j-link issue if used with Nordic EK j-link OB

I wish to inform Nordic about this issue with jlink OB used on EK boards when used in OS X environment.

J-link OB returns " Can not connect to J-Link via USB." and a CDC disabling is due to establish a connection.

But, if I use j-link Lite Cortex M there are no problems, the connection is ready without disabling CDC.

All firmwares are updated.

Not fatal but annoying .

  • Tried with 3 EK boards, 2 EK version V1.0, one version V2.2 and a Jlink LITE Cortex-M Rev. 8.1

    Connect EK to USB, then launch, in terminal, jlinkexe command. It results in a message from J-Link Commander :

    SEGGER J-Link Commander V4.80h ('?' for help)
    Compiled Feb 28 2014 21:56:56
    Can not connect to J-Link via USB.
    

    To connect properly CDC disable is needed (use Seggere CDCDisable.term)

    Launch it.

    Then reconnect EK board.

    Run jlinkexe command.

    Now connection is ok, found swd-dp, found Cortex-M0.

    Enable CDC to return in previous situation.

    Connect EK, ...no device found.

    Connect J-LINK LITE, all OK.
