I'm developing for the FRDM-IMXRT1186 using MCUXpresso IDE v25.6.136. After downloading and installing the latest IDE from the official website, and then installing the latest SDK (26.06), I imported a sample project named frdmimxrt1186_rled_blinky_cm7. However, the mex file wouldn't open. So I upgraded the configuration tool, and now the mex file can be opened. But clicking "Debug" fails to connect to the development board, as shown in the image. What should I do?
(I've already tried upgrading the linkserver version, but it didn't work.)
#FRDM-IMXRT1186
#MIMXRT1180
Thank you for your letter.
Please check the LinkServer path currently used by the IDE in Preferences → MCUXpresso IDE → Debug Options → LinkServer Options in MCUXpresso IDE.
Please navigate to the LinkServer installation directory corresponding to this path and execute the following command to confirm whether the LinkServer can recognize the onboard debugger: linkserver probes
Please note that it is recommended to execute the command in this directory rather than directly in any command line window to avoid calling other versions of LinkServer in the system PATH.
If you have installed a different version of LinkServer, you can also try checking "Custom path" and specifying the corresponding LinkServer installation directory to prevent the IDE from still calling the old version or the LinkServer under an abnormal path.
I've tried everything, but it still doesn't work.
Hi @breeze_i ,
Thank you for your interest in the NXP RT product line and for using the NXP community.
Regarding your question, I suggest you check the following points:
1. First, check if the firewall or antivirus software is blocking localhost communication between the IDE/LinkServer/redlinkserv;
2. Do not continue testing in the original workspace. Create a new empty workspace and then re-import the demo.
3. Execute Clean Up Debug in the IDE, then close the IDE, unplug the development board/debugger, reconnect, and try Debug again.
Please check the above steps first.
Best Regards
May
