We are using JTAG ultra in SWD mode.

Also we are not able to detect in serial downloader.

Attached is the error while connecting in serial downloader mode.

Hi,
Thank you for your interest in NXP Semiconductor products and for the opportunity to serve you.
I'd like to suggest you upload the schematic of the custom board, further, I guess these issues are related to the hardware, so you'd better check it, such as boot mode setting, power supply, etc.
Have a great day,
TIC

Attached is our custom board schematics.We have burnt the fuse for default flash/boot from QSPI NOR flash.Past 1 month we are working there is no issue found while flashing and debugging.

So our boot mode setting is 00 - Boot from Fuse

We checked our power supply rails,all are fine which is input to MCU and output voltage from internal LDO of MCU.

Hi，
Thanks for your reply.
Can you share the schematic of the QSPI flash?
Further, you can try this trick to recover.
1) Set the Boot mode pins to Serial Downloader.
2) Power on the board, and debug the demo project.
3) After that, power off and recover the Boot mode pins to the previous set, then power on again.
4) Give a debug again.
Have a great day,
TIC

Thanks for solution. It worked as you said we tried demo project through serial downloader then by JTAG.

I am curious to know the reason where it got struck?

What may be the possible reasons?so that next time we will take care of that

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
From my experience, I guess the issue is related to the flash driver for the external flash, it may sometime work unstably.
Have a great day,

Hello @jeremyzhou,

I'm also facing this issue in my board but im using MIMXRT1064 microcontroller in my boards. It is observed the when we connect the board with JTAG debugger while development it is happening. Can you help us in resolving this issue.

Thanks and best regards,

Lohith V

I ran into same issue when i tried to call GPT_SoftwareReset(GPT1).

The MCU became unresponsive and JTAG (segger or CIMS DAP) was unable to find it.

As a solution, i removed GPT_SoftwareReset , recompiled the source, changed bootloader to serial, connected the JTAG & then put the bootloader pins to Flash.

Then I was able to connect back with JTAG.

@jeremyzhou Thanks for the tip. It saved my day!
