  • "Acces Denied" Error message on JFlashARM.ini

    I use JFlashArm.exe to program MKL15Z128xxx4 devices with a J-Link Pro.
    Until now, i used the gui-mode and everything works fine.

    But now i wanted to try the command line mode and i get an acces denied
    error on the file "JFlashARM.ini". A screenshot of the error message is
    attached.


    I use the following content in a batch-file:

    Source Code

    1. JFlashARM.exe -openprjMKL15Z128xxx4-Release.jflash -open..\Debug\kmp.hex -auto -startapp -exit
    2. IF ERRORLEVEL 1 goto ERROR
    3. goto END
    4. :ERROR
    5. ECHO J-Flash ARM: Error!
    6. pause
    7. :END


    If i use the gui mode, i can not find a ini-file with that name in the stated directory. Is this file really used/created/needed ?

    What can i do to avoid the access to this ini-file?

    Regars,
    Martin

  • Hi Martin,

    Sounds strange.
    Usually, J-Flash should have the same rights when started in GUI mode as when
    started in batch mode (which is GUI mode that executes commands automatically).
    So I would expect this problem to come up either always or never, independent from the mode (GUI, batch).

    JFlashARM.ini:
    This file is used to store some settings of J-Flash, like: What file has been recently opened.

    As a test: Could you please try moving
    JFlashARM.exe
    JLinkARM.dll
    ETC folder
    to a folder in which you definitely have write-rights?
    Do you still see this problem?


    Best regards

  • Hi Alex,

    sorry for the late response. I'm very busy at the moment. Thanks for the help.

    I copied the files you mentioned to my project directory. Now everything works as expected. The "JFlashARM.ini" was generated and the flash programming succeded.

    But if i try to start the JFlashARM.exe from it's default location ("C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGGER\JLinkARM_V472a"), via the PATH variable, it still terminates immediatly (after throwing the error message) without programming the flash.
    It seems, that the "JFlashARM.ini" is only created in Non-GUI mode?

    Operating System is Windows 7 64bit, if that helps.

    Now i have this workaround. But it still seems strange, that the behaviour of JFlashArm.exe is dependant of the Mode (GUI / Non-GUI).

    Any other info you need to know for this issue?

    Regards, Martin

  • Hi Martin,

    We would like to reproduce the problem here.
    Are you working with standard user rights or admin rights when this problem appears?
