid-August caught up with Jon and me.
As far as I can tell, you’re doing everything right. The error that you’re getting should have been a good hint, but I can not reproduce it. I created an issue to track it.
Could you try installing nerves_bootstrap like this and let me know if it works?
mix archive.install github nerves-project/nerves_bootstrap branch support-nerves-1.8-and-later
# If successful, try this
mix nerves.new test_project # answer y to the question
cd test_project
export MIX_TARGET=rpi0
mix deps.get
mix firmware
You won’t be able to use Nerves versions before v1.8.0, but that version is over a year old now.
Thanks for your patience with what should have been an easy step.
@tobytripp Can you try the newly released nerves_boostrap v1.12.1? It completely removes the legacy tasks that are showing in your failure traces here so I’m hopeful it fixes things for you
