LPCXpresso824 MAX debug probe configuration

mlp — Tue, 26 Sep 2017 01:57:37 GMT

Newbie question: is the debug probe configured through the USB cable or some external connection? I've configured the MCUXpresso IDE (board: LPCXpresso824 MAX) and debug says "No compatible probes available". I thought that the IDE would see the debugger through the USB connection... if not, can someone point me to literature on how to configure? Thanks!

You almost certainly need to install the "mbed serial port driver". There is a link to this driver available in the IDE's Help -> Additional Resources menu.

The requirement for this driver is described in the board's user manual (available from LPCXpresso824-MAX Board for LPC82x family MCUs|NXP ) and also mentioned in section 3.2, "LinkServer Debug Connections" of the MCUXpresso IDE v10.0.2 User Guide.

Hopefully once you have installed this, you should be up and running.

Hi Martin,

You may be interested to know that we recently released a new set of debug firmware and Windows 7 drivers for our boards that feature the LPC11U3x MCU as a debug probe, you can find detailed information on this document:

Hope it helps!

Thanks for your help... I was able to get the driver installed and everything then did work fine. Since then, though, I've developed a different problem that I have put in a separate question.
