LPC-LINK2 with i.MX RT1064

[allen_tseng]

Hi

I want to design our own board with i.MX RT1064.

We have MIMXRT1064-EVK and LPC-LINK2(OM13054).

And I have some question.

1.Is possible to use LPC-LINK2 with MCUExpresso to debug and download program to the internal flash?

2.Can substitute LPC-LINK2 for J-Link?

Hi allen_tseng,

1.Is possible to use LPC-LINK2 with MCUExpresso to debug and download program to the internal flash?

Answer:

Yes, you can!

Please check the LPC-LINK2 webpage:

https://www.nxp.com/design/microcontrollers-developer-resources/lpc-microcontroller-utilities/lpc-li...

You can find it can support the MIMXRT1060.

When you use the JLINK firmware, please refer to this link:

https://www.segger.com/products/debug-probes/j-link/models/other-j-links/lpc-link-2/

You need to update firmware from image.

This is my log:

This is the MCUXPreso IDE debug with the LPC-LINK2 JLINK firmware:

2.Can substitute LPC-LINK2 for J-Link?

Note the information from the Segger side about the LPC-LINK2:

SEGGER created a firmware which runs on the NXP LPC-Link 2, making it J-Link compatible. In order to make use of this firmware, the following Terms Of Use must be accepted:

• The firmware is only to be used with NXP target devices. Using it with other devices is prohibited and illegal.
• The firmware is for use with evaluation boards only. It is not for use with custom hardware.
• The firmware may only be used for development and/or evaluation purposes. It may not be used for production purposes.
• The firmware is made available without any warranty and without support.

Wish it helps you!

Best Regards,

Kerry

1. Please refer i.MX RT1060 Crossover Processors for Consumer Products.pdf(page 10) it indicate that it same family and Booting operations are same.

2. For booting opearation  https://community.nxp.com/t5/LPCXpresso-IDE-FAQs/Booting-LPC-Link2/m-p/468103

hi allen,

1. Yes, It's possible  LPC-LINK2 with MCUXpresso to debug and download program to the internal flash.

2. Also use LPC-LINK2 instead of J-Link.

Hi kalaimani

Thanks for your reply.

1.But this page's table of supported devices, doesn't find i.MX RT1064.

So I ask the question, are you sure LPC-LINK2 can download program to i.MX RT1064's internal flash?

If yes, when i using LPC-LINK2, which boot mode I have to configure?

Thanks for your help.

This doc is a little old:

https://mcuoneclipse.com/2019/06/03/swo-with-nxp-i-mx-rt1064-evk-board/

This doc actually shows what jumpers to modify:

https://support.cranksoftware.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041660892-How-to-enable-performance-and-debug...

I've done this on my 1060evk and it works great, however, sometimes after flashing the debugger errors out and I just have to restart it.
