Is MCUXpresso/LPC-Link2 supported in macOS Mojave?

[shareefjalloq]

I've been trying various LPCXpresso boards in the hope of finding what is wrong with another issue I'm looking at but have noticed that only my V1 LPCXpresso boards are enumerating as DFU devices.  I've not tried them for a while so can't say if they worked before I updated to Mojave so it may or may not be related.

In my searching I've found a bunch of posts about how to manually boot the LPC-Link2 but this doesn't work for me.  If I plug in a V1 board and run "system_profiler SPUSBDataType" I can see the DFU device and can use boot_link1 to boot.  If I run a V3 board, in this case an LPCXpresso43xx, it doesn't enumerate as a DFU device.  This means when I try to debug a target I just get an error saying "LinkServer not found.".

Is this just a bug under Mojave or something else?

We haven't seen any issues with Mojave. What is the exact model of your Mac (as shown in "About this Mac" on the Apple entry of the top menu bar of your desktop)? And what version of MCUXpresso IDE are you running?

And how are your boards connected to your Mac - directly or through convertors or hubs?

Regards,

Sorry, ignore me.  After two days I've just found my issue - the USB cable I picked up seems to be power only.  :-(

Here's the output from 'ioreg -p IOUSB' for the V1 board:

...and the output from 'system_profiler SPUSBDataType'

When I run the same commands with a V2 or V3 board I get nothing.  In both cases I've got the LinkDFU jumper shorted.
