nRFgo can't see J-Link Lite CortexM board

[Bret Foreman]

I'm happy with the status of my app on the evaluation board and I'm ready to start downloading it to my target board. I plugged the Segger J-Link Lite CortexM board into one of my USB ports and the (Windows 7) driver seemed to load correctly. However, I can't see the J-Link board in the nRFgo tool. Is it required that I have my target device connected to the J-Link in order for nRFgo to see the J-Link? Note that nRFgo can see other Segger devices in the eval board and the BLE dongle.

I notice that Segger has a number of debug and management tools for download on their website but I hesitate to add any more software into what is already a complex mix without a recommendation from others in the same situation.

I'm running Windows 7 on a Macbook. I tried the board on a Dell laptop running Windows 7 and it appears in the device manager. So it's a driver problem. I'll put in a ticket.

Bret,

I've gotten my JLink's working under Win 7 64-bit under VirtualBox on my MBP now. This appears to be a combination fo hand installing the drivers, making sure I copy the JLink driver to the Keil driver location, AND...making sure that the JLink is set to SWD in Keil. I noticed earlier today it seems to think its a JTAG unless I switch it -- not sure if this is something to do with sensing its capabilities under VirtualBox?

Maybe the above gives you some pointers on Bootcamp? PM me if you I can help.

Cheers,

P.S: I'm working on getting the entire toolchain working under OSX and XCode natively -- stay tuned!
