Debugger can't connect to iMXRT1062 board after wrong FlexRAM configuration

Hi,

I have been trying to reconfigure the FlexRAM of iMXRT1062 to the following setting: DTCM 256kB; ITCM 64kB and OC 192kB. 
One thing I already know I probably did wrong is setting the CM7_CFGxTCMSZ fields of IOMUXC_GPR_GPR14 register to 0s before setting them to proper values (9 and 7).
Here is the code snippet from startup_mimxrt1062.cpp that I used:

I also:

- changed Memory map configuration in MCU Settings:

- corrected memory regions in board.c like so:

Zu_1-1612256318288.png

The program was uploaded and started but during startup ran into an error (at the address that looks like it is exactly the line that is setting IOMUXC_GPR_GPR14 fields to 0).

Since then I cannot connect to my board anymore, this is error info I see when trying to Debug:
(P&E Connection Assistant starts first but after failed retries, it shows this)

Error in services launch sequence.
PEmicro GDB Launch Failure: The GDB Server was not able to establish a connection to the target processor. Please check your connections and power. Verify that the launch settings in the Debug Configuration are accurate.

Also, when trying to Erase the Flash MCUXpresso just hangs up forever.

Is it possible that this incorrect configuration somehow bricked my board? 
Do you have any tips on how to recover from such situation?

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Zuza C.

Hi,
Thank you for your interest in NXP Semiconductor products and for the opportunity to serve you.
Firstly, you can try to follow the below steps to recover.
1) Setting the boot pins to Serial Downloader;
2) Connect the Debug tool;
3) Power up the board and click the debug icon to enter debug mode.
Secondly, I'd like to suggest you refer to the AN12077 to demonstrate the FlexRAM configuration.

Have a great day,
TIC

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you very much for your guidance!
After setting the boot pins to SerialDownloader mode I was able to establish a connection with my board again.

I did also manage to set up correct FlexRAM configuration after analysing the AN12077 document and also this post on NXP community: https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-RT-Knowledge-Base/Reallocating-the-FlexRAM/ta-p/1117649 which described the implementation in a bit more details. 

Again thank you very much!
Greetings
Zuza
