Debug Restart not working on RT1062

[mspenard603]

Hi Gents,
Question on using MCUexpressoIDE with a RT1062 SoM that uses EcoXiP external flash...

If I'm running in debug mode and I click on the Restart icon it doesn't restart back at the first instruction in main(). I have to close out of the debug session and start back up. Any thoughts as to how to get this working as it should?

Below is my Debug Console output:

004A000 done 100% (303104 out of 301392)
Erased/Wrote sector 0-73 with 301392 bytes in 16769msec

Hi Mike Spenard,

Thank you for your interest in NXP Semiconductor products and for the opportunity to serve you.
It seems bit weird, to figure it out, I'd like to replicate the issue on my site, so I was wondering if you can tell me which exactly demo you ran, is it from the SDK library?
Looking forward to your reply.
Have a great day,
TIC

TIC,

 Any of the example projects from the SDK do this. I'm debugging an iMX RT1062 on a SoM from Embedded Artists. Who reported "This is unfortunately a limitation with MCUXpresso (at least in combination with the iMX RT processor). It works when using Arm/Keil uVision or IAR Workbench."

Their flash is setup as follows:

"6. Click and change the Size for BOARD_FLASH from 0x4000000 to 0x400000

7. Click in the table cell for the driver and then on the small button that appears. Change the Driver for BOARD_FLASH from MIMXRT1050-EVK_S26KS512S.cfx to MIMXRT1050-EcoXiP_ATXP032.cfx "

Hi

Thanks for your reply.
I've run the hello_world on the MIMXRT1062 board, during the debugging, the Restart feature works well,  
thus I don't encounter the phenomenon you mentioned.
In the user guide, it just illustrates the process of debugging of i.MX RT1052,  for i.MX RT1062, it's a bit different, it's hard to say that the MIMXRT1050-EcoXiP_ATXP032.cfx is also suited for the i.MX RT1062.

Have a great day,
TIC

Hrmm, that is the right flash driver, I checked with EmbArt. 
I'm still at a loss, all I can assume is something with MSP or R13-R15 or something isn't being setup right. So I've opened a support ticket. As I really need to figure this one out, it's going to kill workflow for us here. Where else should I be looking for debug/logging info?

Hi Mike Spenard,

Whether the EmbArt supporter had already replicated your issue, in further, I was wondering if you're able to download an application to the iMX RT OEM board without using the IDE by following the 8 Standalone Program Download chapter describes.
Have a great day,

Never did find a solution to this issue. Curious if anyone is aware of what is the cause now...?

[mspenard603]

Yes, that works ok.

is there an update on this issue? Have it too... Thanks!
