JLink Firmware for LPC55S69-EVK

idonxp — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 03:16:36 GMT

Hi,

As I understand, in order to run and debug an application on LPC55S69-EVK using gdb, the J-Link firmware needs to be flashed first using lpcscrypt.

Unfortunately, the latest lpcscrypt only includes an old J-Link firmware from 2016, which apparently is not compatible with ARMv8-M.

The getting started pdf includes a screenshot showing a newer firmware version from 2018, but I suspect an external debugger was used there. Is there a newer J-Link firmware available for the on-board LPC-Link2, which can be flashed with lpcscrypt?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

You can use either On-board debug probe (LPC4322 “Link2”) or external debugger prob to debug LPC55S69-EVK board.

1. For On board Link2 debug prob, connect on board J6 USB debug connector.

If you want to update on board Link2 firmware, you need use LPCScrypt.

LPCScrypt v2.1.0 | NXP

2. For external debugger, we recommend:

• LPC-Link2 (OM13054) debug probe from NXP or Embedded Artists

• SEGGER J-link probes (version 9 and older)
• P&E Micro probes
• Keil ULINK2 probes
• IAR i-Jet probes

For more information about LPC55S69-EVK board usage, please refer UN11158.

Have a nice day,

Jun Zhang

Hi,

Thanks for your reply!

I was referring to option (1), and as I mentioned LPCScrypt v.2.1.0 seems to include an old J-Link firmware for the LPC4322.

As a result, J-Link GDB server bails out with an ARMv8-M incompatibility error message.

Assuming that's indeed the issue, is there a newer firmware available which is compatible with ARMv8-M?

Thanks,

Ido.

Hi Ido,

On board Link2 debug prob Jlink firmware doesn't support LPC55S yet.

This is mentioned in UM11158

Please use CMSIS-DAP instead which is supported by LPCScrypt.

Have a nice day,

Jun Zhang

SEGGER J-link probes (version 9 and older)? Are you sure that shouldn't have been " SEGGER J-link probes (version 9 and later)"?

Yes, you are right.

I will feed back to document team.

Thank you for pointing out the typo.

Have a nice day,

Segger just updated their firmware and it now appears to support the LPC55S69-EVK. Observed behavior: You want the LPCXPresso ("OB") firmware not the LPC-Link2 firmware.

I wasn't able to get the CMSIS-DAP firmware to work (LinkServer could never find it), so this is a big improvement for me, notwithstanding the "nag screen".

Hey Bruce,

I'm running into the same issue on the LPC55S69. Could you or someone else clarify if it's possible to use the onboard Link2 debugger to debug ARMv8 architecture? When I flash the J-Link firmware using the LPCScrypt tools I'm getting the warning about not supporting v8.

Where did you get the LPCSXpresso OB firmware and how did you flash it? Or, did you end up using a SEGGER J-Link?

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure I started here:

https://www.segger.com/products/debug-probes/j-link/models/other-j-links/lpc-link-2/

There's a link to "Firmware_LPC-Link2" about halfway down. I used "Firmware_JLink_LPCXPressoV2_20190509.bin", though it looks like there's a newer one. This replaces the copy in the LPCScrypt "probe_firmware/LPCXpressoV2" folder. (Move the original somewhere else -- as I recall the .CMD file looks using a wildcard.)

I described how to program the on-board debug circuit of the LPC55S69-EVK as a J-Link in Internal and External Debug Options for the NXP LPC55S69-EVK Board | MCU on Eclipse , see section "Reprogramming the NXP LPC-Link2 as SEGGER J-Link".

I hope this helps,
