  • J-Flash error

    Hi I am trying to use J-Flash with an AT91SAM7S256 via USB/JLink.

    Trying to use the command "Read Back", from a connected device causes the error listed below.

    This error is apparent with version V379z02, V378d, but version V374m works OK.

    Edit: v374m works if initial JTAG speed is 10KHz, the other versions do not. this was the main project difference between the versions that I noticed.


    - 1024 sectors, 1 range, 0x100000 - 0x13FFFF
    - ERROR: Write memory error @ address 0x00200000, word access: Memory access timeout.

  • Hello simonb,

    unfortunately we can not reproduce the problem.
    We have tested the latest beta version (V379z02)
    and the latest release version (V378d) without any problems.
    Hardware for testing:
    Atmel AT91SAM7S256-EK
    Olimex SAM7P256

    The following information may be useful in order to find the source of the problem:
    1) Do you use an eval board or a custom hardware?
    2) Which J-Link hardware version do you use?
    3) Could you please set the J-Flash log level to "All messages" and post the complete J-Flash log output?
    The log level can be changed at Options->Global Settings->General log level

    If you use a custom hardware the PLL settings could be the problem.

    Best regards,

    Alex

  • Hi Alex.

    This is our own custom hardware.

    The J-Link device is the Atmel badged one, SAM-ICE hw v5.2

    I have cut and pasted the log data below, (the website upload function does not support .txt or .log files.

    Best Regards,

    SimonB.

  • Hi SimonB,

    have you tried the sample project for the AT91SAM7S256 delivered with J-Flash?
    If no: Could you please try out the sample project and test if it works with your board?

    Best regards,
    Alex
