Using JLink Debugger for M4 software on IMX8M

[quyenngo]

I have a problem when trying to use JLink debugger for IMX8M.

Follow the instruction oat chapter 5 of Getting Started with MCUXpresso SDK i.MX 8M Quad, Rev. B, 12/2017 document, I can build the demo application with ARM-GCC.

But I can not connect to JLink debugger. 

The instruction says that "Before running a demo, make sure the iar_segger_support_patch_imx8 patch is installed."

But I don't know how to get the patch and install it.

Please help.

I tried to apply this patch by it did not work. 

There is not MIMX8MQ6_M4 in the device list.

I tried GDB-sever with Linux host too, but it said that it can connect to the device.

Another problem, I tried to build the SDK with IAR workbench, V8.32, but it shows many errors. I tried to follow this instruction to fix the errors but it did not work.

Please answer all of my questions. I have to wait for a long time to get the answer from you. So, please.

1, The patch which I download from your suggestion link is JLINK-V633d, I cannot find the link to download this version on Segger site:
SEGGER - The Embedded Experts - Downloads - J-Link / J-Trace 

2, I downloaded the newest version of SDK http://prntscr.com/lbn1fo. And its document says that it does not require IAR patch anymore. Is it correct?

3, I tried GDB-sever with Linux host too, but it said that it can connect to the device. How can I pass this problem?

4, Another problem, I tried to build the SDK with IAR workbench, V8.32, but it shows many errors. I tried to follow this instruction to fix the errors but it did not work.
