Angel Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 I have a jeff probe. I tried to update the probe to what I thought was a newer firmware version. Since there is very little documentation and community support, I used the firmware for the native black magic probe. This bricked the device but left the bootloader. While I was trying to get the probe back to it's original state, the bootloader got wiped as well. I have searched everywhere for a prebuilt copy of the firmware but it doesn't seem to exist. I found the repository github.com/flirc/blackmagic. No matter what I try, I can't get it to build. It always errors out before the firmware is built. I tried going to your support page and download page for the jeff probe but it is always "under construction." I lost usb functionality with the bootloader but I have it hooked up to the bus pirate using open ocd. Please, I need a copy of the prebuilt firmware to restore the device.

Angel Posted May 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Also, the device will not boot into bootloader mode because the bootloader was wiped. That means, if I hold down the button and then plug it in, it still will not go into bootloader mode. lsusb, dmsg, and the like do not detect the device. NOTHING works.

bm16ton Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 I'm having the same issue, the board I wanna debug is lpc4370 and it would error out, so i figured a firmware update would help. But it wont build. Newer toolchains find more warnings and errors, but even turning off Werror it still finds actually errors not warnings. I worked thru sum of them before giving up. A schematic is a must if we ever wanna repurpose it as well, or use sercom mixing to bust out say i2c. Reading the forum etc it doesnt seem likely well ever even get a response on this. Even knowing what toolchain version they managed to compile this with would be a huge help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bm16ton Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Ps the swd clk has two super tiny solder pads next to mcu, its tiny but they are labeled, if you loose your bootloader u can always reprogram that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellisbe Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Yo I was having issues building the firmware myself but I did finally get 'er done. I'll put it on github in a sec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 I really fucked up, I'm sorry. I'll get you a new board, I'm sorry it got messed up while you were waiting. I updated github with better instructions, a quick fix to samd targets, and binaries. I also included schematics. I don't do much work on this. I am so overwhelmed with this new product. Harmony competitor. Massive project. Years in the making. Starting production shortly. Still a lot to do but it's all quickly coming together.

Dave Starkey Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Hi Jason, I got one of these jeff probe blackmagic JTAG clone from Amazon. I intend to use it on the ESP32-s2 chip using eclipse. I am running windows 11. When i look at it in the device manager it looks like two com ports. They both have the same PID 6018. I think when it is working correctly it should show 6017 (for the JTAG side) and 6018 for the UART side. The second port does not seem to work as a UART and of course the JTAG is a non starter. So I suspect I need to flash it with some new firmware. I tried the sketchy and scary Zadig jive it times out on both the Win11 and Win10. I have So after too much (but likely not enough info).. How do I flash the part? or should I just pack it in and go another route? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 No you can't pop it. maybe it's not in the bootloader. Hold down the button when you plug it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unplug the device, Push the button, Plug it in while holding the button. continue holding the button while executing the command? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 You can let go of the button after you plug it in after waiting a second or two. You should see a different usb product ID show up. PID_6018 for the main app PID_6017 for the DFU I think you need the driver installed for both in windows. If you have linux, you might have an easier time.

Dave Starkey Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Ok i have it up in DFU Demo mode. It does show a PID of 1d50:6017, But alas :: Invalid DFU suffix signature A valid DFU suffix will be required in a future dfu-util release!!!

jason Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 I think it's because you need to have the windows driver installed. Or re-run as an administrator. Windows is a piece of dog shit for stuff like this. This is why all my products use HID and all my apps can talk to them driverless. Because I'm 100% done with drivers in windows. I've spent enough time on the phone helping people with 'unknown device' in device manager trying to force install my own drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Starkey Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 I just got my second one in. As expected it has the same problem. One difference was when I first plugged it in to the Windows 10 machine it did a little dance and acted like it might have updated the firmware but no, It has the same problem. It's been a while since i did an substantial Linux stuff. the only operating Linux machine I have is a raspberry pi. I tried but for me that is a giant pain. How about I mail you both of the devices and you can update them for me? Hopefully Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Starkey Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 HI Jason, I have flashed both of my devices to: Black Magic Probe (SAMD2), (Firmware v1.6.2-5-gca7bf01) I still see 2 serial ports at 6018 none at 6017. When I hold the switch down to put it in bootloader mode, I see a single device at 6017, but that is useless for debugging. Is this the correct firmware now? Am I misunderstanding how this thing is supposed to work? Thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 Yes, the two serial ports are correct. Yes, this is most likely the issue. You need an ELF file. Then you can start up gdb and point to the elf file: You start gdb and point to the elf file: arm-none-eabi-gdb 'elf file you want to flash' Now from GDB, you can connect to an attached device. Attach the JTAG cable to the target. But you need to tell GDB where to go, so let's point it to the serial port: target extended-remote /dev/cu.usbmodemJEFF1 (I'm not sure what the destination is on windows, but replace /dev/cu....) Then tell the probe what kind of JTAG you want to use, probably 2 wire serial: monitor swdp_scan Assuming you see the target, you can attach to it: attach 1 Then you can load the file: load You can now walk through and step through various aspects of code, assuming the elf file has debug symbols in it. We're going to start diving into advanced firmware topics, and I'm not sure your experience. Here is the documentation, for the same product the firmware is derived from: https://github.com/blackmagic-debug/blackmagic They have a lot of documentation, and a wiki to get started.

Dave Starkey Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 Thanks, good to know I was barking up the wrong tree. For years I have been debugging using JTAG probes. Usually on Kinetis parts using their own hacked up version of eclipse. I am new to the openDCD and raw GDB debugging. But all the documentation makes it look easy once i get the JTAG thing up and going. Tomorrow I will have an new tree to bark at. Thanks for your help Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 His branch is the same as mine, he just added the binary, which I have now. To rebase onto the main tree, is no days work.
