Hello everyone,
I've recently purchased an MCU-Link debug probe and I'm trying to update the firmware, but it looks like I'm facing an issue. According to the installation guide, there are 2 ways of accomplishing this: either use linkserver to run the auto update command or run the program_CMSIS script.
I was not able to update the firmware using either of the methods. At first, I tried auto update anyway even though the current firmware was 0.078, but it gave me an unexpected error saying that the probe was not enabled for debug instead of saying that the firmware was too old to use this method.
So I went with the other method where I inserted the jumper J3 to put it into ISP mode and then reconnected the MCU-Link. The red LED lit up and I then ran the program_CMSIS script in shell, to which it said to put the board in ISP mode even though I just did.
I've tried updating the other probes as well as switching computers, but I still ran into the same problem. I'm not sure how else I could update the firmware at this point so I'd appreciate it if someone could point out what the problem is.
If this helps somehow, whenever I put the probe into ISP mode, reconnect the USB, then run the "linkserver probes" command, it fails to detect the presence of the probe. So I suspect that the problem is the probe somehow can't be detected when it's in ISP mode.
Thank you and I look forward to responses!
Hello, my name is Pavel, and I will be supporting your case, if you have the LinkServer_24.+.+ installed please use the file with name MCU-LINK_installer.
Best regards,

Hi Pavel,
I believe that you're trying to tell me to run the program_CMSIS script in ISP mode, which is what I did, and it did not work as it kept telling to put the board in ISP mode despite having done so.
Fortunately, however, I was able to update the firmware using an old laptop that was collecting dust in my closet for like a year. The method was exactly same as before where I ran the program_CMSIS script in ISP mode and the firmware got successfully updated. I could then see the red LED fading on and off.
That said, it still doesn't explain why it keeps failing to update on both of my current PC and laptop (they're both less than a year old). I'm not too sure if it has anything to do with Windows updates that mess with the USB stuff or whatnot. My 2 laptops and PC are currently on Windows 11. Just throwing these pieces of info out here in case they're of any help.
Thank you Pavel and I appreciate your response regardless.
Hello, I test it on my side and the auto program is not supported by old version I saw your device has 0.0.78. This method does not work on ISP mode.
And about the ISP issue seems is isolate on your computer I could not offer another kind of solution.
Best regards,
Pavel
