  • J-Link GDB Server on Vista?

    I've recently been forced to upgrade to Windows Vista, but the J-Link device no longer works properly. I noticed on the website that the J-Link GDB server only supports Windows 2000/XP (I'm using version 3.74h). The driver is most likely not functioning properly because the J-Link GDB Server window shows "Target: Not Connected." Is there any way that I can get the driver to work properly, or is there a newer version that might work?

    When using Vista to connect to the J-Link via GDB, I currently receive the problem:

    arm-elf$gdb

    The target is assumed to be big endian
    Couldn't establish connection to remote target
    putpkt: write failed: Software caused connection abort.

    Is there any way to overcome this issue?

    Thanks,

  • Hi James,

    not only the latest Beta should work fine under Vista, but also the current Release.
    There are no known problems.
