  • [SOLVED] Bug in JLink from V6.88b - ?? regarding RX65N

    Hi,

    I would be grateful if you could help me please with the following issue.

    If I start JLink with


    Shell-Script

    1. JLink -nogui 1 -if JTAG -speed 4000 -device R5F565NE -jtagconf -1,-1 -autoconnect 1 -jtagconf -1,-1 -autoconnect 1



    and entering a single 'erase' leads to following error:

    Shell-Script

    1. J-Link>erase
    2. Without any give address range, Erase Chip will be executed
    3. Erasing device...
    4. Comparing flash [100%] Done.
    5. Erasing flash [000%]
    6. ****** Error: Timeout while erasing sectors, core does not stop.!

    On Windows I got this sometimes working very randomly.
    The Version is SEGGER J-Link Commander V6.88c (Compiled Dec 4 2020 18:07:30)
    On Linux with JLinkExe I always get that error message. (V6.94A, Jan 14 2021)
    Even adding a extra device command or adding a Commanderscript like described here segger.com/products/debug-prob…vices/renesas-rx-support/ doesn't solve it.


    Furthermore if I want to select the erase range manually, JLink doesn't accept my input:

    Shell-Script

    1. J-Link>erase 0xFFE00000, 0xFFFFFFFF
    2. Erasing selected range...
    3. J-Link: Flash download:
    4. No Flash bank within given address range 0xFFE00000, 0xFFFFFFFF
    5. Erasing done.
    I also tried lots of other variatons, always the same message.


    Additionally I want so say that I can exclude that it's a hardware issue.
    I can program the microcontroller reliable with the Segger-plugin of e2Studio.

  • I just made another try to erase a specified area.

    I got some addresses that JLink accepts. But entering

    J-Link>erase 0xFFFF000 0xFFFFFFFF

    leads to another error:

    ****** Error: Failed to erase sectors 0 @ address 0xFE7F5D00 (unspecified error)
    ERROR: Erase returned with error code -5.

    Many thanks in advance for your support!

  • I figured oput that the problem belongs to a bug in Jlink.
    With V6.88a and earlier versions all is working fine.
    V6.88b is the first Version where is it not possible any longer to program/erase a RX65N device.
    Even the current versions like V6.94b and V6.96b beta are not working for this device.

  • Hi,
    Update:

    We found the source of the issue and fixed it.
    The fix is part of the latest release (V6.96) of the J-Link Software Pack:
