LPC54018 driver Init provided no flash parameters

[KTech]

Hallo everyone,

I recently created a new project in MCUXpresso to work with FreeRTOS on my LPC54018 on the OM40003 Bord. Sadly, every attempt to start a debugging session ends in an “Driver V.2 dynamic startup failed - driver Init provided no flash parameters” Error. (detail below)

Even with the example Projects / clean FreeRTOS I encounter the same problem. As an older example Project worked on my Controller, I started to test different SDK versions. In version 2.8.2 and 2.6.0 neither new Projects nor examples worked. On the 2.3.0 Version only example Projects could run.

I also noticed the default SPIFI driver was changing from LPC540xx_SPIFI_GENERIC.cfx to LPC540xx_SPIFI_SFDP.cfx. sadly, I found no further information about those.

As I tried to flash the controller directly with the MCUExpresso flashing tool and the good version from the 2.3.0 SDK, I got another error: “File 'lpcxpresso54018v2.3_shell.axf' load failure: Ef(11). No flash configured.” Flash attempts with the other non debugable version got me back to the old error. But this time with a minor variation. “Terminate (0x0, 0x0, 0x0) status 0x40 - driver reports init failure - EXTSPI driver rc 15 (0xF)” instead of the former “Terminate (0x0, 0x0, 0x0) status 0x40 - driver reports init failure - EXTSPI driver rc 13 - No supported SPIFI device found”

It’s probably also worth mentioning, that I have to boot the controller into a non-default boot state (ISP-Mode) or end up with an “Cannot halt processor” error.

Also, I tried vector catch as mentioned in the various other posts with a similar problem.

Thanks,

Hello KTech,

Try to erase chip based on ISP mode:

pressing ISP button and do not release,  and click erase button as below:

Pay attention, open a new workspace and import new led project to try.

Hallo Alice

thank you very much, after the Mass erase I can now debug again. Pressing the ISP buttons for the entire time when using the chip tool was the solution.

PS: for everyone with the same problem ISP button 0 was the one to press.  

Thanks,

Hello,

Please first use a simple demo project LED to test.

If still can't work, please take a video or screenshots show your steps.

Does your board can work well before?

Hallo Alice,

yes my board worked well bevor, using mainly test projects from the 2.3.0 SDK Version.

Now I cannot get anything to work being created from the newer SDK versions, while the old 2.3 examples are still running fine.

Gpio_led_out SDK version 2.8.2

1. I click import SDK example.
2. I select the LPC54018 Board.
3. I select the LED-project. (See image)
4. I reset the LPC-Bord by pressing reset and Button 1 for SPI Boot mode. Otherwise, I get the cannot hold processor error
5. I start Debugging.
6. I confirm the Probe selection.
7. Error (See images)

This very exact process works fine with v2.3.0 examples but fails as soon as I try the same with a new project.

Thanks,
