  • [SOLVED] No connect to target after update

    After using the update from within CCS and updating from JLink plugin 6.32.0.0 to 6.34.3.0 the connection to my TM4C1294 CortexM4 stops working - I'm using the SWD mode. I tried to revert to the previous version, but failed with the message, that the repository download.segger.com/J-Link/JLink_TI_CCS_plugin_unified/ doesn't contain a version 6.32.0.0 - rough luck! :cursing:
    Please advice what to do?
  • Hello,

    Thank you for your inquiry.
    Such an issue is not known to us.
    Could you try installing the latest J-Link release software and update the J-Link DLL manually in the CCS install folder?
    Does that solve the issue?
    If not, could you provide a J-Link commander screenshot of the connect sequence?
    wiki.segger.com/J-Link_cannot_…ty_using_J-Link_Commander
    Could you provide a J-Link log of the failed session?

  • Nino, thanks for Your reply,
    I suppose, I've installed all the latest J-Link software. The J-Link commander finds my JLink, but an error is reported:

    Any hint how to cure appreciated very much. Klaus-Michael
  • Hello,

    Thank you for providing the logs.
    The J-Link you are using is to old and does not support Cortex-M4 debugging.
    So it should never have worked in the first place. If it did it was by accident.
    More information about each J-Link HW versions features can be found here: wiki.segger.com/Software_and_Hardware_Features_Overview
    As the J-Link V7 is out of maintenance and support for years now we recommend making use of our trade-in program: segger.com/purchase/trade-in-program/

  • Nino, thanks a lot. As this JLink did the job so far, I didn't notice, that it was not supposed to work with a M4 CPU.
    I've just contacted the sales department to trade in that old JLink of mine.
    But all this will at least cost me several days, that I'm not able to work on my hardware design. I have a backup of my Linux system and will try to revert it to the 6.32.0.0 version. Much easier and less effort would be, Segger could put back the old version into the repository download.segger.com/J-Link/JLink_TI_CCS_plugin_unified/ ??? Is that possible?

    Regards too from Klaus-Michael
  • Folks,
    finally, I tried out a newer Version JLink Plus Hardware V9 and ... found the same failures.

    Well, after a lot of head shaking, I noticed another difference except the JLink driver update from 6.32 to 6.34 in my workbench setup. The Cortex M4 was clocked with another frequency that was lower than the SWD debugger clock.
    That caused the strange behavior. Sometimes the JLink managed to connect, sometimes not. In that case the " ****** Error: Could not find core in Coresight setup " appeared.
    When the M4 is clocked fast enough, everything works as before - even my old Hardware V7 JLink does the job again.

  • Hello Klaus-Michael,

    Great to hear that you are up and running again.
    For clarification what was causing the lower clock? Was it an application running already in the target?
    If you are looking for an alternative IDE we suggest using Embedded Studio: segger.com/products/development-tools/embedded-studio/
    Alternatively if you want to keep using CSS we recommend using Ozone as the debug tool for best J-Link compatibility: segger.com/products/development-tools/ozone-j-link-debugger/
