LPC54018 Error on programming flash (Ef(11). No flash configured.)

[MRenshaw]

Hello,

I have been trying to program the external flash on a LPC54018 Dev board (OM40003) and have been unable to get it working. I am using the latest version of MCUXpresso IDE, trying to program on the lwip_udpecho demo from the LPCXpresso54018 SDK. I am using default settings and get the following log in the terminal:

I have had success erasing the flash following the same process but selecting "Mass Erase" after connecting to the device using the GUI Flash Tool, this was certainly a success as the pre-loaded program on the dev board no longer run on power on.

Is there something I have missed where I have to configure the flash separately?

Many thanks

I am getting the same error, I have a custom board with controller lpc540s16. 

If I have "Link application to RAM" selected, that means the controller should not touch the ROM and download and execute from RAM, is that right?

I get this error when "link application to RAM" is selected

and I get this, when "Plain load image" is selected

Hello,

Use the GUI Flash Tool ease the whole flash firstly.

If still work, please pressing ISP button in the whole erase/program or debug time .

Hello there I'm having the same issue that NVazquez had with a mimxrt1020 MCU and a Link to RAM application, I even tried using the GUI Flash Tool and I have the same result. It works when I debug the board but I'm in the process of creating the flashing script for releasing our product, that's why we need to make it work without the MCUxpresso IDE.

I'll appreciate any idea. Thanks in advace.

Hi,

When attempting a full flash erase I got a similar error to trying to write it:

However I had previously tried a flash erase that was successful and had wiped the built-in demo off the board.

Hello ,

I recommend the last try： Change to a new USB line, open a new IDE workspace, open simple hello world project, use "Debug" button ：

If still can't work. Maybe there is a broken image in your flash, recommend use blhost erase the whole flash , detail steps please refer to:

Hello MRenshaw,

How about program hello world or simple LED sdk demo?

Please take a video or screenshots show your steps.

[MRenshaw]

I have tried programming the Hello World demo, it has the same error.

Here is how the board is plugged in:

Here is the device selected in the GUI Flash Tool:

Here are the settings used when programming the board:

I have also tried to program using the .bin file generated by the build but also had the same error.

The build settings have not been touched since importing the SKD example projects so are as default.

Hello MRenshaw,

Please configure board refer to readme. txt under project, and also make you use the right SDK related your board.

Hi Alice,

The SKD is for the correct board and the board is configured as described in the readme.
