  • problem connectin JLINK.exe to SAM-ICE

    I have a sam-ice and am using J-link to connect to the SAM-ICE.
    I have an AT91SAM9260-EK
    I don't have the SAM-ICE connected to it -- I'm just trying to make sure I can connect the PC to the SAM ICE
    When I start JLink.exe,
    The SAM-ICE LED blinks like it is communicating with the PC and it says:

    SEGGER J-Link Commander V3.86g ('?' for help)

    Can not connect to J-Link via USB.
    J-Link>?

    Any hints on what to try next? Do I have a SAM-ICE hardware problem? A jlink or driver problem or a just a user problem??
    Thanks,
  • Hello cherice,

    Is the SAM-ICE LED continously flashing at a high frequency when you connect the SAM-ICE to the PC?
    If yes, it seems that the SAM-ICE can not be enumerated by the USB-controller.
    Could you please perform the steps described in the J-Link / J-Trace User Guide, chapter "Troubleshooting", section "Typical problem scenarios"?

    the crash-problem regarding the "st" command is fixed in the current J-Link software version (3.90).
    The latest software version can be downloaded from our website: segger.com/download_jlink.html

    Best regards,

    Alex

  • Jlink.exe to Sam-Ice for at91SSM9260-EK

    It turned out to be some sort of USB problem.

    I had installed the driver with ithe cable plugged into USB1, and it was expecting USB0, even after I moved the cable to the usb0 port it had trouble.

    So at the prompt, I typed usbaddr 0 and jlink prompted me to disconnect and reconnect the cable and re-installed the driver properly.
