J link gdb server problem

Hello guys,
I try to load my program on my ECU using j link but it says that :


WARNING: CPU could not be halted
ERROR: Could not connect to target.
Target connection failed. GDBServer will be closed...Restoring target state and closing J-Link connection...
Shutting down...
Could not connect to target.
Please check power, connection and settings.

but i used the same configuration with a discovery and it works (I've upgraded the st link on the discovery to a j link).
and thank you for your time

Hi,

could you please give J-Link Commander a try?
J-Link commander is part of the J-Link software package, which is available free of charge here .

  • Start J-Link Commander (jlink.exe)
  • Type "connect" in order to start a debug session
  • Type in the target device name if asked (Or type "?" for a target selection Dialog)
  • Choose the correct target interface (JTAG/SWD/etc..)
  • Use a valid speed (Default: 4000kHz, try 100-500 if default does not work)
  • [JTAG only]JTAG conf can be default(most of the times)
  • You should now be successfully connected.
If anything fails, could you please post a screenshot of the complete session?

What target device do you use?


Best regards,
Niklas

Hi,


Version V5.10u is quite old.
Could you please give the current version of the J-Link software & documentation pack a try?
Please provide us with a screenshot of the session if the issue persists.

Hi,


as mentioned before, could you please give the most recent J-Link software & documentation pack a try and provide us with a screenshot of J-Link Commander and log files if anything fails?

Log output can be enabled like as follows:
  • Open a connection to J-Link, e.g start J-Link Commander
  • In J-Link Control Panel: (Click the J-Link symbol located in the notification / tray area in order to open J-Link Control panel)
  • Open the tab "Settings"
  • Next to the field "Log file" check "Override" and click "..." in order to choose a log file path.

This is also described in UM8001 Chapter 5 "Working with J-Link and J-Trace", Section 5.7 "J-Link control panel" .
This will enable the logfile permantly, also for feature sessions, regardless which programm uses the J-link DLL.


Best regards,
Niklas
