How to make IAR jlink work with keil uvision 3.8a

... at the SILabs forum which all come down to the fact that the SILabs "equivalent to jlink" and Keil are out of synch i.e. to use SILabs release x, you need Keil release y. Fortunately the SILabs JTAG emulator is complete and operates quite well as a freestanding program which does not seem to be the case for jlink.

I would GUESS that since, as you state, it is documented as avaliable, the problem is synchronization since, as the above similar is "out of synch" on a regular basis.

Do contact Keil support and request which Keil version match the version you have of jlink.

not just the main revisions, it should have read

"to use SILabs release x.abc, you need Keil release y.def.

Hi,

I'm a bit *confused* about the two last posts.
Technically there should be no big difference if that all are J-Links in a different robe :-) (black, blue, yellow, ...)

The J-Link itselv decides if it wants to operate or not, and this behaviour cannot be changed.

So, if the SI-Labs J-Link is not dependant on their GUI it should work with ARM7/9 J-Link / J-Trace or Cortex-M3 J-Link driver.

I do not have an SI Labs J-Link here so I cannot test ...

BR,
/th.

1) SILabs do NOT have a Jlink, they have an interface to Keil that gives ICE functionality. BTW SILabs do not make ARMs, but '51s

2) the interface keeps changing and thus I GUESSED that your Jlink problems could be an interface mismatch due to a Keil change.

Hi,

ok, I am *still_confused* about the J-Link problems ...

1st: The (yellow) IAR J-Link does _not_ work with Keil, because it is a special Version of the J-Link.

2nd: If your computer says, that the J-Link is not installed properly, please doanload the latest driver package from segger (http://www.segger.com), which includes the windows kernel driver for J-Link, which is needed.
