  • [SOLVED] Issue when creating cfg/dat file with J-Flash - Could not save file Device.pex

    I'm using the newest J-Flash Software V7.84b (but this behavior I also can see on e.g. 6.80d)
    In case of saving the cfg file with the following name I get an error:
    TEST_TEST_V1.0.3-rc.4_BL_V1.0.1-rc.2.cfg

    "Could not save file [C:\Users...\TEST_TEST_V1.0.3-rc.4_BL_V1.0.1-rc\Device.pex] Path not found!"

    In case of using underlined instead of dots everything is ok:
    TEST_TEST_V1_0_3-rc_4_BL_V1_0_1-rc_2.cfg

    It seems that there is a problem with path / dots / ...

    Thank you in advance.
  • Hi,
    I can confirm that J-Flash is able to save data files with dots and in paths/folders containing dots.
    We are not able to recreate this issue.

    However, it seems that the two paths that you mention are not comparable:
    1) C:\Users...\TEST_TEST_V1.0.3-rc.4_BL_V1.0.1-rc\Device.pex
    2) TEST_TEST_V1_0_3-rc_4_BL_V1_0_1-rc_2.cfg

    Could you please provide step-by-step instructions explaining how to
    reproduce this issue?

  • Hi Fabian,

    here is the step by step procedure, hopefully you can reproduce it on your side (done with V7.84.b).

    The *.jflash file is located here:
    "C:\P4\flasher_test\test\REL_V2.0.3-rc.4\hex\Segger Flasher\STM32L071RB.jflash"

    The data file is located in the parent folder:
    "C:\P4\flasher_test\test\REL_V2.0.3-rc.4\hex\V2.0.3-rc.4_BL_V1.0.1-rc.2.hex"

    By trying to save the config-file via "File->Save Config Flasher File" to the following folder:
    "C:\P4\flasher_test\test\REL_V2.0.3-rc.4\hex\Segger Flasher\V2.0.3-rc.4_BL_V1.0.1-rc.2.cfg"

    I'm getting this Error:
    "Could not save file [C:\P4\flasher_test\test\REL_V2.0.3-rc.4\hex\Segger Flasher\V2.03-rc.4_BL_V1.0.1-rc\Device.pex] Path not found"

  • Hi Marco,
    we were able to recreate the issue and fixed it internally.

    A fix will be part of the next J-Link Software version, planned for some time next week.

    Thank you for making this issue known to us.
    We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.
