LPC54606: Problem with the Software Dowload

[Rainbow73]

I've been working with LPC54606 and MCXpresso (version MCUXpresso IDE v11.1.0 [Build 3209] [2019-12-12]) for several months with no issues, downloading code via the LPC-LINK2 USB connection.
Now suddenly I can't download and I get the error "03: Failed on chip setup: (Ep.04) Cannot halt processor".
I also tried to do the Flash operation of Program (mass erase first) and the only operation of Mass Erase.

Unfortunately the result does not change.

Do you have a suggestion how to restore it?
Here's the console output in MCUXpresso:

Thanks for your help

There is not the possibility to enter in this ISP mode.
One question: The LPC-LINK2 USB connection doesn't it put LPC54606 in boot mode?
At least the flash erase shouldn't work?

Thanks so much for your help

Hello,

No, LPC-link2 can't put chip into BOOT mode.

It maybe can't connect if it can't enter ISP mode, also can try to have a look at this thread:

https://community.nxp.com/t5/LPCXpresso-IDE-FAQs/Regaining-debug-access-to-target-MCU/m-p/473923  

And also try to update the firmware lpc-link2, but it seems not the debugger issue.

Regards,

Alice

Hi Alice,

I solved my problem by setting flash erase into "Flash Tool GUI" with the following options:

Reset the target on connection (Check box)

Reset Handling -> VECTRESET (Drop-down menu)

Reset Flash -> VECTRESET (Drop-down menu)

After doing this, the SW download worked.

Thanks again for the help

Hello Rainbow73,

Can your chip enter ISP mode? Try to enter ISP mode and erase all to have  a try.

Alice
