Installation toolchain-gccarmnoneeabi in MCUXpresso

[Larz]

Goodday,

During a build in MCUXpresso I get 2 warnings (see below):

Seems that the package toolchain-gccarmnoneeabi needs to be updated .

Now I have found THIS package, but how can I install this in MCUXpresso?

When I'm trying to see if the JN5189 is connected, I got this error. Are the 2 errors related?

Checked all the hardware 3 times, all is good..

I would like to say that the build warning and the undetected debug probe are not quite related.

For the debug-related issue, is very difficult to pinpoint the exact root cause without experimenting with the actual HW...

Regarding the warning seen at build time, you're probably linking with "nosys.specs"? I suspect you're not using the Managed Linker Script mechanism, so I recommend you go through ch. 19 from the User Guide. Note that MCUXpresso IDE bundles an unmodified Arm GNU Toolchain and this is regularly updated in major releases (the next one planned is v11.10.0).

Regards,

Adrian

UPDATE: Still no connection. But I forgot to mention the hardware and what I've tried:

The chip is on a break-out PCB, connected to a external UART board which is connected with a Windows 11 machine. Installed is MCUXpresso IDE v11.9.0 [Build 2144] and installed the SDK_2x_JN5189DK6 v2.6.13. I'm trying to build a binary from the JN-AN-1244.

The chip has power, the TX and RX port are "high" in idle. When at startup (or reset) GPIO5/ISP_ENT gets connected to ground ("low" state), the TX and RX are still "high". I've tried to switch the TX and RX. 

I've checked all the connections (from input to the chip) and all is sollid. I've got the same setup with an JN5169 and that works just fine with beyondStudio. I've attached a Workspace log.

Do I miss any driverset or package here?

Hello,

Hope you are doing well. First of all, JN5189 and JN5169 are really different. There would be an error assuming they will work completely the same.

Where you able to flash JN5189 before?

If you are using MCUXpresso, you need to connect with a debugger. For example, for our JN5189-DK006, you need to connect through J15 (Link2 mini USB B-type connector).

Thank you for your reply.

I'm learning to work with the JN5189. So like I said in the previous message I have a fresh JN5189 on a PCB breakoutboard (Ebyte E180-Z8910SP).

My Question is if I must install extra drivers on top of the MCUXpresso installation?

What I said is the power on the chip and on the TX/RX pins. So do you have any more suggestions what I can check or must do?

Hello,

For specific support of your module, you would need to contact the Module Maker.

Talking just from the JN5189 IC perspective, if you are using MCUXpresso, you need to connect with a debugger.

Maybe you might be interested in our Advanced Development Kit for K32W061/41 and JN518x | NXP Semiconductors.

You can check on the IOTZTB-DK006 Development Kit User Guide how to connect the kit and use it with MCUXpresso.

Thank you for your reply.

I saw the developmentkit. In my country it costs  €610,63 / $656,84.

Thats out of my budget...

But summary: I can only learn to program with the example Application Notes like the JN-AN-1244, when I buy the  Advanced Development Kit for K32W061/41 and JN518x?

[Ricardo_Zamora]

Hello,

No, it would not be the only way. But something important to know is that most of our documents take as a base or Kit. Also, our Application Notes are implemented for our DK6 Kit.

You could take these AN's as a base to work with tour module, but how to integrate it with your module, it would depend on each customer.

For more information about this module, please contact the Module Maker.

Thank you for your reply.

Can I use the OM15080-JN5189 USB DONGLE also for development?

[Ricardo_Zamora]

Hello,

Yes, you can use it, but you need to take into account, that the AN's were made to work with DK6 kit, so some modifications should be made.
