What would it take to have an arm version of nrfjprog?

[Bill Rees]

Though there are a few people asking about arm versions of the nrfjprog utility I'd like to know what would be necessary to either have Nordic build one or allow one of us to build it?

Thanks Bill Rees

What it would take is Segger to release a version of their JLink SDK for ARM so the code could be linked on an ARM device. I just asked them if they do (they didn't last time I checked).

Once that's available it should be pretty simple for Nordic to compile nrfjprog for RaPi if they wish.

You can't build it yourself, it requires the JLinkSDK which is a Segger licensed product, and a fairy costly one at that.

well Segger replied and there is a version of the JLink SDK for ARM. So unless I've misunderstood how nrfjrprog is built, and I don't think so, Nordic should be able to compile a version for RaPi.

That doesn't mean they are going to, RaPi is a bit fragmented and I could understand if releasing one version means a ton of support going forward for what's currently a few users.
