I am using PIO0_31 in my product which also happens to be the pin that is used to put the MCU into ISP mode at boot. Due to pin constraints, it is really difficult to use a different pin and I do not really intend jumping to the ISP modes using this pin.
Reading the User guide, it appeard that I can disable the ISP modes using the CRP register location in Flash. Reading through the documents here https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/user-guide/MCUXpresso_IDE_User_Guide.pdf Page 119, it sounds like the following code can instruct the linker to load in this setting to Flash:
__CRP const unsigned int CRP_WORD = CRP_NO_CRP ;
The doc also refers to a gui setting in the "linker tab" which I have been unable to find. I did find the code snippet in my startup_lpc5411x.c file. So I edited that file to:
//*****************************************************************************
// Variable to store CRP value in. Will be placed automatically
// by the linker when "Enable Code Read Protect" selected.
// See crp.h header for more information
//*****************************************************************************
#if !defined (CORE_M0PLUS)
#include <NXP/crp.h>
__CRP const unsigned int CRP_WORD = CRP_NO_ISP;
#endif
Re-build and program the device, it seems like the ISP is still enabled. I test by driving the PIO0_31 pin low (enables ISP) and I can see with the debugger that the CPU jumps to a bootloader. If I drive the pin high, code runs as expected.
So I'm confident that my method for changing CRP is not working, what is the recommended way, is there some GUI function that overrides it?
Hi Luke Beno,
From the MCUXpresso IDE user manual, we can get:
The new project create Wizard have the CRP options:
You can refer to this post:
How to create a new LPC project using LPCOpen and MCUXpresso IDE
After create it, then modify the crp.c file:
#if defined (__CODE_RED)
#include <NXP/crp.h>
// Variable to store CRP value in. Will be placed automatically
// by the linker when "Enable Code Read Protect" selected.
// See crp.h header for more information
__CRP const unsigned int CRP_WORD = CRP_NO_ISP;//CRP_NO_CRP ;
#endif
Then build the project again, you can find the .hex file, address 0x2fc already be changed to the CRP_NO_ISP data:
#define CRP_NO_ISP 0x4E697370
Then debug the code, check the memory:
The CRP data really be changed.
You can't make it work, you can check your hex file, whether 0X2FC have changed to 0x4E697370.
Just modify the data, and don't do the configuration in the IDE, won't realize the CRP modified function.
But, to the SDK, I still meet the same problem as you, I didn't find the CRP enable item in both the SDK create and SDK sample code, I will check it with our IDE department, after I get the reply, I will let you know!
Please wait patiently.
But if you are using the lpcopen, you can try my above method.
Wish it helps you!
Have a great day,
Kerry

I have the same problem. Can I set NO_ISP in SDK example?
