Hi,

I've been working on a custom CMSIS-DAP implementation (derived from the mbed CMSIS-DAP sources). I've been able to get Keil and OpenOCD to detect my probe from the product/interface strings that contain "CMSIS-DAP", but LPCXpresso doesn't seem to detect it.

After doing some digging, I found that I can modify the probe matching rules in bin/Scripts/probetable.csv to include my VID/PID pair and it detects and uses my probe just fine after that. Since the fields in the table aren't really documented, I can't tell if the other fields would allow more sophisticated matching that doesn't rely on whitelisting every probe I want to use.

Are the rules that LPCXpresso uses to detect CMSIS-DAP probes documented somewhere?

I'm using LPCXpresso 8.0.0 Build 526 on 32-bit Debian Linux.

For reference, I've included the verbose lsusb output for my debug probe:

NXP has not advertised the probetable.csv format because we did not anticipate there would be regular additions. You might notice the probe table also contains entries for non CMSIS-DAP probes.

For CMSIS-DAP probes, LPCXpresso currently requires you add an entry to the probetable.csv file. Your CMSIS-DAP probe product string descriptor must embed the "CMSIS-DAP" sub-string within the USB product string descriptor.

We'll turn the attached information into a FAQ, but consider it a quick summary of the LPCXpresso probetable.csv format.

Thanks and regards,
LPCXpresso Support

Hi,

Thanks for the fast response. I know that I can always manually add entries to the probe table, but would it be possible to include a generic entry that matches CMSIS-DAP probes in a future release?

For example, after some experimentation, I've found that the following works for matching any probe using just the product description, ignoring the VID/PID:

0x0000, 0x0000, 64, 1, 0, 0, 0, "CMSIS-DAP", 0, -1

Admittedly, it would probably require some extra CMSIS-DAP queries to determine which capabilities the probe reports as available for SWD, JTAG, SWO, etc, but I think it would be useful to be able to use non-whitelisted probes, even with potentially reduced capabilities.

Thanks,
-Devan.

Hi,
In MCUXpressoIDE_11.4.0_6224 there was a change of the probetable.csv format. What is the additional parameter for?

Thanks,
Mirko
