LPC54018JxM debugging internal flash example for Keil MDK-ARM

[ChrisN]

I have to port an application to this chip that has on-chip SPIFI flash. There are MCUX example that work fine on my board and I can debug from flash. But none of the examples for this chip for MDK-ARM does that, not the ones in the SDK nor the ones in the Keil packs. They all use a debug init file jlink_sramx_debug.ini for debugging from RAM, and don't seem to program the flash.

Also, the SPIFI descriptors in the startup only include the W25Q128JVFM and I don't know if that's a good fit for the on-chip W25Q32JV-DTR.

Am I missing something? Is there an example for Keil that does XIP debugging?

Thank you, Alice. Somehow I had missed these examples and they should be a good starting point.

Something rather important seems to be also this linker setting to make sure that the application is in fact linked to the flash memory:

Hello ChrisN,

You can refer to the XIP demos under SDK, for example hello_world_qspi_xip.

Add spifi programming algorithm in Flash Download:

If use J-link debugger,  configure as below:

About the two SPIFI flash, you can check their datasheet, and try to use. If there is no problem when using MCUXpresso IDE, It also should be work with KEIL.
