Contacting support

Before contacting support, make sure you tried to solve your problem by trying your Flasher with another PC and if possible with another target system to see if it works there. If the device functions correctly, the USB setup on the original machine or your target hardware is the source of the problem, not Flasher.

If you need to contact support, send the following information to
support@segger.com

  • A detailed description of the problem
  • Flasher serial number
  • Information about your target hardware (processor, board, etc.).
  • FLASHER.CFG, FLASHER.DAT, FLASHER.LOG, SERIAL.TXT file from Flasher. To get these files, Flasher has to be in file access mode. For more information about how to boot Flasher in file access mode, please refer to file access mode.

Flasher is sold directly by SEGGER.
