5.10 The J-Link settings file

Most IDEs provide a path to a J-Link settings file on a per-project-per-debug-config-

uration basis. This file is used by J-Link to store various debug settings that shall sur-

vive between debug sessions of a project. It also allows the user to perform some

override of various settings. If a specific behavior / setting can be overridden via the

settings file, is explained in the specific sections that describe the behavior / setting.

Since the location and name of the settings file is different for various IDEs, in the

following the location and naming convention of the J-Link settings file for various

IDEs is explained.

5.10.1 SEGGER Embedded Studio

Settings file with default settings is created on first start of a debug session. There is

one settings file per build configuration for the project.

Naming is: _<ProjectName>_<DebugConfigName>.jlink

The settings file is created in the same directory where the project file (*.emProject)

is located.

Example: The SES project is called "MyProject" and has two configurations "Debug"

and "Release". For each of the configurations, a settings file will be created at the

first start of the debug session:

_MyProject_Debug.jlink

_MyProject_Release.jlink

5.10.2 Keil MDK-ARM (uVision)

Settings file with default settings is created on first start of a debug session. There is

one settings file per project.

Naming is: JLinksettings.ini

The settings file is created in the same directory where the project file (*.uvprojx) is

located.

5.10.3 IAR EWARM

Settings file with default settings is created on first start of a debug session. There is

one settings file per build configuration for the project.

Naming is: <ProjectName>_<DebugConfig>.jlink

The settings file is created in a "settings" subdirectory where the project file is

located.

5.10.4 Mentor Sourcery CodeBench for ARM

CodeBench does not directly specify a J-Link settings file but allows the user to spec-

ify a path to one in the project settings under Debugger -> Settings File. We rec-

ommend to copy the J-Link settings file template from

$JLINK_INST_DIR$\Samples\JLink\SettingsFiles\Sample.jlinksettings to the

directory where the CodeBench project is located, once when creating a new project.

Then select this file in the project options.
