MK64FN1M0VMD12 | Flashing Issue

HariHaran4274 — Wed, 16 Oct 2024 13:17:42 GMT

Hello Community

We are trying to flash the MK64FN1M0VMD12 on a custom board with the help of FRDMK64F Evaluation Board (ported to SEGGER J-link).

We are following the same Connections, as NXP recommended

Note: J11 trace cut is done to use the EVB to flash the external MCU.

When we try to flash the external MK64FN1M0VMD12 we are facing the issue,

fl::target -lc "bringup1"
fl::target -b 0x1fff0000 0x40000
fl::target -v off -l off
cmdwin::fl::device -d "FTFE_PFlash1M0" -o "128Kx64x1" -a 0x0 0xfffff
cmdwin::fl::image -f "C:\\Users\\vvsa\\Downloads\\mcu-bringup1.bin" -t "Auto Detect" -re on -r 0x0 0xfffff -oe off
cmdwin::fl::erase image

but we are able to flash MCU present on the EVB itself.

Kindly help us on this..

Hello, my name is Pavel, and I will be helping on your case, I reviewed your information. The J9 is only for an end communication from the debugger, I mean with this could not communicate an external MCU.

The J9 is using for updating the firmware on the MK20 that acts as debugger on the board.
The J10 is for flash the MK64 interface as SWD to use with an external debugger.

This is a scenario that is not explored by NXP but maybe this thread could help you.

Hello Pavel, Thanks for the reply.

If that is the case, i will update you the test scenarios we have done so for.

1. Segger J-link with custom board : we have connected the Segger J-link with our custom board, there also we have faced the same issue.

console output :

fl::target -lc "gpiobin"
fl::target -b 0x1fff0000 0x40000
fl::target -v off -l off

2. Segger j-link with FRDMK64F : we have connected the Segger J-link to the J9 of FRDMk64f with j8 and j12 trace cut. here, we are able to flash the MCU.
