Hi,
I am attempting to set up SPSDK in a Python environment using Termux application in android to flash firmware via SPI/I2C to a custom IMXRT1176 MCU board (QSPI flash, SDK v2.15.100), but encountering a dependency error.

Steps followed :

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install spsdk
spsdk --help

Environment Details:

Termux: Android 15, Linux kernel 5.4.274-qgki (aarch64)

Python: 3.12.11 | Pip: 25.1.1

I am encountering an issue while installing SPSDK in a Python environment via Termux on Android. The installation fails when building wheels for cmsis-pack-manager, and I’d greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions to resolve this.

"ERROR: Could not build wheels for cmsis-pack-manager, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects".

As we need to flash the firmware from android device to other device we require the blhost.(IMXRT1176 Firmware upgrade using SPI/I2C)

I had referred this link : https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-RT-Crossover-MCUs/IMXRT1176-Firmware-upgrade-using-SPI-I2C/m-p/211...

(Note: I am using an custom designed IMXRT1176 MCU board with QSPI flash with SDK Version v2_15_100 and also the IMXRT1176_EVKB board.)

So can you guide me if there is any tool or dependencies that I am missing ?

This is critical for my project timeline, so if there’s any additional information I can provide or alternative steps to try, please let me know. Thank you for your time and support—I’m happy to provide further details if needed.

Best regards,
Akshatha
