  • [SOLVED] J-Link EDU Jetson TX1 support

    Hello,

    I am currently looking for an affordable JTAG debugger to debug some open source software on my Jetson TX1. The Jetson TX1 uses Cortex A57 and Cortex A53 cores in a BIG.little architecture. I was wondering if the J-Link EDU supports this, but I'm having a hard time figuring it out. On the overview of supported CPUs page[0], the A53 is listed as supported, but the A57 is missing. On the other hand, the Segger Wiki[1] seems to mention that the A57 is supported since "Hardware Version 10". So, is the Jetson TX1 supported by the J-Link EDU?

  • Hello,

    Thank you for your inquiry.
    Generic support for A53 and A57 has been added to our latest J-Link probes including the J-Link Edu. However due to lack of hardware and documentation from silicon vendors only the NXP S32V232 has actually been tested:
    segger.com/downloads/supported-devices.php
    Others might work but we can't issue a guarantee at this point. In some cases special handlings might be needed for connection or powering up cores etc.
    However any of these steps would be achievable using our JLinkScript interface.
    More information can be found int he J-Link user guide Um08001.

    Best regards,
    Nino
