How to get started using LPC1830-Xplorer with LPC-Link2 and LPCXpresso 7.0 IDE?

Maybe I am a little slow, but I am on a very tight schedule, and I cannot find any clear instructions for configuring the IDE and Link2 to download and debug code (LPCXpresso v7.0.0 [Build 92] [2014-02-20]) on Windows 7).

I have run the built-in USB demo on the board.

The boards are connected as described in LPC1930-Xplorer Quick Start Guide (J7 on the Link2 connected via the 10-pin ribbon cable to the 1830 board, JP2 closed to power the 1830 board from the Link2). BTW, flashing the factory default board test binary as described in the Quick Start does not work: you provide a .bin file, but the 7.0 IDE is looking for a .axf file).

Built the blinky demo, then click "Debug 'freertos_blinky' [Debug]".

RedLink Server console output is:

I searched the forum and can only find a post indicating you don't support the Link2 in the IDE version 5. I assume, because you shipped the Link2 with the Xplorer board, that you do support the 1830 board and the Link2 with the version 7 IDE (the latest available as of Bef\ruary 2014).

I need some guidance quickly.

Thank you in advance.

I don't see anything there relevant to what I am seeing. As far as I can tell, I have things setup correctly (at least things are setup as described in the FAQs). I am either building the project wrong, or the connection to the Link2 is not configured correctly. I have found nothing that specifically talks about IDE version 7, the LPC2830-Xplorer board and the Link2.

If anyone has successfully used LPCXpresso 7 with the LPC21830-xplorer, please let me know how you configured things.

There is lots of information if you go to the FAQ section of this website and search for "lpc18"
