When using a LPC-Link2 debug probe (including those built in to LPCXpresso V2 / V3 boards) with the LPCXpresso IDE|NXP , the normal mode of operation is to soft-load a suitable debug firmware image when the first debug connection is made.
However in some circumstances - such as when using LPC-Link2 with another toolchain, the debug probe flash memory will need to be programmed with a suitable firmware image.
The recommended way of performing this task is to use the LPCScrypt|NXP flash programming tool.
This tool contains the latest versions of the NXP CMSIS-DAP (v5.112 or later) and Segger J-Link debug probe firmware, along with programming scripts and comprehensive documentation (attached).
The screenshot below shows LPCScrypt programming an LPC-Link2 debug probe:
To use:
- Install LPCScrypt
- For LPC-Link2: remove link JP1 (nearest USB), for LPCXpresso V2/V3: make DFU link
- Connect the probe to the host via USB
- Run the desired programming script
- For LPC-Link2: restore link JP1 (nearest USB), for LPCXpresso V2/V3: remove DFU link
- Re-power the board
For convenience, the programming operation can be performed from LPCScrypt Start Menu short cuts when running under Windows.
