Try to use the gdb debugger option. It seems to work thereby highlighting the problem to be related to the flashing process

Hi @hkn, I'm still getting load failed message after forcing symlink, Should I create another question with strace nrfjprog -i output?

Hi,

I was able to replicate this scenario at my end as well. It seems that the .deb package from segger does not force the symlink to be updated.

I had the version v5.10.21, and installed v5.12.7. My symlink points to the older version (which is non-existing):

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 april 20 13:07 /usr/lib/libjlinkarm.so -> /opt/SEGGER/JLink/libjlinkarm.so.5.10.2

As a temporary workaround, you can force the symlink:

sudo ln -fs /opt/SEGGER/<rest_of_path>/libjlinkarm.so /usr/lib/libjlinkarm.so

I will report this back to our nrfjprog team, so that they can inform SEGGER directly.

If you still have issues with nrfjprog throwing an error, please run:

strace nrfjprog -i

And post the output of this.

Cheers, Håkon

A symlink seems to be more appropos, as this is usually what is done anyways
