KV56 Does not run without debugger connected

[derekcook]

Hello, 

My hardware and software runs when the J-Link debugger is connected with the KV56 MCU, but if I disconnect the debugger via stop in MCUXpresso the code freezes and also if I power the board without the debugger connected the code does not run. 

Why would this be? Is there something I need to do in MCUXpresso to get KV56 to run without debugger connected?

It looks like the debugger unlocks the DWT but you have to do this yourself if not using the debugger. See this post: https://community.nxp.com/t5/Kinetis-Microcontrollers/KV58-DWT-Delay-Problem-DWT%E5%BB%B6%E6%97%B6%E...

I had to add this to the CM7 header

Then I had to add unlocking the DWT registers

Are you using printf with semihosting?

If so, not having the correct hardfault handler will cause your target to stop if you print something.
