Ludovic37-center commented 2025年10月28日 14:08:33 +01:00 (Migrated from github.com)

Hi,

At my company, I am working on a cutsom board equipped with a NORDIC nrf54L15.
We need to use the Black Magic Probe to bulk program large numbers of devices in production (https://black-magic.org/usage/gdb-automation.html), so i created a windows batch file to do it.
(arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe --batch -nx -ex "target extended-remote \.\COM27" -x black_magic_probe_flash.scr binary.hex)
I've got some strange error with arm-none-eabi-gdb when running this batch file.

When i try tu use arm-none-eabi-gdb manually, i've got an error with "attach 1".
I think it try to attch to the nRF54L Access Port.
Have you ever encountered this problem and do you have a solution ?
Best regards
Thank you

First questions we have for this are: what version of the firmware are you running (mon version)? After the first attach failure, does the probe carry any error information? (mon morse)

Do please note that swdp_scan is deprecated, please prefer and use swd_scan instead.
