FRDM-K64F cannot download stable from MCUxpresso

niz — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 15:01:46 GMT

I cannot download the SDK examples from MCUXpresso to the FRDM-K64F evaluation board consistently, I need to plug in and out the USB several times to make it go through.

I always have the following error:

The red LED is always on near the green LED when the issue happens.

I just use the SDK example and debug from the MCUXpresso, nothing else.

Could somebody suggest what might happen here?

Thanks a lot for your help

Hi @niz

It might be that the middleware in your board is outdated. Please look through this guide and update the OpenSDA version;

https://www.nxp.com/design/software/development-software/sensor-toolbox-sensor-development-ecosystem/opensda-serial-and-debug-adapter:OPENSDA#FRDM-KW38

After this, try installing the SDK again onto your board. If this doesn't work, please tell me to search alternatives.

Best regards, Julian

Hello Julian

I got another FREEDOM64F board, and after doing the same updating the SDK process, my PC can detect the FRDM_K64FD in the Portable Devices, however, the red light is always on and the MCUXpresso cannot detect the SWD, is there any way to take care of that issue?

Thanks a lot for your help

Hi @niz,

The constant red LED means your boards is constantly resetting. Here is a similar case you can consult for the solution: Solved: New FRDM-K64F resets after 30 seconds - NXP Community

Hope it helps!
