  • [SOLVED] JLinkDevices folder is not deep searched on Linux

    The wiki page (J-Link Device Support Kit - SEGGER Wiki) says "Customers may freely structure the folder into subfolders with a maximum depth of 4"
    This feature works fine on Windows. For example, the following structure works:

    Source Code

    1. Roaming
    2. - SEGGER
    3. - JLinkDevices
    4. - folder1
    5. - folder2
    6. - devices.xml
    However, such a structure doesn't work on Linux:

    Source Code

    1. .config
    2. - SEGGER
    3. - JLinkDevices
    4. - folder1
    5. - folder2
    6. - devices.xml
    Whereas this does work:


    Source Code

    1. .config
    2. - SEGGER
    3. - JLinkDevices
    4. - devices.xml
    It looks like the Linux version is missing this search depth feature, so it only looks for XML files at the JLinkDevices directory.


    I'm using V7.84b.

  • Hi,

    Sorry for the late reply.
    I cannot confirm this. Just tested this under Linux Mint and the deep search is working correctly, as far as I can see:

  • Hi,

    I have something to add:
    While I do not see how it could happen that directories were not deep searched,
    I could identify a bug that caused directories above $HOME/.config/SEGGER/JLinkDevices were also searched by accident.
    This will be fixed in V7.86b which is going to be released later today.
    Maybe worth a try to check if that solves the issue you are seeing as well.
