  • SAM-ICE problem

    I have following problem with SAM-ICE. ARM processor no my board is not detected.

    When I connect USB-blaster (just for checking the JTAG) the processor is recognized,

    so Jtag connection is correct.



    Here is log from J-Link driver:

    Can you help me with this?

  • Hi,

    The response from the SAM3X does not really look okay...
    SAM-ICE detects a TotalIRLen of 5 bits, while it should be 4 bits if there is only the SAM3X in the JTAG chain.
    It seems that for some reason, an incorrect pattern detected on the TDO line.

    So far, I see two possible reasons for this:
    1) There is a faulty connection
    2) The SAM-ICE is damaged and therefore detects an incorrect pattern

    Are you working with an eval board or with custom hardware?


    Best regards

  • Hi Alex!

    Thanks for quick reply.



    I'm working with custom hardware and it seems that makes problems

    I've just connected SAM-ICE to Arduino Duo board and can read device ID,

    so the programmer is not damaged. I've tested with second one with the same result.



    I will continue to investigate the problem.

  • Hi,

    Alright. Good to hear that everything is working now.
    Wow, amazing how many people are still using JTAG for Cortex-M based devices instead of SWD which requires less lines... :)
