Debugging multiple Dev Kits in same PC

[EAn]

Hello DevZone community!

I'm having trouble debugging more than one board at the same time in a Linux development environment.

For a single board, I can debug either using the debug feature withing SES, or I can use a combination of JLinkExe + JLinkRTTClient in the terminal.

However, in none of these instances can I designate the target which I want to debug. Therefore, the question arises:

1 - Can we select the target if we have more than one Nordic Development kit (PCA10056 in this case) or JLink?

2 - Can we debug more than one of these boards simultaneously in the same computer? Either using two JLinkRTTClients or two SESs ....

Thank you very much for your support!

Cheers,

On Windows, when there's more than 1 JLink connected, it shows you a list of their serial numbers and you have to pick one.

This is a Segger thing - not specific to Nordic - so you may be better asking on the Segger forum.

If you do cross-post, be sure to give links in both places.

Thank you awneil. I rarelly use Windows, althought I have a dual boot machine. Most of the development is done on Linux. In Linux I can also see a list of the serial numbers. But I can't choose or pick one in the applications I mentioned in my original post.

If it can show you the list, but not let you choose one, then that's a Segger issue.

Hi

As Andrew says, if you are able to see this list in SEGGER, but not able to choose a device from it, you should contact the SEGGER support team, as there is nothing we can do about this.

Best regards,

Thank you Simonr . I asked here because I'm debugging a nordic device and I would think that someone would already have done this before me. So there should be knowledge in this dev. community about how one could debug multiple devices in the same computer. It surprises me no one has manifested knowledge of how to do this in Linux. Thank you.
