11:14 <snappy> hi, i was using openocd 0.10.x with steppenprobe (had to bring the cfg into the config files dir); when i tried to run -f interfaces/ftdi/steppenprobe.cfg -c 'transport select swd' -f target/nrf52.cfg -c 'flash write_image foo.hex verify' - i had issues saying that write_image wasn't a supported command or something like that. I don't have the error message with me since i'm not near my lab. Any

11:14 <snappy> ideas why flash write_image wouldn't register?

11:24 <snappy> Also the openocd documentation says transport SWD only supports debugging - maybe this is why i cannot flash?

11:29 <PaulFertser> snappy: hi

11:29 <snappy> hi

11:30 <PaulFertser> snappy: no, you should be able to flash over SWD. Probably you were using a version so old than nrf52 wasn't supported? I recommend you upgrade to the current release.

11:31 <PaulFertser> snappy: for the reference, both JTAG and SWD are handled by SWJ ARM core, and both are essentially just transports for ADI (ARM Debug Interface), so functionality is the same when it comes to OCD.

11:31 <snappy> PaulFertser: understood; i think we did try with openocd 0.11.x as well, but ran into the same problem, i cannot remember the exact message but it said that the flash "write_image" subcommand didn't exist/didn't work. I was trying to look through the openocd 0.11.x source to figure out how these flash commands get enabled for a device.

11:32 <PaulFertser> snappy: if the target config defines flash, then the command is available.

11:32 <PaulFertser> snappy: 0.11.0 isn't the current release either.

11:32 <PaulFertser> snappy: just come here for interactive debugging when you have hardware near you.
