  • [SOLVED] Cannot connect, need a hint on what the errors tell me

    Hello everyone,

    I have a hardware prototype with an ATMEL ATSAMV71Q21 that has ... gone through rough times (short circuit between core and IO voltage), meaning the device may have taken physical damage.
    The board errors were fixed at this point, voltages, current draw and chip temperature are fine by now. I tried to connect to the Device using a JLINK and run into the following results:

    SWD:

    Cannot connect to target.


    The JLINK seems to find something (SW-DP with 2 IDs ... are those part of the ATSAM?).
    Does this imply that the device is (not) damaged or does this not help on determining the ICs state?
    Assuming the chip is OK, what would the results tell me?

    Thank you very much,
    Lars
  • Hello Lars,

    Thank you for your inquiry.
    It seems that J-Link can't access the device properly.
    Attached is a working SWD connection to a SAMV71 XPlained Ultra eval board. Unfortunately it does not have JTAG so I could not test that.
    Do you have such an eval board? We recommend using it as reference and compare the signal quality from J-Link to target device.
    To make sure the J-Link has not been damaged does connection work to another target device with J-Link?
    Could you provide a J-Link log of a failed session?
