Can't Debug LPC55s14 over SWD

Was able to debug once with LPC link2 but now I cant.

I've tried booting into ISP mode, mass erasing from the GUI tool, and using external power.

Thanks

The chip became locked after using mass erase from the GUI tool. I was able to unlock it by using Flash magic to program it over UART.

Hello toblerone,

"The chip became locked after using mass erase from the GUI tool."

->How do you know it locked after mass erase?

Does it can debug now after program using Flash magic?

Hi Alice_Yang,

I was able to repeat the issue with my custom board and with the LPC55s16 EVK dev board when using an external probe(LPC link 2). On the EVK dev board, using the on board probe would unlock the chip and allow debugging again. On my custom board, isp over uart through flash magic did unlock the chip and allow debugging again.

Thanks

Hello toblerone,

It is possible to download an image into the flash on the target that will then prevent any further debug access or connections. The classic cases of this are:

The image contains code that sets the MCU clocks up "incorrectly".
The image contains code that enables a watchdog timer.
The image contains code that puts the MCU into a very low power mode.
The image contains code that "switches off" some, or all of the multiplexed debug pins (JTAG/SWD).
