    Am i doing something wrong ? Or do i just have to wait for a new Software Release ?

    I'am working with Ubuntu 9.10.

    Kind regards,

  • No, and as you see, no answer from Segger ;(

    The Linux Beta Software seems to be only a marketing trick to get more customer.

    You know, that you can work with OpenOCD 0.4.0 with the JLink EDU ? That works ok on Linux, but on Windows it's a nightmare with this paranoid OpenSource Guys and their decision not to allow to distribute a binary version of OpenOCD with the closed-source USB Driver. On Linux it's easy to compile your own version, but on Windows it's not so easy.
    Another bad point in OpenOCD is the fact, that the syntax and configuration options change very heavy from version to version and with each new version you start from scratch.

    My Idea was, to work in both worlds with the same hardware and software and configuration files. Bad Idea....

  • Hi all,

    your are right, there was a problem with the "loadbin" command
    in the previous version of the J-Link software for Linux.
    We have just released a new version in which this problem is fixed:
