You are running some program that keeps the JTAG link open. You just have to find it and stop it. If you really don't remember what program you ran opens the JTAG link,my trick is to find the jtagserver process in the task manager and kill it. Usually, the program hogging the JTAG link will error out and won't try to reestablish the link automatically. Then, you can start programming. On Linux, the process is called jtagd.

If jtagserver doesn't start automatically, you may need to start it yourself.
