I made my own custom board using the MK64FN1M0VLL (same as on the Freedom K64F Mbed board) but I am having issues with flashing it (K64F not seeming to reply to any SWD commands). I have a feeling this is happening because the micro controller is not being correctly put and kept in a reset state when it should during SWD communications. To be clear, this is an un-programmed K64F fresh from the factory.
Below is the reset line when power is applied to the K64F. The line going high seems to make sense based on the MCU resetting itself due to as I understand this post here.
And here is me running an "unlock Kinetis" command in J-Link commander. Shouldn't reset be held low during this time?
There is a 50 uS gap between every 1.5 uS long spike at 3.3v.
Power is from USB 5V -> ferrite bead -> 10 uF capacitor -> 0.1 uF decoupling capacitor -> K64F 5v to 3.3v regulator -> 2.2 uF 3.3v output -> all VCC pins with their own 0.1 uF decoupling caps
I am using the internal regulator on the K64F to convert the USB 5 volts to 3.3 volts which is being used to power the K64F.
I connected Reset, SWD_DIO, SWD_CLK, Ground, and 3.3v (VTref, J-link uses this to sense the target voltage) to the Segger J-Link adapter.
Any suggestions on what the reset line should be doing during SWD communication? If I pull it low myself by removing the 4.7k pullup and adding a 4.7k pulldown, should the programming process still work? Are the Kinetis devices locked when fresh out of the factory?
Or, even better, does Freescale have bare minimum example for a K64F MCU to be able to be programmed fresh out of a factory using SWD?
Thank you for any potential help,
Marcin
Oh yeah, and here is the communication for the Segger J-Link adapter, which has been updated to the newest version:

And the zoomed in initial 3 dips on the SWD_DIO line:
After a few days of debugging, I found out what my issue was. I reversed the silkscreen for SWD_Trace and SWD_CLK on my PCB, causing me to always plug in SWD_CLK into SWD_Trace, hence the chip never seeming to reply. Whoops!
Turns out that SWD_CLK being pulled up via a 100k resistor makes it still work though, but for the next revision I will pull them down using a 100k resistor. Thanks for your help!
