MKE15Z256 Programming Flash

[Jmir]

Does anyone know if the ISP programmer (hardware) used in the LPC1224 (ARM M0) is compatible to program the MKE15Z256VLH7 through the GUI FLASH TOOL that is part of the MCUXpresso IDE?

The PE Micro's Multilink Universal is very expensive and that’s one of the reasons why I don’t want to use it because I’ll need several programmers. In the meantime I’m exploring Segger hardware and found this https://www.digikey.pt/product-detail/en/segger-microcontroller-systems/8-08-90-J-LINK-EDU/899-1008-...  . It can be used to program the MKE15Z256 flash width MCUXpresso IDE?

Yes, you can use Segger JLINK.

You also can use the LPC-LINK2:

This can be firmware with JLINK and CMSIS DAP.

 If you have the nxp FRDM board, you even can use the on board debugger.

Wish it helps you!

Well, what I'm thinking ... actually the ideal would be to be able to use the infrastructure that we already have, in this case our ISP programmers.

So taking into account that in general the capabilities of the ARM M0 + are sufficient for me in 64-pin LQPF package versions, is there any recommendation to maintain a processor in the LPC series that allows me to have a product expectation for 10 or 15 years? And in this way you can continue to use the firmware upload method by ISP?

HI Jmir,

  If you want to use the LPC chip, please create the question post in this area:

   Then our LPC engineer will help you！

Hi Jmir

   No, MKE15Z256VLH7 is totally not the same as LPC chip. 

  But MKE15Z256VLH7 has the ROM bootloader, you can download the SDK:

https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com/en/select

  The middleware select all, mcuboot

   mcuboot item has the related ROM tools, eg, kinetisflashtool can download the code to the MKE15Z256VLH7 chip through UART, USB HID.

   You also can use the MCUbootUtility tool to download the code through the SWD interface.

Wish it helps you!

If you still have questions about it, please kindly let me know.

Best Regards,

Thank you for your replay. 

But I need to use PE Micro's Multilink Universal, or is there a "universal" interface that I can use or build? (Even though this solution does not allow debugging)

[kerryzhou]

Hi Jmir

   SWD is the "universal" interface, you can use debugger like your mentioned Multilink, JLINK, or CMSIS DAP.

  But, if you use the ROM, you can use the KinetisFlashTool to download directly with the app .bin .hex etc file.  Debugger tool means you can do the debug function with the IDE. ROM app downloading, just the app downloading, no debug mode.

Best Regards,
