nrf9160 programmer for production purposes

[Aswin P V]

Hi,

We would like to know whether below programmers can be used to flash both NRF9160 application image and modem image. Also whether any command line support is there. 

1.  Jlink Plus compact with CortexM header  :  https://shop-us.segger.com/J_Link_PLUS_Compact_p/8.19.28.htm

2. DapLink programmer from ParticleIO  : https://store.particle.io/products/particle-debugger

 

Thanks in advance,

Aswin

Hi!

1.  Jlink Plus compact with CortexM header

 Yes, this supports Cortex-M33, as long as the HW version is 9 or higher, see here. This can be used to flash both the application image and modem image.

 

2. DapLink programmer from ParticleIO

 No, it doesn't look like this one supports Arm Cortex-M33. 

With regard to CLI, you can use nrfjprog to flash the application images and pynrfjprog for the modem images. 

Best regards,

Heidi

Thank you. One more thing is we would like to know whether  JLINK EDU and JLINK EDU MINI are supported. Also any issue in flash write time taken if we use those. We are planning to use multiple programmers

Hi, if you took a link that I attached in my last comment, you can see the overview of all SEGGER debuggers. J-Link EDU is supported, with HW version 9 or higher. J-Link EDU Mini is also supported.

However, please note that you can only use these for non-commercial educational purposes, see here.
