Debug Logs for nRF52832

[SAISUSMITH PALADUGU]

Hi Nordic,

We are having a Finger Wearable Unit(FWU) based on nRF52832.We are using JLINK Base Debugger to debug the FWU.We are able to debug and get the debug logs when the FWU is on desk.But when the FWU is worn on the finger we are not able to get debug logs as there is no connection from debugger to the device(FWU).

Is there any provision to debug our device(FWU) wirelessly and get debug logs from the processor when the device(FWU) is worn on the finger???

Could you please help me out on this???

Thanks and Regards,

Susmith

You would have to implement that yourself.

IMO/IME, it would be easier & more reliable to just equip your test units with a debug connection...

EDIT

For example, this was for a small wearable product - the board is about an inch long

Could you please elaborate the above statement???

See the picture!

Trying to send debug over the wireless link means that you will have to do a lot of work yourself to:

1. create a suitable protocol
2. implement it on your wearable device
3. implement it on your host/development system.

And how will you debug your debug interface?

If you are having problems with the wireless link, and/or the problem(s) you're trying to debug disrupts the wireless link, then that is also going to disrupt your debug facility!
