chore(nordic): nrfjprog as part of nRF Command Line Tools has been archived and replaced with nrfutil.
See https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-tools/nRF-Command-Line-Tools/Download : "Important: The nRF Command Line Tools have been archived and replaced by nRF Util. No further updates will be made to the nRF Command Line Tools. Last supported operating systems are Windows 10, Linux Ubuntu 22.04, and macOS 13. The nRF Command Line Tools will remain available for download, but do not install the SEGGER J-Link version they provide if you have a newer version installed." and "nrfjprog executable - tool for programming through SEGGER J-LINK programmers and debuggers - nrfjprog is officially deprecated and is being replaced by nRF Util. This affects the nRF Connect SDK v2.8.0, where nrfjprog will be removed in an upcoming release. Use nRF Util for all related tasks going forward."
[no changelog]
What changed, and why it matters
This is a routine build tooling update. The commit replaces one Nordic programming tool (nrfjprog) with its newer replacement (nrfutil) in a CMake board configuration file. It does not change any firmware code that runs on the Trezor device or affect how the device operates.
No security action needed. Treat as a normal dependency/toolchain maintenance update.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The single-line change in nordic/trezor/boards/arm/t3w1_revA_nrf52832/board.cmake swaps the included Zephyr board runner script from nrfjprog.board.cmake to nrfutil.board.cmake. This follows Nordic Semiconductor’s deprecation of nrfjprog in favor of nRF Util. The change is purely in the flashing/debugging toolchain integration and has no runtime security implications.
