I use a bunch of J-Links and an EDU Version too. None of them are not supported by W11. All running without any issues since a decate or longer.
If you get an yellow Apostroph in windows, this can be an issue with your USB-Cable or USB port. The support software for the j-Link adapters are very reliable and they works rock solid.
Most of the case the cabling is the source of issues. Check out if the USB current is in range. Is the USB socket in proper condition?
Are u able to recharge your smartphone on that port? Did you have replaced the usb cable by an other one?

One sentence - i recommend to use a port isolator to secure the usb port of your computer. An opto isolator between the Board and the J-Link could also be do a good job. The cheap way is to galvanic decouple the usb interface. It's cheaper that a new mainboard of your computer...

The J-Link BASE works for sure but i can recomment to use a faster model like J-Link Ultra+. This is not only much faster; you get more control of the entire debug process. is that required - no, isn't it, but the works is getting a lot of easier and faster.

Segger offers a compare sheet of all available J-link Modells. Look here and compare the values: SEGGER J-Link debug probes

BTW:
I had moved from the basic to the J-Link Pro model to program und debug faster MCU's. Not just the upload if the code is much faster. The best option would be the outstanding j-trace model, but this is very special and the price too.

The whole thing is described here:
kb.segger.com/Set_external_XBF_font_(Sample)
But don`t use the
GUI_XBF_TYPE_PROP_AA4_EXT constant for generating the font. It doesn´t work with standard windows fonts. Use GUI_XBF_TYPE_PROP_EXT instead. I found this with try & error.
Good luck

The link is emty, but thank's alot for that info about the GUI_XBF_TYPE_PROP_EXT for convered windows font sets. I never had used the windows fonts, but i plan to do this. There are many free fonts are available. Good to know.
Thanks again..

Hello,

I think this question goes beyond the scope of emWin like that. It is more about making appropriate drivers which will work with external flash (storing, reading data...) and making options in your linker files for placing data at corresponding sections within the flash. Since you use LPC you better should contact NXP forum.

That way works - i had done this on a STM32F746 and Flash. The way is not different from protected bootloader.
You have to build a structure that contains pointer to the memory start of every font (or others) your store into the flash. The start of the structure can be stored by the linker on a fixed memory address. In the program code, you point with teh strutre to the start address of the flash memory where the structure stores.
I had seen a different methode, where every object like a font, Picture or ever, stored in an ROM, marked by a unique lable at the start address. Inthe programm memory , a routine search the relevant memory range the symboles and store the address into a structure pointer. This methode is flexible, but need startup time to find all symbols. A varius version of them i had used to find symbols in a protected bios to find the init entry point of API structures for upcalls.
Some things have to be more care like IRQ or DMA processes. I had enought memory and copy the used objects into the RAM. For large objects like pictures or databases, it's required to declare the flash memory as Read-Only in the linker file / ld-file or memory-map; depended on the toolchain you prefere. That's important that you do this exact. In the GNU toolchain, that's a worse job. I hate ld-scripts, even they are powerfull. In SES, that's a quite easy job. Hope this will helps you to find a solution for you.

BTW: I had found an example for the STM32F746Disco and the STm32H747 Disco board. ST distribute a demonstration how flexible and powerfull the both MCU and Boards are. This are available from ST, and they load up every static objects into the external QSPI Flash and load them at startup. The source is free and it could be easy mirated into SES by using an extern toolchain Build.
The source is not pretty writen like them from Segger. But for just an example and inspiration that's could be helpfull.
Good luck

This and some other reasons had decide me to left suse since suse3 to ubuntu LTS. I miss YAST, but i got a more compatible and faster system. A good point to learn using other and more common tools to setup a linux system.
