Recommended debug probe for nRF5340

[Greg James]

I am new to embedded f/w development.  I would like to be able to debug zephyr projects.  Can anyone recommend a debug probe to use with the nRF5340? and any debugger software I should use?

Thanks.

What are your constraints?  Something like the Segger J-Link EDU might be a good value for the money.  Watch out for high shipping fees though.

Both models are currently out of stock but I just got a Mini about 2 weeks ago so maybe it's a temporary supply issue.  You can also find clones (which may or may not be reliable) on Aliexpress.

why not use a nRF5340-DK?

I am actually going to work with the Laird BL5340, supply chain issues.  Does that affect the choices to make for a debug probe and debug software/IDE?

Hello,

Both previous answers are relevant to you. Make sure to have debug connectors to your BL5340 module, as instructed in the module datasheet.

Kind regards,
