ledgerctl install app.toml results in ledgerwallet.client.CommException: Exception : Invalid status 6512 (Unknown reason) on macOS

[CyonAlexRDX]

Trying to sideload to Ledger Nano S Plus with firmware: SE: 1.1.0, MCU 4.03, bootloader 3.12.

Any idea on how to solve: ledgerwallet.client.CommException: Exception : Invalid status 6512 (Unknown reason) ?

hit Invalid status 6512 on same versions (SE: 1.1.0, MCU 4.03)

@CyonAlexRDX were you able to solve this? thanks!

The problem was that I was running an old version of ledgerctl

± pip3 list | grep ledger
ledgerblue                0.1.47
ledgerwallet              0.1.4

The solution is to install the latest version:

# 0.3.0 was released on  May 29, 2023
pip3 install ledgerwallet==0.3.0

Hi, the 6512 status comes from a missing ApiLevel that needs to be transmitted when installing applications on devices that have a quite recent OS version (>= 1.1.0 for Nano S+ for example). ledgerctl did not handle that flag until recently.

I'm running into the same issue when trying to install the alephium app. installing the latest version of ledgerwallet did not work

17 months later I got hit by this on macOS Sonoma 14.6 (23G80), on same machine (Mac Studio Apple Silicon M1 Max).

I finally got it working on my Ledger Nano S Plus by

1. Upgrade Ledger firmware to SE 1.1.2

Not sure this is needed. Previously I had 1.1.1.

2. Ensure to NOT use venv with Python, instead use break-system-packages

python3 -m pip config set global.break-system-packages true && pip3 install protobuf==3.20.3 && pip3 install ledgerwallet==0.5.1

@yhql @yogh333 would be great if Ledger could try to improve the developer experience of side loading....

Has anyone actually got python virtual environment to work on macOS and being able to communicate with a physical Ledger device? It would be preferable to not have to python3 -m pip config set global.break-system-packages true...
