Mcuxpresso LPC-Link2 not working on a new computer

[p0ulp3]

Hello,

I have been using MCUxpresso for a few years with a valid project for LPC11C24. It worked fine both for compiling and flashing the target board.

I have just received a new computer (brand new), and installed Mcuxpresso on it, in order to check everything is alright. But I cannot flash the target even if I am using the same target, same USB cable, same LPCxpresso debug probe !

The error is always :

Error: Probe not open

If I unplug the board from the failing computer and plug it to the old computer, it works ! So it cannot be the LPC-Link2 probe or its firmware.

I cannot use anymore this old computer. The new one is a Dell, core i7 etc nothing exotic.

What can I look for to investigate ?

I tried to reinstall the drivers, to reinstall even windows without success !

The device appears as "LPC-LinkII UCom Port" (pilote 2.0.0.0) and as "LPC based USB device" in the device manager.

I have tried many different USB ports without success.

The target board is powered by an external power supply, the red led of the debug probe is always blinking.

The autorizations are fine in the Firewall of Windows.

Please any help will be highly appreciated ! I suspect I am missing something but I cannot see what.

Regards

Try a different USB port. So,e USB ports are not capable of supplying sufficient power.

[p0ulp3]

Hello, unfortunately I have already tried all USB ports and also a USB hub with external power suppli without success.

The log you posted indicates JTAG is selected, but LPC11 is SWD only. Is you debug setup correctly?

[p0ulp3]

Hello, here is a similar log but from the computer working. I think that the JTAG is selected at start but then if the function ProbeOpenByIndex works, then WireSwdConnect will select the SWD instead.

The issue is that I don't see a delta in the log between both computers.. except the ProbeOpenByIndex function not working.

Hi

I suggest you follow below link to check your LPC Link2 issue.

https://community.nxp.com/t5/LPCXpresso-IDE-FAQs/LPC-Link2-fails-to-enumerate-with-CMSIS-DAP-firmwar...

Try to use LPCScrypt to update LPC Link2 firmware with Jlink, see how it works.

Have a nice day,

Jun Zhang

Hello,

Thanks for the hint, but it wasn't successful. I have tried to check the installed drivers using your link, it appears both the 1.0.0.0 and 2.0.0.0 were available, but the version 2.0.0.0 was the one used (based on the device manager). I have uninstalled the 1.0.0.0 drivers, rebooted, no success. I have tried also LPCScrypt, and reboot, without success.

My list of driver is 100% identical to the one of the working computer but it still not works. 

Could it be something related to the last version of windows ?

In the device manager, on both computers, I see the same behavior, the lpc based usb device is active, then it becomes inactive and the LPC-LinkII UCom Port (COM6) becomes active. But only one of the computers works.

You are talking about updating the firmware of the LPC-Link2 with Jlink but reading the NXP doc, I was thinking that the firmware was updated each time I perform a debug ? So it will be reseted if I update it no ?

[p0ulp3]

Hello again,

After updating the firmware to the JLink version, the GUI Flash tool appeared to be working.

The debug wasn't but after a search here : https://community.nxp.com/t5/MCUXpresso-Community-Articles/MCUXpresso-IDE-v11-0-1-Segger-LPC-Debug-H...

I can now Flash and also Debug with a Jlink probe (even if it's always the LPC-Link2), but I have kept the JP1 jumper on. Nothing to worry about this ?

I still think there is some issue with the compatibility of Windows with the CMIS-DAP firmware, anyway thanks all for the support, I highly appreciate and can continue working

Have a nice day.

[ZhangJennie]

After updating the firmware, fit JP1 to use it as a programming tool . then reconnect the board to the host computer. You should see the debug probe enumerate on the host’s USB system.

Have a nice day,

Jun Zhang
