I recently updated to jlink tools version 2.46g, and RTT from both JLinkExe and JLinkGDBServer appears not to work at all.
My specs:
- JLink tool version: 2.46g
- OS: Linux, Ubuntu 18.04
- JLink Adapter: JLink Plus compact
- Firmware: J-Link V10 compiled Jun 14 2019 19:25:26
- Hardware version: V10.10
- MCU: nrf52832_xxaa
- SEGGER_RTT runtime version (from SEGGER_RTT.h): 6849
- This is the version bundled with the NRF SDK (version 14.2.0)
When I start JLinkExe, it runs and connects successfully:
Code
$ JLinkExe -if swd -speed auto -device nrf52 -autoconnect 1

However, I cannot attach via JLinkRTTClient or by using telnet directly:

(it hangs here as long as I'll let it)
Code
$ telnet localhost:19021
telnet: could not resolve localhost:19021/telnet: Name or service not known
With my MCU running identical firmware, and the same JLink, I can successfully get RTT output through Ozone (v2.62e).
I've not yet tried downgrading my JLink tools, but I will shortly to see if I can find the exact version this regression was introduced in.
