jlink lite replacement

[Paul Russell]

My JLink Lite seems to have died (nRFgo Studio can see it, but can't connect to a target). What is the latest replacement for a JLink Lite?

Preferably something that can work with my own future PCB, and isn't hundreds of dollars.

I have an nRF51822-EK and an nRF51822-mkit, but I don't see an easy way to isolate their SWDIO/SWCLK signals from the onboard nRF51822.

How about this kickstarter project, a ~$40 jtag. www.kickstarter.com/.../description

You can even put on your board with a $25 jtag module and make your board a mBed board.

Here is the cut and jumps to the nRF51822-mkit to use it to program other nRF51822 projects using the SWDIO/SWCLK signals.

Since that kickstarter project isn't even yet funded, let alone in production, that doesn't really help the original poster much at this point.

That's unfortunate. You could try asking Nordic to sell you a replacement, they might be allowed to do that if it's broken, I don't think Segger will sell you one.

The new nRF51-DK also has an onboard JLink which you can also use to program an external board, if you'd prefer to buy another board rather than use your mkit. I'd probably start by trying to use the mkit myself.

Well, if you like you fund it. That's the whole point of kickstarter. If you don't like it, no one force you. If you know a better one then why don't you tell OP. Beside, prototype has been made. SWD fully functional with Keil, CrossWorks & Eclipse. It'll be avail in 2 months not in 10 years. This not even for funding a project. R&D has funded been done. The kickstart is just a pre-sale marketing tool.
