  • [SOLVED] Double Echo in JLinkRTTClient

    With recent versions of JLinkRTTClient every keyboard input appears doubled. With an older version of the software (6.18d) I do not see this issue. I am seeing this when using RTT with several different SDKs (Nordic nrf5 v12, v15, and zephyr). The behavior is the same with RTT Client + JLinkGDBServer + GDB or JLinkExe + RTT Client. Is there a way to revert to the old behavior without downgrading?
  • Hello,

    Thank you for your inquiry.
    Such an issue is not known to us.
    We tried to reproduce the behaviour using an RTT sample in Embedded Studio + RTTClient V6.40 and there was no double echo, see image attached.
    Which J-Link software version are you using?
    Could you send a screenshot that shows the issue you are seeing?
    What are the steps to reproduce the behaviour?

    Best regards,
    Nino

  • For the following, I'm using: J-Link tools V6.41a on Ubuntu 18.04

    I have reproduced in multiple configurations:
    Using a Nordic PCA10040 (nrf52832 dev board) with on-board J-Link, I can erase, start JLinkExe, start JLinkRTTClient, and any input is echoed twice.

    More illuminating, if I flash an example from the Nordic nrf sdk based on zephyr, the doubling is present, however command inputs are received correctly.


    I have also seen this with the most recent non-beta 6.40 version.
