Autodetect board connection to PC

[lybrus]

Hi! 

I want to use tag-connect without fixation for fast flashing boards. Just plug it in and a script automatically flashes board in seconds. If somebody knows, if it possible to write the script that detects the connection board to PC event? I know a stupid solution - trying to run nrfjprog with some arguments (-i e.g.), but I don't like it.

Thanks!

Hi,

The debugger would have to attempt connection periodically to detect when a target board is actually connected. I'm not aware of any existing scripts for this, but I think it might be easier to automate the process with our pynrfjprog (python wrapper for nrfjprog libs).

Hi,

It's only one way - checking periodically. Ok, thanks.
