Debug interface recommendations for Kinetis and LPC?

[maithkano]

I do most of my development on the Kinetis series, and potentially some LPC parts in the near future. I've got a drawer full of debug interfaces from P&E Micro, including a Cyclone ACP that I use most.

I sometimes find myself switching from the $600 Cyclone to the $20 LPC-Link2 because the Cyclone has so many weird problems with MCUXpresso. Honestly the LPC-Link2 does most of what I need, it's just a bit slow.

Should I be looking at Segger interfaces? Can someone recommend a reliable, reasonably fast interface that's well-supported in MCUXpresso (and hopefully CodeWarrior 11 as well) that doesn't cause crashes all of the time, or fail to halt a running target? Trace support would be nice.

Thanks!

Hello

You could consider using SEGGER J-Link, P&E Cyclone or P&E USB Multilink.

For only MCUXpresso the recommended tools are MCU link in both versions

MCU Link JTAG/SWD Debug Probe | NXP Semiconductors

MCU-Link Pro Debug Probe | NXP Semiconductors

In CodeWarrior 11, the tool also supports Connection for P&E USB Multilink Universal FX / USB Multilink, P&E Cyclone, Open Source JTAG and Open-Source BDM.
