SES 3.10f Monitor Mode Pop Up Box

[Garret]

I am running SES 3.10f on Linux. I have followed the Tutorials regarding Monitor Mode Debugging. I don't ever get the pop up box regarding the Monitor Mode debugging license. I am simply trying to get the nRF5x-MMD-led-btn-example to work. Everything loads, builds and debugs but when halted or breakpoint set, the switch/led stops functioning. The tutorial says that it will take less than 15 minutes to complete, I have been on this for 2 days with little progress. Any thoughts? Below is what appears in the output window.

J-Link V6.10i -- Monitor Mode missing license

The connected J-Link (S/N 682012230) does not have a valid license for the use of monitor mode debugging.

J-Link PLUS, ULTRA+ and PRO models come with a built-in license for monitor mode debugging.

Do you run a BLE example? If so, the BLE link will get disconnected when hitting a breakpoint, because the radio will be halted, and the radio will therefore not be able to transmit the necessary packets to keep the connection. The link will disconnected after a timeout given in the connect request (or a connection parameter update).

It shouldn't disconnect when halted in monitor mode. It worked for me in ses 2.20. so, it is because monitor mode is not working for him.

The license box never pops up. Therefore I can't choose to run monitor mode in the evaluation mode(ie without license) I got Keil up and running last night and it works fine. I hate Keil for a number of reasons. I can't believe Monior Mode made by Segger won't run on their own IDE.

Kristin, you need to read up on Monitor Mode Debugging. It is suppose to solve the exact problem you outline in you answer.
