[ANSWERED] JLink support for broadcom bcm3349?

tlu · Apr 30th 2016, 6:02pm

Hi fellow members and experts,

Does anyone know if there is support for the Broadcom bcm3349 mcu? I'm using the JLink EDU version of the hardware. I can't seem to make a successful jtag connection to the intended target. Please advise.

Thanks,
tlu

Ok, I thought it was my J-Link but I tried to do the same with my colleague's J-Link PRO dongle and I still was not successful with making the connection. I'm relatively new to using the Segger J-Link Commander interface and maybe I'm missing something. Is there a simple trick to initiate the BCM33xx targets? I do have an STM32F4 Discovery board which I heard Segger now provides the J-Link compatible firmware but I rather not go that route as Segger hardwares are the golden standard when it comes to JTAG. Please advise.

Thanks

Hi,

currently, no BCM target is supported (segger.com/jlink_supported_devices.html).
I will check with my colleagues , but afaik support for MIPS core is not planned for the (near) future.

Best regards,
Niklas

Hi Niklas,

Thanks for the provided information. I did noticed that mips32 core were not part of the supported devices. Is there a particular reason why the mips core isn't support with Segger's J-Link dongle just out of curiosity?

Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,

supporting a new core is a huge chunk of work and also needs to be maintained.
Unfortunately, we receive way to less request regarding MIPS cores in order to justify the amount of work necessary in order to support a new core.

Best regards,
Niklas
