  • [SOLVED] Issue about 'old firmware'

    I'm using J-link for a RISC-V application, when the commander connects to the target, it prompts some strange hint 'RISC-V: The connected J-Link (S/N 851005533) uses an old firmware module V1 with known problems / limitations.' but the firmware is up-to-date, please help me know what it means and what limitations are they?
    Log when connecting to target:

  • Hi,
    You can look them up in the release notes.
    You can search for the term: "RISC-V: Firmware module version" for differences and compare them.

    Please note that the list will grow further with time, as features are constantly added and issues constantly resolved.

    Best regards,
    Fabian
