  • [SOLVED] Can't Program Binary into the micro-controller

    Hello Everyone
    I am working on a project using micro-controller MKE15Z and using J-Link Plus.
    Today when I tried to program the binaries using J-Flash, I get some programming error, I recently updated to version 7.58b and 7.58c of the J-Link tool. (Earlier everything was working fine, I don't know why it is not working maybe due to version change, I am not sure)
    My project is divided into two parts, configuration and firmware and both are the part of micro-controller's flash, with IAR I am not able to program the configuration (it's starting address is different).
    But when I used J-Flash two flash both binaries, I get the following error message.

    As per the above logs I can't even program anything.
    I read on internet and found some links where the steps on unlock the micro is given, and I tried that also.
    Below are the unlocking logs from J-Link Commander.

    Even after this nothing works.
    Then I used another laptop with some older version of J-Flash software and it works well, and then I tried on the same computer and it doesn't work.
    Can someone please try to help me, what can be the issue?

    Edited:
    Another update from my side, I just downgraded the version number of J-Flash software on the same laptop and it works fine. I don't know what exactly gone wrong with the newer version of J-Flash software or there is something else.

  • Hi,
    Thank you for your inquiry.


    Could you please send us a J-Link log file? How to enable:

    Could you please tell us which is the last version this is working with?

    Best regards

  • Hi,
    Thanks for your reply, but since this is a very old topic, I don't have much information because the problem is no more reproducible on my laptop.
    Last time I fixed the issue with version 6.86f, and at the moment I am using v7.60b and I don't have any issues.
    If in future I faced the same issue again, I will take the logs as mentioned by you in the post. thanks

  • Hi,
    Good to hear that you are up and running again.
