I can sympathize.
When I wandered deep into the frustration of the seemingly impossible, I’d entertain the idea of working at an ice cream shop - where the toughest question was ”Do you want sprinkles on that?”
You mentioned leaving the field for a time, working in fishpacking. I immediately flashed on W. Somerset Maugham’s novel “The Razor’s Edge.” The protagonist, Larry(?), leaves everything behind, opting for an uncomplicated life, working for a time in a fishery.
I’m sure you’ll work through it to find your right path.
Time is the differentiation of eternity devised by man to measure the passage of human events.

Dealing with toolchains and libraries is my definition of Hell. I just want to create, to make practical my ideas and needs. The logic is simple. The code is simple. The tools...just so often make it a nightmare by insisting on being clever. And my soul is sucked dry.
I feel your pain.
cheers

Had a discussion with one of my team just last week along similar lines. When "matter of principle" or "good money after bad" come into the conversation, it's time to flip the "go around" switch and get back to altitude and look around. Sometimes it comes down to saying I made a bad decision, let's move on.
I know it is more difficult with hardware involved, but I have a box somewhere of various GPS stuff and other assorted hardware that was shelved after time and money spent.
Relax, do something for a day that takes your mind off the issue. My choice would be fishing, not packing fish but whatever floats your boat

Yeah, I find meditative reflection to be helpful, and I can do that with menial labor on someone else's agenda. It also paid marginally better than fishing. It was the polar opposite of what I was doing, while still being work, so it was appealing.
I'm not convinced this is a bad decision yet. The only thing ventured so far is my time and a few bucks for some evaluation boards.
It's just the learning curve is a vertical climb, and I've been fought every step of the way. If I can move past that and get somewhat comfortable, things will be okay. I'm going to spend some more time with it, including taking a course at the end of august on this stuff (much as I don't do well with course style learning, I am learning what I think they'll teach ahead of time and I intend to use the time for Q&A as much as possible)

I am going through the same crap right now myself.
This toolchain does it this way; that one does it that way; this one has this feature; that one doesn't; this one's feature doesn't work; that one feature is obtuse; .....
Waaay back when, I had a simple makefile, simple library linkages, simple programming structures....Now, it takes two weeks just to set up a project build with all the options working correctly, all the libraries referencing the correct version, etc., etc., etc.
Just yesterday, I wanted to use kdbg on a Linux MX distribution (I have it working on a Linux Mint distro)---could not compile it because of missing modules...and I could find sources/libraries for the modules.
FRUSTRATION!
