Flash mimxrt1010 on Linux

MKlem — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 16:05:56 GMT

Hi all,

I have got quite a few hours in this problem but still can't get it solved.

This is the situation. A custom IMX RT1010 board will be put into a fixture where probes are connecting to the SWD port (and others).

The SWD port is then connected to a MCULink probe, which is connected to an Odroid (ARM64) as the "host".

The host runs teststeps and one of the first step is to write a program to the board's flash. This is what I already tried:

- Sysprogs openOCD with (custom) flashloader, however the openOCD version of sysprogs is not made for Linux (issue #14)

- Linkserver, but there is no ARM64 version (already had contact with NXP expert)

- pyocd with evkmimxrt1010_flashloader binary as flashloader, but when reporting the flash it does not recognize imxrt flash driver.

Long story short I am running out of ideas on how to program my flash through the SWD port of the IMXRT1010. It shouldn't be so hard to do right?

I mean, MCUXpresso also uses a flashdriver, MIMXRT1010_SFDP_QSPI.cfx (elf) but this also does not seem to work.

With OpenOCD I did manage to get a connection to the CPU and I am also able to halt, run reset etc. Even setting the QE bit in the flash is done. But without a proper flashloader, the same error remains: error writing at address 0x60000000.

So here I am reaching out, hoping somebody else can give some more pointers where to search, maybe some help on a flashdriver solution...

Any help is highly appreciated!

Thanks,

Marcel

Hi @MKlem ,

The MCUXpresso IDE has Linux version for 64bit, did you try this before?

Have a great day,
Kan
