  • [ABANDONED] JLinkExe segfaults on Raspberry Pi (ARM)

    In a bash script on Ubuntu x86_64, I have no problem doing:

    Source Code

    1. (JLinkExe -if swd -device nrf52 -AutoConnect 1 -speed 4000 </dev/null >/dev/null &)
    3. telnet localhost 19021
    But on a Raspberry Pi it crashes when stdin is set to /dev/null:

  • Hello,

    Thank you for your inquiry.
    If I understand you correctly you are trying to use J-Link software on ARM Linux on a Raspberry PI, is that correct?
    Did you install the ARM version of J-Link software (see attached picture)?

    Best regards,

  • Yes, I used the tar.gz package for ARM. Perhaps, J-Link should include the architecture nomenclature [[armv71]] in the startup output:

    It has been used successfully on all our Pi's. The bug I've run into is redirecting standard input from /dev/null, "</dev/null". Which does work properly on an x86 system (using the appropriate .deb) package.
