DA14683: Restoring the missing CoreSight components

Currently I can not load my program into the FLASH or RAM memory for one of the DA14683 MCUs used.
After investigating the problem, I found that the J-Link debug probe can not find the CoreSight components in the ROM table.

Following CoreSight components are missing:
-> SCS (System Control Space)
-> DWT (Data Watchpoint and Trace)
-> FPB (Flash Patch and Breakpoint)

Is there a way to restore or find the missing CoreSight components?

  • My apologies for the late reply. I've been busy with other work related tasks.

    I am using a custom board.

    In the following you can find my gdbserver configurations:
    JLinkGDBServerCLExe -device Cortex-M0 -if SWD -speed 1000 -port 2331 -singlerun

    Like you suggested I downgraded my JLink software, but to no avail. The downgraded JLink produced the same error pattern as before.

    Additionally, I want to emphasis, that I currently have access to multiple identical custom boards supporting the DA14683. The outlined problem only arises with one of the custom boards. As a result of the portrayed circumstances, I don't think the problem is due to a configuration mistake. For me the more plausible problem cause is a corrupt CoreSight ROM table. Is there a way to restore or reconfigure the CoreSight ROM table?

  • Hi There, 

    Is the QSPI flash empty or not? If not, can you please try to erase it using UART? You can use the python scripts from SmartSnippets Studio.

    As far as I know, it's not possible to restore the CoreSight. To check this internally and deeply, I would like to understand the procedure you followed in order to get this error during programming. Can you please share more insights? 

    Regards,
