Need help with Sipeed RV Debugger

Hello everyone, I’ve some problems to understand how to use the Sipeed USB-JTAG/TTL RISC-V Debugger. I wanted to use it mainly for swd programming in Keil and openocd, I thought the PC would recognize the debugger as an ST-LINK or something similar, but on Windows I only see a FT2232D device, so a dual COM device.
From instructions the supported software versions are:

  • ST-LINK Utility 2.0 and 4.2.1 above
  • KEIL RVMDK V4.21 and above

But neither the ST-Link Utility (no ST-LINK detected! message), nor Keil (no debugger found) can recognize the device. I think there may be a way to use it in openocd, but I don’t know how to set the .cfg file correctly.
I think I’m missing something; can someone help me to better understand how to use this debugger?

I’m beginning to think Seeed are a take your money and run kind of Company. I would also like to know the answer to the question you put to them five years ago

Unfortunatly it seems that way… I think alot is the language barrior…

Hi there

And welcome here…

if I may new subscriber I don’t understand how you can say take the money and run kind of company doesn’t add up the OP failed to load the proper drivers that’s why his device was not detected in the manor he expected, simple it is supported by openOCD and GDB debugger So if it’s installed properly it will work The com ports that show up the two FTDI’s are correct for that type of device similar to an ESP-Proggy device therefore the question is considered answered.

You have any question,we can help :v:

GL :grin: PJ :v:

Watch the new debugger video and see where he went wrong

I got some sort of Sipeed unit i never could figure out what it did… I think it was an IA think like the Watcher

I have a MediaTek/Seeed LinkIt Smart 7688 Duo
(and the Seeed/Grove Arduino Breakout for LinkIt Smart 7688 Duo)
• Does Seeed still support the device - NO
• Does Seeed even still have the Arduino Board Definition for the device available somewhere - NO
• Does Seeed still have the SDK or the firmware for the device available – NO
(If it were up to Seeed this board is now effectively bricked and useless.)

I have a Seeed Lora-E5 Development board
• Does Seeed supply the firmware – NO
• Does Seeed offer active links to any SDK – NO
• Does Seeed explain that none of the boards on board devices won’t work unless you overwrite the firmware (with no way back) – NO
• Does Seeed document the fact that even though the board looks Arduino compatible, it isn’t, so plugging in an Arduino Hat may destroy the board and/or the Hat – NO
Believe me when I say I could go on to all the newer Seeed products I own, but I think I’ve made my point.
