This is probably not true. Atmel Sam-ICE is an OEM version of Segger J-Link which limits it to the Atmel MCU/MPUs. There are OEM versions which have some limitations. IAR's OEM version has the least limitations (not working inside Keil MDK but works for all vendors' device). http://www.segger.com/cms/terms-of-use.html > If you can get OpenOCD to work with the cheaper version then > you are hurting Segger's profits.

OpenOCD does break some limitations of the OEM versions of J-Link since it does not limit them to a specific vendor's device. I am not so sure if this is a big problem for Segger or not. If it is, probably they will request OpenOCD to put in the limitation codes (detect the J-Link and detect the target), so far I have not seen anything like that. > If Segger keeps up nonsense like that wouldn't the solution be > to ignore them and go with something like Versaloon or any > other manufacturer who doesn't make it a routine to break our code? Many of us have various version of J-Link. So that is probably the best incentive to support it. It is a good one in terms of capability. Similarly there are desires to support vendor's proprietary Jtag hardware like ST-Link, LPC-Link simply because many of us got them even though they are not as open as Versaloon. > Can you reflash the Jlink that have issues with an older software > version or is it new hardware? Yes you can and that is the current work-around for J-Link V8. Probably it will be the same story for J-Link Pro and J-Link Ultra. It does not seem to affect V7/V6 or below. -- Xiaofan _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
