Getting Started guide for FRDM-KW40Z IAR gives error message Fatal error: CPU did not power up

[tjoncas]

When following the Getting Started guide for FRDM-KW40Z (NXP Freedom Development Platform for Kinetis |NXP ), upon reaching step 3 "build and run", using ANY of the sample projects, during the step to download and debug (see http://cache.nxp.com/files/32bit/doc/user_guide/MKW40ZSMACSW303QSG.pdf ), I get a message box that says "Fatal error: CPU did not power up. Session aborted."  I notice in the debugger log that the last line before an error is always "Loading the CMSIS-DAP driver ".  Both boards definitely work with the pre-programmed sample program so I don't think they came dead on arrival.  Does anyone have any advice?

Hi Tom,

I recommend to take a look to this previous threat.

Fatel error:cpu did not power up session aborted!

It shows the resolution for the same problem with another customer.

I hope this information helps.
