Hi,

Do you know why it doesn’t work with my xiao_mg24?

PS C:\Users\ludov\Documents\GitHub\xiao_mg24\OpenOCD> ./flash_code.bat "firmware\MatterValveThreadSolution.hex"

Flash Image "firmware\\MatterValveThreadSolution.hex"?

Do I need to create the target/swj-dp.tcl file?

Sorry, I don’t know what is causing that. I can check in the morning, 10:30pm here now…
What OS are you using? Try from Windows cmd to see if that helps?

Ok, I’ll have a look when I get back to my office in the morning.
Seems like a script isn’t getting found even though it exists. Could be a path issue?

I find that file in Arduino Silabs directory and copy it.
Now I don’t have this error anymore.
