getting started with mpc5602p

[vitaliharudka]

Hello. Today I got a custom pcb with mpc5602p on board for making new firmware. I am freshman in this series of MCU. I googled only CodeWarrior IDE and PE multilink debugger for this. Before I have experience with Freescale KEA series, STM32, TI Tiva C. I have segger j-link for debugging and flashing. Unfortunately, I can't buy evaluation kit or PE multilink for it. Is it possible to debug or just flash using segger j-link? Or is exist any other not expensive way to work with it?

Hi, please contact Segger support to know whether this MCU is supported:

I haven't found it on their web.

From NXP side, following board has OSJTAG on-board what cheapest solution for downloading the SW to the MCU:

I suppose your custom board has JTAG interface. In this case I would point out following thread:
