Segger IDE only works with Segger products. You can use the IDAP-Link with other IDE like CorssWorks, KEIL, Elcipse (OpnOCD), etc... Just select CMSIS-DAP as jtag interface.

Hi Nick,

Did you use a J-Link programmer or an IDAP-Link to debug your custom board? I have IDAP Link but not sure how to use it with Segger IDE.

Sincerely,

Joseph

Ok, yeah I think i'll stay with the SEGGER IDE for now.

Just tried the Segger studio IDE. It looks a lot like a strip down version of CrossWorks.

Ok, thanks a lot.

I will probably go for the J-link EDU with a 6-pin needle adapter.

To use 1.8V with the DK, the DK has to have a level shifter between your board and the DK jlink. I am not sure it has it. You'll need to lookup the schematic.

The Segger IDE can be used with the jlink onboard of the DK.

Ah, good to know. So if I want to debug a custom board at 1.8V using the Segger IDE I would have to purchase a j-link programmer?

Sorry for not being clear enough. I want to know if it's possible to debug a custom nrf52832 board with the nRF52840 DK board at 1.8V using SWD.

The Segger IDE is locked to JLink only.

What do you want to know about the nRF52840 DK ?

Thanks for the answer,

From the IDAP link:

"It is just plug & play with most IDE such as Keil, CrosWorks, Eclipse, etc.. Works instantly, no driver to install"

Does it also work with SEGGER ES IDE ?

Do you maybe know about the feasibility with the nRF 528420 DK?

Best,

Nick

There is also a cheaper alternative to the jlink. It's the IDAP-Link a CMSIS-DAP JTag. It has full support for programming the nRF5x at voltage from 1.75V-3.6V. A flashing command line utility that can flash Softdevice + Firmware + DFU without requiring to mergehex.
