  • JLinkRTTClient as stand-alone

    I'd like to run the JLinkRTTClient executable as part of a production test. I want to avoid starting a GDB server and client just to get the logging output.


    I see from the documentation that the viewer tool has the ability to run standalone. I can't see any options for the JLinkRTTClient though, and running it with --help or -help or -h doesn't help.


    Can this be done?
  • Hi,

    JLinkRTTClient cannot run standalone, but needs an open instance to the target.
    I want to avoid starting a GDB server and client just to get the logging output.

    Any connection will do, e.g starting J-Link Commander (jlink.exe / JLinkEXE).

    As an alternative, JLinkRTTViewer can be used standalone.


    Best regards,
    Niklas

  • Is there any way that JLink can reconnect to a target? For example, if I remove and reattach the debug probe? Currently I have to cycle the JLinkRTTViewer program each time my target power cycles. Using the 'Existing Session' option doesn't fix the issue either because then that program doesn't reconnect either.
