Use J-Link Commander to Run DCI Command#
J-Link Commander from Segger is a command line-based utility that supports simple commands to verify and communicate with the target connection. There are two ways to run the DCI command through the J-Link Commander.
J-Link Command File (*.jlink)
J-Link Script File (*.JLinkScript)
This application note uses J-Link Commander v7.66g. The J-Link Commander's command line interface is invoked by JLink.exe located in C:\Program Files\SEGGER\JLink_V766g (Windows).
J-Link Command File#
The J-Link Command file below is an example to invoke the J-Link Commander in batch processing mode for the Erase Device operation. The delay (sleep 500) in milliseconds after writing the command word is device dependent. It may be shorter or longer.

exitThe example below is to run the J-Link Command file (assume EraseDevice.jlink is in the J-Link Commander folder) via the Windows DOS command prompt. The target device is EFR32MG21A, and the target interface is 1000 kHz SWD. The SWD speed is hardware dependent; for example, the length of the wires between the programmer and the device debug pins. The speed (frequency) can be higher for shorter wires and lower for longer wires.
