nrfjprog 10.13.0+ hangs

[mtfurlan_t]

I upgraded nrfjprog today to support the nrf5340-dk, and nrfjprog stopped exiting.

I narrowed it down to 10.12.2 working and 10.13.0 hanging.

$ nrfjprog --reset
Applying system reset.
Run.

On 10.12.2 it exits, on 10.13.0 it never exits, but both provide the same output.

I've attached logs from both.

I'm running debian bullsyeye 11, and I've been installing nRF commandline tools debs from their download page: https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-tools/nRF-Command-Line-Tools/Download?lang=en#infotabs

Hello,

I wonder if there may be a compatibility issue between the Jlink driver and nrfjprog. I have not experienced this issue on Ubuntu, at least. Could you please try to install 10.18.1 (latest version at the time of writing) along with JLink v7.80c and see if you get the same result?

The jlink installer is included in the tarball here: https://nsscprodmedia.blob.core.windows.net/prod/software-and-other-downloads/desktop-software/nrf-command-line-tools/sw/versions-10-x-x/10-18-1/nrf-command-line-tools-10.18.1_linux-amd64.tar.gz. 

Best regards,

Vidar

That worked, thank you!
It would be nice if nrfjprog could check for compatibility.

Thanks for confirming that it worked. I agree, there should be a check for compatibility in nrfjprog. I will forward this suggestion internally.
