It depends on what your goal is. If your goal is to make OpenOCD support the newest J-Link firmware, a proprietary product, then of course you should not buy another dongle. If your goal is to use OpenOCD to do some kind of debugging, as you indicated, then I think it is a very easy choice to spend some money on hardware which is well-supported and where the actual interface developers do not only provide hardware and software documentation on request but in fact they also participate quite actively in the OpenOCD community. For me it is an absolute no-brainer to buy the hardware which is best supported within the project, if the goal is to debug a target rather than to debug a driver in OpenOCD built by reverse-engineering a proprietary product. > > Segger J-Link is one of the best supported JTAG tool for ARM MCU/MPU > > fully agree. That may be true outside OpenOCD but it is certainly not true in OpenOCD. I see no participation whatsoever from Segger in the OpenOCD community, while both Tin Can Tools (who make the FlySwatter 2) and Simon Qian (who makes the Versaloon) are quite active and consistent contributors. Anything outside OpenOCD is irrelevant if you want to use OpenOCD for debugging right now. > I already have several probes and still prefer the J-Link. > anyone else interested in making it work with OpenOCD? > > other suggestions? What suggestion do you seriously expect to get? If you do not want to use a well-supported interface and prefer to work on the OpenOCD driver for J-Link in order to make it support the proprietary interface then you have decided what you want to do and there are no suggestions to give.. Go for it! The patches will of course be very welcome, but from your mail it seemed like you were more interested in debugging your target projects than working on the J-Link driver, which I think is very reasonable. :) //Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
