Bricked PN5190

[OmriL]

Hi All,

Due to technical issues, the secure firmware download of my PN5190 was interrupted. Since then the 5190 is bricked. The Cockpit software can't connect to it anymore and when trying to enter download mode manually (reset while download pin is set) the IRQ pin won't raise and the 5190 won't reply via SPI.

I couldn't find any notes about a mass erase in the datasheet. Please help.

Thanks,

Omri.

Hi @OmriL :

Please try to recovery with sw6592.

Use MCUXpresso (MCUXpresso Integrated Development Environment (IDE)) and import the package of PN5190 Secure Firmware Downloader (https://www.nxp.com/webapp/sps/download/license.jsp?colCode=SW6592).

The detailed steps of installing and importing can be found here: PNEV5190B evaluation board quick start guide

There is no extra linker being required, since our board supports the OpenSDA (using the second available USB connector).

With this example, a valid PN5190 FW can be flashed.

When done, flash the K82 FW for the NFC Cockpit, e.g. the BootLoader_And_Nfcrdlib_SimplifiedAPI_EMVCo_Secondary_FSDI_8.bin from

c:\nxp\NxpNfcCockpit_v6.5.x.x\firmware\Secondary_PN5190\K8x\

Afterwards, everything must be running again with NFC Cockpit.

Regards

Daniel
