Hello,

I cannot download my example binaries compiled with LPCXpresso to my LPC1769 device.  I'm using Debian 6.0.4. I think that the problem is related to dfu-util. When I do the download manually like this:

sudo dfu-util -d 0x471:df55 -c 0 t 2048 -R -D LPCX176x_cmsis2_systick_twinkle.axf

I get the following error:

dfu-util - (C) 2007-2008 by OpenMoko Inc.

Any idea how to fix this?

I tried it from inside a VM running Ubuntu 12, and it works "out of the box" :) The problem seems to be specific to my Debian version.

Did you read the Linux notes?

Thanks for the reply! I followed your instructions:

./crt_emu_cm3_nxp -wire=winusb -pLPC1768 -flash-load-exec=~/temp/lpcworkspace/LPCX176x_cmsis2_systick_twinkle/Debug/LPCX176x_cmsis2_systick_twinkle.axf

And got the following error:

Ni: LPCXpresso Debug Driver v5.0 (Feb 14 2013 02:07:29 build 1131)

Ee(36). libLPC_Link.so file load error.

Et: Failed emulator initialization: E(xx). WinUSB driver load/install error: libLPC_Link.so. libusb-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm not sure which file cannot be found: libLPC_Link.so or libusb-1.0.so.0? Both files are present in the lpcxpresso/bin directory from where I ran the flash programming utility. Any ideas?

It does not work because you are trying to download your image to the LPC3154 on LPC-Link.

If you want to download your image the the LPC1769 *via* the LPC-Link, you need to use the command line flash programming tool:
