Help needed to recover a qn9080-dk

anderstietze — Thu, 07 Dec 2017 09:57:22 GMT

I have been trying to program the flash from the USB mass storage interface in ISP mode.

I have used the following method from Linux:

dd bs=1024 conv=nocreat,notrunc if=ble_power_profiling.bin of=”/media/CRP DISABLD/firmware.bin”

After that the Bluetooth chip won't boot, and when I am using MCUXpresso IDE to download code, it fails with "Flash driver failed to initialize". The Bluetooth chip is able to enter ISP mode(Mass storage device is present), but I'm not able to flash the device using the JTAG on the DK-board.

I need help to recover from this error.

Best regards,

Anders Tietze

Hi Anders Tietze,

I believe the chip memory was left in a locked state and the CMSIS Debug adapter can't perform a mass erase to unlock the memory. Please try debugging with the JLink debugging interface. A similar window as below should appear if the memory is locked. Press Yes to perform a mass erase.

Note:

To update the debugging interface, please follow the instructions from the 7 Appendix B - Updating Debugger firmware in the "C:\NXP\SDK_2.2_QN908xCDK_Beta\docs\Getting Started with MCUXpresso SDK for QN908x.pdf" document.

Regards,

Gerardo

Hi gerardorodriguezespinoza,

I'm having the same issue when trying to debug the power profile example on the QN9080 Development Board. What can I do to recover the chip if I don't have a JLink debugging interface?

Kind regards,

Khanh Huynh

Hi Khanh Huynh,

The on-board debugging circuit (LPC-Link2) in the QN9080DK is capable of running a JLink debugger interface. You can refer to Appendix B - Updating Debugger firmware in the "<QN908x SDK >\docs\Getting Started with MCUXpresso SDK for QN908x.pdf" document or alternatively to section 4.4 Update debugger firmware to support J-Link/CMSIS-DAP of the QN908x Quick Start User Manual.
