  • [ABANDONED] J-Link is low on memory -- restart from command-line?

    Hi!

    I wrote in another thread some time ago about getting this problem:

    Source Code

    1. ****** Error: The connected J-Link (S/N XXXXXXXX) is low on memory. Target connection cannot be established


    I have now fixed my test automation setup so I will not get this problem ordinarily. But, sometimes when I use the debugger manually, I do something that puts the debugger in this state anyway (e.g. when closing a Python process abruptly, giving it no chance to close the connection correctly).

    When that happens, I have to unplug and replug the debugger to get it working again. This is OK when I run on my own computer, but sometimes I run things remotely on a computer on the other side of the office building...

    Then, it would be nice to have some way to completely restart the debugger (in a manner similar to unplugging and replugging the USB cable) from the command-line, or some other program. Is there a convenient way to do this?

    This is not a big and important problem, but it would be nice if it was possible. :)

    Best regards,
    Fabian

  • Hello Fabian,

    To be able to investigate this further we would need a simple reproduction scenario so we can see where this issue is exactly coming from and what can be done to avoid it.
    Usually J-Link resets session information after a fixed timeout if the connections gets terminated unexpected.

    What J-Link Version are you using for your tests?
    What happens after a connection terminates unexpectedly? Do you reconnect immediately or wait a couple of seconds for the next try?
    Could you provide us with a simple reproduction scenario (preferably on eval board hardware)?

    Best regards,
    Nino
