MCU Stuck in Reset – Unable to Debug via S32 Debug Probe

I am unable to debug the MCU using the S32 Debug Probe.

The status I observe is as follows:

  • SoC Reset: Asserted

  • SoC Type: GenericDevice

  • SoC IDCODE: 0xFFFF

  • SoC UID: 0xFFFF

When I attempt to start debugging, the following message appears during the board initialization stage:

ccs: Initialization sequence error in command 0x5

In addition, I have measured the MCU RESET_B pin, and it is continuously held at a low voltage level.

Could you please advise how to troubleshoot or resolve this issue?

Thank you for your assistance.

Could you specify used EVB?

Re: MCU Stuck in Reset – Unable to Debug via S32 Debug Probe

I am using a self-designed custom board, not the S32K148 EVB.

The MCU I am using is S32K148HAT0MLLT.

I am using S32 Design Studio (S32DS) together with the NXP Debug Probe.

I have tried both DEBUG_RAM and DEBUG_FLASH build configurations, but I am unable to connect in either case.
The error messages are shown in my previous post.

Regarding the hardware status:

  • The RESET_B pin remains at a low level continuously.
  • Even without connecting the Debug Probe, the RESET_B pin is still low.
  • During power-up, RESET_B does not go high even momentarily.
  • There is no external reset IC or supervisor on the board.
  • The SoC ID is read as 0xFFFF.
  • VDD, VDDA, and VDDIO voltages are normal.
  • The RESET_B pin has a 3.3 V pull-up resistor, and I have confirmed that it is not being pulled low by any external circuitry.
  • I have also confirmed there is no miswiring.
  • The RESET_B pin is connected to SWD pin 6 (nRESET) on the debug connector.
  • Even when the Debug Probe is not connected, SWD pin 6 (nRESET) remains low.
  • This board was working before, and the issue occurred suddenly during development, so it is unlikely to be a soldering or assembly issue.

 

At this moment, I am not sure what is holding the device in reset or preventing debug access.

Please help me analyze and resolve this issue. Thank you.
