probe-rs: Can't flash nRF9160 with HS probe

Describe the bug I can’t flash my nRF9160 using the HS Probe. I’ve just updated the HS probe to the newest firmware, but no change.

It does work with the jlink of the Nordic DK’s (tested with an nRF53 DK). It works with both swd and jtag as the protocol.

To Reproduce

  1. Have an embedded project (in this case https://github.com/tweedegolf/dis-bootloader)
  2. Run cargo flash --release --chip nRF9160_xxAA

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • Windows 11

Additional context Cargo flash is based on the Jan-28 master version (with a small modification so it works nicely with the nrf53). Problem is also with the most recent probe-run.

I’ve been trying lots of things, nothing fixed it yet. However we’re receiving a WAIT response and then quit after that. I just wonder if the JLINK handles that internally itself better than we do. I’m going to hook up the debug probes to a logic analyzer and capture what’s actually sent between the probe and the device.

I’ll check what my probe sends/receives…

also, that other issue looks interesting…I’ll look into it and get back to you…

I’ve just captured the data, haven’t analyzed it myself yet, but I thought I’d post it so you can take a look if/when you have time.

This runs when dropping the session, so I guess the error happens before that? And then when it fails, we drop the session?
