jtagconfig to run jtagd: Error when setting password - Feature not implemented or unavailable under current execution privilege level

Please advise. The whole behavior of jtagd and jtagconfig is obscure and we don't understand anything, there is no help, no documentation regarding these binaries.

It looks like you are trying to set up a JTAG server and need a password.  Put -h after jtagconfig for info.

All the available options correlate to options in the GUI so check the Programmer user guide:

"need a password" for what?

The help doesn't really help...

JTAG Server Configuration

Usage: jtagconfig [--enum]
jtagconfig --add <type> <port> [<name>]
jtagconfig --remove <cable>
jtagconfig --getparam <cable> <param>
jtagconfig --setparam <cable> <param> <value>
jtagconfig --define <jtagid> <name> <irlength>
jtagconfig --undefine <jtagid> <name> <irlength>
jtagconfig --defined
jtagconfig --addserver <server> <password>
jtagconfig --enableremote <password>
jtagconfig --disableremote
jtagconfig --version
jtagconfig --help
jtagconfig --extrahelp

For more details use jtagconfig --extrahelp

And for enableremote:

--enableremote Tells the JTAG server to allow connections from remote
<password> machines. These machines must specify the same password
when connecting.

As you can see in the screenshot, the password is provided "mypass".

Then, why do I get this error message?

As you can imagine, I follow this page: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683472/22-4/installing-and-configuring-a-local-jtag.html

Thanks.

You run --enableremote on the machine you want to act as the JTAG server, setting the password that others will use to connect to it.  On other machines that want to connect to this machine as a server, they use --addserver, setting the address of the server and the password that was set.

As for the error, perhaps you have to run it as sudo.

@sstrell That's exactly what I've done. There is no valid reason to run any of the jtag* commands as root.

After trying again and again after reboots and all, it has stopped returning this error.

It would still be good to know why I got this error message.

Hi,

You need to run it in administrator mode to avoid the error.
