nRF52 Best reset strategy with IAR and J-Link

[prpaul]

What is the optimum reset strategy for Debugging the nRF52832 with a Segger J-Link Plus? (Setting of Project_Options/Category:J-Link_J-Trace/Reset)

• nRF shall not execute any code instructions in the main function after debug Image download before steping or go is requested. (that happens with the Setting "Normal")

• nRF shall reset all peripherals and Registers when doing a Debugger reset. (no register Reset with Setting "Reset Pin")

What do you mean by reset strategy?

"nRF shall not execute any code instructions in the main function after debug Image download before steping or go is requested".

I just tested with "Normal" setting, and it did not start before I stepped or pressed go. However, if you have flashed the wrong SoftDevice it can look like the code executing starts immediately.

After updating the Segger J-Link Tools, the debugging with strategy "normal" works fine.
