Using LPC-Link2 or waiting for LPC-Link3

Is there any advantage using LPC-Link2 instead LPC-Link while programming / debugging a LPC17xx with SWD?

Is it faster or does it include new features?

Thanks...

To close this thread with results:

Measuring a 33.6kB writing time (LPC1769):

Link:  4856 ms
Link2: 3011 ms

So it's about 38% faster in this case.

Documentation is a shame, no official schematic, no hint about usage of JP2 and what for are all these connectors...

When do you expect to have LPC43xx support ready?

Support for debugging LPC43xx via LPC-Link2 is currently in active development (and was demoed this week at the Design West show in San Jose, CA). We hope to release this support in the next month or so.

Thus at the present time to debug LPC43xx parts using LPCXpresso IDE, you need to continue using the original LPC-Link, else Code Red's Red Probe+.

OK, this was important information I have not seen anywhere in the LPC-Link2 product information(!)

When do you expect to have LPC43xx support ready?

Thanks, so I assume that LPC-Link2 is in mass production and will be available in Germany (from Farnell or Watterott) in the near future?

LPC-Link2 should be noticeable faster than the original LPC-Link at general debugging tasks. With regards to download speeds, testing here using LPCXpresso 5.2.2 on Mac OS 10.7.5 connecting to an LPC4078 target and flashing 48180 byte image gives:

LPC-Link : <13s
LPC-Link2 : < 6s

Actual speeds will of course depend upon a number of factors including host OS, target MCU and tools version used.

Note that with the current LPCXpresso v5.2.2 release, LPC-Link2 can be used with LPC800, LPC11, LPC13, LPC17 and LPC4078_8x MCUs. Support for other NXP Cortex-M based MCUs is under development - so for example we have been demonstrating prototype connections to LPC43xx this week at the DesignWest show.

Sometimes NXP RSS is useful: http://www.nxp.com/news/receive-news/rss-feeds.html :)

[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]LPC-Link2, LPC-Link3?

What are you referring to here?

Please "cite your source" and give links to info about these
(presumably) new bits of kit.

Regards, Mike
