SWD connection status

[Daniel Reisfeld]

Hi,

I would like to generate messages based on whether the nrf52840 SWD is connected (through j-link and Segger Embedded Studio).

Is there a way to query this?

Thanks,

Daniel

The usual way is to check the DEBUGEN bit in DHCSR (the Debug Halting Control and Status Register)

Note that this will not tell you the type of debug probe (eg, JLink), nor the IDE (eg, SES).

EDIT

Above link is for Cortex-M3.
