  • [SOLVED] J-Link, 5V Supply

    Hello,



    I'm unsure, I already sent one J-Link back as the 5V Supply seems dead, it does not supply 5V.



    I try to power an STM32F4 Discovery with it and double-double-checked the wiring already.



    I expected that there would be 5V available when I plug in the J-Link (measured between pin 4 and pin 19).



    I don't think the wiring is incorrect as when I externally power the Discovery board I can read a valid VTref on pin 1:

    Connecting to J-Link via USB...O.K.

    Hardware version: V9.40

    S/N: 269402916

    OEM: SEGGER-EDU

    VTref = 2.958V





    Type "connect" to establish a target connection, '?' for help



    On the other hand, I can't connect to the device, I still need to clarify this.



    I use J-Link on Linux, not sure if this may be related to the issue.





    Can anybody explain if my understanding is incorrect?





    Thanks for any hints,

    Torsten
  • Hi Thorsten,

    The power supply via pin 19 is disabled by default and needs to be enabled manually. This can be done using the "power on" or the "power on perm" command. For further information regarding this, please refer to the J-Link User Manual (UM08001), chapter 15.1.1.3 Target power supply: segger.com/downloads/jlink#Documentation

    Best regards
    Erik
