Hi NXP,

I found in the release notes of MCUXpresso 11.4.0 an unknown NXP debug probe:

MCU‐LINK "Pro"

Is this a new developed debug probe? Is there more information available?

Best regards,
Sven

Hi @Svenifax 

FYI :  As Brendon said,  now we have  information for the probe on :

https://www.nxp.com/design/microcontrollers-developer-resources/mcu-link-pro-debug-probe:MCU-LINK-PR...

This probe is also Supported by Segger ( for evaluation and development purposes and only for NXP MCUs )

https://www.segger.com/products/debug-probes/j-link/models/other-j-links/mcu-link/

So now you can check it out, as it is the replacement for the LPC-Link 2, including interesting new features.

Yet, as far I know, stock is pending, as this is a new product.

Thanks for your interest in MCU-Link Pro - it is expected to be available in late September. I'll be posting all about it when we release!

Regards,

Brendon

I noticed the version of the debug probe firmware mentioned in the release notes is significantly higher than the currently shipping one (1.098) as well. Any hope for a new firmware release soon (maybe including a fix for the issue I encountered here: https://community.nxp.com/t5/MCUXpresso-General/MCU-Link-VCOM-bitrate-1-5Mbps-to-3Mbps-range/m-p/131... ) ?

Already in 1.098 it will enumerate in various "modes" depending on hardware pin strapping (Trace and Power in various combinations)

Hi @wj_ueos 

Thanks for your patience, an official release is due next week for the MCU-Link firmware.

However, as our colleague said in the post that you mentioned , he does not see any reason of why we should not include your patch to increase the MCU-Link bitrate in   a future release.
