ATmega32U4 and JTAG

Hi,

I am trying to get JTAG to work with a Leonardo (ATmega32U4), but I am having problem understand what settings I need to set in platformio.ini,
Maybe someone out there knows what to set?

My setup:
Have a SEGGER JTAG+SWD programmer connect to PC with USB.
Device Manager says: Jlink CDC UART Port (COM3) (standard driver, see below)

The Leonardo pins 36-39, Reset, GND are connect to the SEGGER J-Link programmer pins according to the JTAG Interface/Wiring Connections on this page:
https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/plus/debug-tools/jlink.html
I am powering the Leonardo with USB power as the JTAG adapter only give 3.3v and the board like 5v.

(The programmer works with another board and SWD in platformio.
The board works to update using USB Arduino Leonardo COM18.)

Leonardo JTAG env. settings in platformio.ini:

[env:leonardo]
platform = atmelavr
board = leonardo
framework = arduino

Tested changing USB driver using Zadig 2.5.
So, instead of having a COM3, I have a device under USB controller called J-Link driver.

Error: Please specify `upload_port` for environment or use global `--upload-port` option.
For some development platforms it can be a USB flash drive (i.e. /media/<user>/<device name>)

Tested different combination of following settings:
debug_tool = jlink
upload_protocol = jlink-jtag
but get same error.
Don’t know how or what --upload-port I should specify.
So I guess I should stick with Windows default drivers?

Any suggestion what I can try?

How would you do this any tool at all? At [SOLVED] program Atmega32p using j-link edu - J-Link/Flasher related - SEGGER - Forum I read JLink + AVR target is not supported. Avrdude definitely doesn’t support it, too.

I saw the JTag pins (TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK) on this picture.

and then I read the datasheet from microchip:

(page 371 etc)

So then I thought it would try it out with my programmer and platformio…
I am totally new at this… so I have clearly misunderstood something.

Debugging via JTAG is possible, just not with the Segger JLink because the software (JLink.exe, avrdude, …) doesn’t have support for it.

Per here and here you can use other JTAG capable debuggers (foremost, an Atmel JTAG ICE and the AVR dragon) with the AVaRICE program to create a GDB server to enable the debugging functionality.

The avarice and PlatformIO has also been successfully demonstrated in other threads, e.g. CLion / Avarice debug not working - #5 by wirepirate
