PN7642 jlink error

[asknxp]

Hi there,

I have used the same PN7642 development kits(https://www.nxp.com/products/rfid-nfc/nfc-hf/nfc-readers/development-kit-for-pn7642-secure-compact-n...  and Segger J-link utra+(https://www.segger.com/products/debug-probes/j-link/models/j-link-ultra-plus/)

 for a while.

It works pretty well until two days ago.

The detail of the error message is the following. I am wondering if my dev board is bad or something like that.

Any idea what happened and how to fix it?

Thank you very much

OK. I think I found the documentation for Mass-storage mode to update the firmware.

https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN13134.pdf page 54.

However, I have no idea which file I should put.

I assume that should be a bin file format.

Here is the screenshot when board operates in Mass-storage mode.

OK. Here is what I did to solve the issue.

- After board operates in Mass-Storage mode

- Delete the CRP_00.BIN(180KB)

- Then copy one of the .bin application fw to the drive.

- Then my J-link works again.

Thanks Kelly for the hints.

Hi Kelly,

I believe I am using FW02.02. OK. I will try to update the firmware again. Do you have a quick reference for using Mass-storge mode to update the firmware?

Thanks.

Hello @asknxp 

What is your FW version? Or can you enter Mass-storage mode and update the firmware to the latest version (FW02.02)and try again.
