Adafruit SWD Adapter J-Link EDU Mini Pinout

Adafruit JTAG Adapter Adafruit JTAG Adapter

J-Link can utilise a dedicated programming device such as the JLink EDU Mini or be embedded on a prototyping board such as a STM32 NUCLEO.

The header is tiny on the JLink EDU Mini, however, a JTAG/SWD adapter like the one from Adafruit can break this out onto a breadboard or header leads.

There are clones of the J-Link interfaces which SEGGER do not license to be used with the official software and it's a good idea to keep to their wishes. Clones may use OpenOCD instead.

Install

Raspberry Pi

J-Link doesn't work on the original Pi or Pi Zero with the armv6l core, it only works with armv7l or aarch64. If you run J-Link on arm6l it will crash with a segmentation fault.

Visit the J-Link for ARM page or J-Link for ARM64 page and agree to their terms, after which you may download the armv7l or aarch64 compatible binaries to store in /opt.

cd /opt
tar zxvf JLink_Linux_V782a_arm.tgz
chown -R 0:0 JLink_Linux_V782a_arm/
ln -s JLink_Linux_V782a_arm JLink
apt install libsm6
cp /opt/JLink/99-jlink.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
udevadm control --reload-rules
udevadm trigger

The udev rules didn't work for me so I use my own.

NB do not add /opt/JLink to ldconfig path since on ARM64 a 32-bit library will be included which breaks JLink.

Windows

Test

When you run JLinkExe it will popup a dialog every day about accepting a license. This means you must have X11 available to accept its terms. If X11 is not available the tool will still work but the output dialog will contain a failed connection message.

The configuration and license terms are stored in $HOME/.config/SEGGER/

NUCLEO-F302R8

This board has had ST-Link replaced by JLink on-board.

Upgrading to JLink requires an older ST-LINK firmware to be installed as newer versions fail to be detected. A working firmware for upgrade is found in “en.stsw-link007_V2-32-22.zip”

The JLink error message for its license popup can be disabled by renaming the JLink GUI Server EXE.
