nrfjprog not working on raspberry pi 4

[picatostas]

Hi

I am trying to setup a raspberry pi 4 for flashing nrf devices. But Nrfjprog doesn't seem to work.

I am using a Raspberry Pi 4 with 2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf-lite

I have fetched Segger and nrfjprog deb packages using :

wget --post-data 'accept_license_agreement=accepted&non_emb_ctr=confirmed&submit=Download+software' www.segger.com/.../JLink_Linux_arm.deb

wget www.nordicsemi.com/.../nRF-Command-Line-Tools_10_14_0_LinuxArm.zip

installed them using:

sudo dpkg -i ~/nRF-Command-Line-Tools_10_14_0_LinuxArm/nrf-command-line-tools_10.14.0_armhf.deb

sudo dpkg -i JLink_Linux_arm.deb

I can detect the target using JLinkExe:

but when running nrfjprog I run into this:

log file as follows:

running ldd I get the following

What am I missing ?

If you need anymore details from my setup, let me know.

Hi

It seems like the JLinkarm_nrf_worker is failing to start for some reason. This could be due to the execution privileges not being correctly applied, which makes the worker non-executable here. Can you check the access rights to jlinkarm_nrf_worker?

Best regards,

Simon

Hi,

I'm facing the same exact issue. This is what I get -

I don't know if this might help but this happens when trying to connect using directly the JLinkExe binary

Hi

It seems like there's a missing library here. (libSM.so.6). Have you instealled the libsm6 package? It can be done with the following command:

sudo apt install libsm6

We might have to add this package as a dependency if this occurs by default when using .deb packages for the tools.

Best regards,

Simon
