J-Link embedded in a Energy Micro STK-3600 on OSX loses communications whenever new code is flashed

  • J-Link embedded in a Energy Micro STK-3600 on OSX loses communications whenever new code is flashed

    Hi,

    I am using OSX and v4.82 of the J-Link drivers and after each time I flash the target processor (I am using the STK-3600 to debug my own design), almost every time I lose communications and have to disconnect the STK-3600 for a minute or two and then reconnect.

    If I plug the same STK-3700 into a Windows machine, I do not have this issue.

    Here is an example where the code downloads, but the fails to start the CPU:

    If again unplug and replug after several minutes, it works again.

    I have used Apples "USB Prober" Dev tool and note that I have to wait until the device completely disappears from the "Bus Probe" before it will work again.

    This is extremely frustrating.

    I tried to find the J-Link Commander tool listed on the downloads, but I cannot find it for OSX, does it exist four OSX?

    Cheers

  • *** UPDATE ****

    The board is actually a STK-3700 not a STK-3600 from Energy Micro (aka SILabs)

    I have moved the STK-3700 onto a WIn7 machine and am able to remotely debug via JLinkGDBServer on the Win7 machine from Eclipse on OSX with my own boards USB connected back to OSX and using "SerialTools" from the Apple App store as a terminal emulator for the USB CDC serial port my device uses. This works fine (v4.78d of JLink)

    I have also removed Apple's "USB Prober" DevTool for debug and tracing too and tried again fully under OSX, but before every debug session I have to completely power off the STK-3700 and then try to debug and more often than not I have to do that multiple times before it will work.

    The only USB devices I have are the STK-3700 and my own board being debugged.

    This is extremely frustrating.

  • Hi,

    Sorry to hear that you are running into problems.
    We are not aware of such issues.
    Please note that there is no direct support from SEGGER for the Energy Micro on-board debug probe (which is J-Link compatible but maintained by Energy Micro, now SiLabs).
    Can you provide the ELF file you are trying to download and debug under OS X?
    We will then give it a try here.

    PS:
    This is extremely frustrating.

    Just repeating that this frustrating for you, is not productive in any way... We heard you the first time..

    Yes, of course:

  • Hi,

    Thanks for the feedback :)

    To try and simplify things I have created a smaller application that started to work the first time I download, but when I "Suspend" the application (Using Eclipse) it fails to read the memory and I can never re-flash or restart the debugging unless I unplug the STK3700 for a few minutes and then start all over. Note this is connecting to my own EFM32LG330F256 board.

    The same thing happens using the gdb CLI.

    If I then remove the STK3700 from my OSX machine and plug it into my Windows machine and I can remotely debug using the gdb server box, I can properly debug, change the code, ref lash, suspend, stop, single step, etc.

    When I reconnect back to my OSX machine, around 20% of the time I can initially load the code, it will sometimes run to the first time I suspend the code, then I cannot re-flash or restart the debug session.

    Here is a sample of the messages I get when connected to OSX:

  • Hi Douglas,

    We possibly found the issue. Cannot guarantee it, but the behavior looks quite the same but under other circumstances.
    Note: It *only* shows up with the OB on the Energy Micro board (which is not directly maintained & supported by SEGGER).
    It does not show up with any "full" J-Link.
    We are planning to have a new version by the end of this week.


    Best regards
    Alex

    Should be fixed in V4.84a: segger.com/jlink-software.html

  • Hi Again,

    I have downloaded v4.84a and the very first time I connect to my board it works perfectly and I download into flash and can debug, etc.

    BUT, when I stop, then update my code and re-download, I again get the time out errors.

    I have to then unplug the STK3700, wait a few minutes and plug back in and again, the first download and debug works, but no subsequent download to flash and debugs work.

    More than happy if you want me to test a version that perhaps generates more debug messages if that helps to diagnose the issue.

    Thanks for your help to date.

    Cheers
    Douglas

  • Hi Douglas,

    We need a reproduction scenario which allows us to reproduce the problem here in house on an eval board.
    So far, we are not aware of *any* problems with the current release.

  • Hi,

    Unfortunately, this has been introduced in V4.86, since support for some new commands, sent by GDB, has been implemented.
    This implementation was faulty.
    Corrected in V4.86a. Sorry for any inconveniences caused.
