  • [SOLVED]Can't change usb address of JLINK ARM V8

    I have tried to change the usb address of a JLINK ARM V8 with firmware from Dec 16 2010 20:21:29 and jlink software version 4.22a. I have another JLINK ARM-KS V5.2 and have no problem changing the usb address of that unit but can't change the usb address of the V8 JLINK.

    I have read the manual and use the command "usbaddr = 1" in the jlink.exe software, unplug the device and plug it back in but the address doesn't change.

    The date code on the JLINK is 10-46

    Thanks

  • Hello,

    I just verified that changing the USB adress on an J-Link works fine with the current release (V4.22a).
    At the time of the USB address change: Is the J-Link the only one which is connected to your PC?
    Which operating system do you use?


    Best regards

  • Can't change usb address of JLINK ARM V8

    At the time of trying to change the usb address on the jlink it was the only jlink/jtrace on the system. I have another jlink (v5.2 kickstart from IAR) and a jtrace (v1.0 IAR) and both of these I can change the address on without any problem but the jlink(v8 IAR) I haven't been able to change the address on. So out of 3 units I can't change the address on only one of them. This is something that I can work around for now but in the future it could cause me problems so I would like to get this fixed if possible.

    I am using Windows XP SP3 with jlink.exe version 4.22a.

    This only seems to be the version 8 jlink from IAR that I can't change the address on. When I first plugged it in jlink.exe wanted to update the firmware in the unit and I allowed it to do so.

  • Hello cknight,

    We have found the problem when trying to change the USB address via J-Link commander.
    It will be fixed in the next beta version (V4.23a).

    But in general, we recommend to use the J-Link configurator (see attached screenshot) to change the J-Link enumeration type.
    The configurator comes with the J-Link software and documentation package.
    A detailed description how to use the J-Link configurator, can be found in UM08001, chapter "Setup", section "J-Link configurator".

    The bug in the J-Link commander regarding the "usbaddr" command does not effect the functionality of the J-Link configurator.
    So, until the new version is going to be released, you can already use the J-Link configurator to configure your J-Links for USB address 0 - 3


    Best regards
