tbh what you find on aliexpress is often both cheap and rather on the crappy side. I'd pay more to get a better one, personally
<Xogium>
though that's not always the case ;) sometimes you pay a lot for something that turns out to be crappy *cough* Linus tech tips buying tablets from aliexpres

how do I know which JTAG is going to work with my board, like I foud this one - https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804285601878.html - not sure if its going to work with mine, is there a difference between v8/v9/v11 kind of things?
<bencoh>
aisha[m]: those cheap "jlink" are segger clones, they might work with openocd (I ordered one of those and it seems to be working)
<bencoh>
as long as your board has support for either jtag or swd, it should work
<aisha[m]>
what is segger?
<bencoh>
segger.com is the company behind the original jlink adapters
<aisha[m]>
holy shit their jlink prices are !!!!!!
<bencoh>
yeah
<bencoh>
the edu version is decently priced, if you don't need commercial use
<aisha[m]>
yea im not doing commercial stuff, mostly BSD development
<bencoh>
may I ask which board you are working on?
<bencoh>
(based on history I suppose you're trying to port a bsd flavour to some SBC board?)
