Environment

Tell us about your setup:

• NPM (run npm -v): 7.11.2
• Particle CLI (run particle version):

can you try again with your terminal's "open using rosetta" option checked?

That did resolve it. Any plans to have a build for the M1 ?
Can I help at all?

Any plans to have a build for the M1?

yes, in time. we're basically downstream of Node.js (which added support as of v16), node-usb (which seems to have added support as of v1.7.1), and node-serialport (where things seem a bit more complicated) so it may be a while.

Can I help at all?

thanks for the offer 🙏 i'd point you at those upstream project(s) as they're far more in need of help than us in some regards. ultimately once our dependencies have full and stable support, we'll need to update to the latest / greatest over here, test, and release.

Any updates here? I tried installing using rosetta but particle-cli depends on brew and I already have a LARGE brew install of M1 compiled dependencies
