J-Link Installation

The following article will guide you through the SEGGER J-Link installation.

Installation Steps

1. Download nRF Command Line Tools from this link:

   https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-tools/nrf-command-line-tools/download

   tip

   Select the corresponding platform in the combo box selector on the left side.

2. Install the downloaded tools

   The installation contains the command line tools from Nordic Semiconductor but also includes the SEGGER J-Link Software and Documentation Pack. It is recommended to install these two packages together via an installer from Nordic Semiconductor, as it prevents potential compatibility and version conflicts.

Hardware Connection

1. Plug the SEGGER Cortex-M adapter to SEGGER J-Link.

2. Connect the 10-pin SWD flat cable to the SEGGER Cortex-M adapter and the other side to CHESTER.

   info

   There are three SWD connectors on the CHESTER mainboard. Typically, you will be dealing with the BLE port (which connects to the application microcontroller).

3. Connect the Micro-USB cable to SEGGER J-Link and to your computer.
