STM32F3210E-Eval not responding via JTAG

Hi,

we are using three STM32F3210E-Eval for about 1 year now. Recently 2 of these boards stopped responding via JTAG. The JTAG interface used is a Segger J-Link Edu. Different J-Links on different PCs have not made a difference. The third board still works fine. The J-Link Commander from Segger gives the error message ''TDO is constantly high''. I have also tried lowering the JTAG frequency and using SWD instead. Nothing works.Any suggestions?Regards,Tobias

Somethink like this ?

It's frankly more probable you have code early in the reset path that alters the GPIO's used by JTAG/SWD, or DMA or WFI loop. A quick test would be to get the BOOT0 pin high so that it enters the System ROM at reset instead, this acts as a safe harbour from where you can erase and program the flash.

I tried before to erase the flash via the built-in bootloader. But that did not fix the problem. I will now hook up an osci and see, if the mcu really does not respond on the TDO pin.
