  • [SOLVED] How do I switch between Jlink and Jlink_SPI interface when using only a single Jlink Ultra+

    Hi,

    I am looking for a solution to allow a single Jlink Ultra+ to be able to switch between JTAG and SPI on a PCBA. Hope somebody can help me. Thanks in advance.

    Currently, I have a SPI flash and a R9A uC on the same board. I am using a single Jlink to program the SPI directly as well as to issue 'JTAGLOAD' commands to the R9A. Both are donw through command line because I need to automate the functions. I have realised that if I were to perform JTAGLOAD commands first, followed by SPI programming, Jlink will prompt a message as attached. If I click 'Yes', the SPI programming will proceed without issue. Only thing is this will cause a need for operator intevention, which is not desired.

    If I were to do the SPI programming followed by the JTAGLOAD commands, the commands will fail without any prompt for switch.

    So I wonder if there is any command (line) that I can use to somehow switch between the 2 interfaces?

    Thanks lots for your valuable solutions.

    Benedict

  • Hello,

    Thank you for your inquiry.
    We currently do not offer a software tool that could do both automatically.
    But such a setup sounds like a perfect fit for our J-Link SDK.
    With it you can create your own little application that fits your needs perfectly.
    More information can be found here:

    Best regards,
