HVPKV58F PEMicro JTAG Debugging Issue

Error Messages

semihost ==> Could not connect to semihosting port ...

debugging console ==> monitor command not supported by this target

I bringing up the HVPKV58F board to try out some baremetal code that I developed on the twkv58f220m.

I am using MCUExpresso v10.31.1 (build 2233)

I have the HVPKV58F Expresso SDK install and I just trying to run hello world example.

My debugger is a PE Micro Multilink Universal FX.

When I launch the debugger it tries to debug but it gets to point (61% and dies)

Semihost console says

<terminated> - hpvkv58f_hellow_world PE Debug [GDB PEMicro Interface Debugging] Semihost Console

Could not connect to semihosting port due to connection timeout. Please check that the correct port number is configured.

Debugger Console says

(few more details)

Powering up HPV through USB 5V only not data lines

Powering debugger through J10 header

Normally debugging with 20 pin PE Micro Universal cable this target uses 10 pin cable.

Debugger seems happy both the blue and yellow lights are lit.

Hi Jeff,

Please download HVP-KV58 SDK from Welcome | MCUXpresso SDK Builder and try again.

Semihost use UART port. In HVP-KV58, openSDA connect to UART1. But in TWR-KV58, openSDA connect to UART0. So, semihost connection can't establish.

Jing

Jing,

>>Please download HVP-KV58 SDK from Welcome | MCUXpresso SDK Builder and try again.

I am importing hello_world application from the HVP-KV58 SDK v2.6 on MCUExpresso 11.0.1

Base on you suggestions this what I tried. See screen dumps and code.

OK here was what I tried this morning.

#ifndef _BOARD_H_
#define _BOARD_H_

#include "clock_config.h"
#include "fsl_gpio.h"

/*******************************************************************************
* Definitions
******************************************************************************/
/*! @brief The board name */
#define BOARD_NAME "HVP-KV58F"

/*! @brief The UART to use for debug messages. */
#define BOARD_USE_UART
#define BOARD_DEBUG_UART_TYPE kSerialPort_Uart
#define BOARD_DEBUG_UART_BASEADDR (uint32_t) UART1
#define BOARD_DEBUG_UART_INSTANCE 1U
...

I also tried to comment out the console. Just see if I could step through main.

void BOARD_InitDebugConsole(void)
{
uint32_t uartClkSrcFreq = BOARD_DEBUG_UART_CLK_FREQ;

/// \note JCM DbgConsole_Init(BOARD_DEBUG_UART_INSTANCE, BOARD_DEBUG_UART_BAUDRATE, BOARD_DEBUG_UART_TYPE, uartClkSrcFreq);
}

Similar results at the :

GDB CONSOLE

But this time I got the following error

---------------------------------------

However, I think I may have narrowed in this issue to be a FLASH write error.

PEGDBSERVER_CONSOLE OUTPUT

Loading programming algorithm ...
Done.
Programming sequency is : erase, blank check, program, and verify {default}

Command is inactive for this .ARP file.
VC is not implemented, falling back to VM

Byte in module is $00 and should be $02.
Current content of flash does not match application to be programmed
CMD>EM

Error Erasing flash of device
Error occured during Flash programming.

-------------

The question is why. Is the algorithm, the location or a issue with the hardware?

This is where I am at.

Hi,

HVP has on board openSDA debug port. Can you try to use it to debug? I wonder the openSDA's SWD signal may conflict with your PE.
