Minimum requirements

Preparing for J-Link

The SiPeed Longan Nano does not come with a standard debug connector but populates the debug JTAG signals on 6 pads that can be found on the opposite of the USB-C interface. Therefore, it can be manually wired in case J-Link shall be connected to it.

The following guide will describe how the Longan Nano Board can be connected to your J-Link Base V10 or higher. Other J-Links might work as well but wiring might be slightly different. All needed information can be found in the probe related documentation.

  • The Longan Nano board does not come with the pin header populated so first the pin headers need to be soldered to your board.
  • Now connect the board with e.g. jumperwires to your J-Link probe.
  • The following table shows how the Signals should be connected on both the board and J-Link side.
J-Link 20 pin debug interface Pin on eval board pads
Pin 1 (VTref) 3V3
Pin 4 (GND) GND
Pin 5 (TDI) JTDI
Pin 7 (TMS) JTMS
Pin 9 (TCK) JTCK
Pin 13 (TDO) JTDO

The resulting connection will then look like this:

  • Power the board via the USB-C port.
  • Verify the Connection with e.g. J-Link Commander. The output should look as follows:

Example projects for SEGGER Embedded Studio

The following example project was created with the SEGGER Embedded Studio project wizard and runs out-of-the-box on the Longan Nano board. It is a simple Hello World sample and can be downloaded here:
