Ef(34): Timed-out initializing flash

[lhlonng]

Hi:

    MCU: LPC54018
    BOARD: LPCXpresso540xx Eval Brd Rev E

    Problem: can't program the flash，the error log from MCXpresso IDE is：

    "chip initialization failed - Ef(34): Timed-out initializing flash.

    failed to initialize flash driver LPC540xx_SPIFI_SFDP.cfx"

    the eval board can run the demo download before which compiled by myself.

    how can i fix it?

Hello ,

Please show your steps how to download and debug your project?

Also first use a SDK demo to test.

Hello ,

How about Remove JP5?

And how about enter ISP mode?
