How to program rt1170-evk octal flash with JLink

[yf2]

Dear support,

We are trying RT1170-EVK with onboard JLink probe and octal flash. Our host side tool is JLink  v7.66a, especially the jLinkGDBServer command line tool. We followed suggestions as this old ticket, using JLinkGDBServer with latest RT-UFL extension, but we failed to program the octal flash successfully, detailed error logs can be found in jlink-win-octal-err.txt.  We can use the same JLink settings to download program to target RAM and run it.

This ticket is created as per suggestion in the old ticket, to avoid confusions, the old one was closed and linked to this one.

Regards,

yf2

About the jLinkGDBServer , the same operation, SWD interface, use device :MIMXRT1170_UFL_L0_Kerry, download app code to 0X30000000.

You can try it on your side.

Normally, we use IDE call JLinkGDBServerCL.exe.

Hi @yf2 ,

  Thanks for your cooperation.

   Now, follow me to test it first.

   You can use the same JLINK driver like me:

1. JLINK v7.60d download link:

https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/JLink_Windows_x86_64.exe

You can download it and install it.

2. use my attached file, as I already modify the RT-UFL RT1170 octal flash firmware, that is more good to use.

1)copy my folder iMXRT_UFL to your:

C:\Program Files\SEGGER\JLINKV760\Devices\NXP

2) copy evkmimxrt1170_iled_blinky_octalFlash_cm7.bin and JLinkDevices.xml to your:

C:\Program Files\SEGGER\JLINKV760

3. use JLINK commander to test it on your side:

C:\Program Files\SEGGER\JLINKV760\JLink.exe

Then the command like this:

Please note, the device select: MIMXRT1170_UFL_L0_Kerry

Then press the on board reset button, SW4, you will find the LED D6,D34 is blinking.

This is my app function: evkmimxrt1170_iled_blinky_octalFlash_cm7.bin

4. About the hardware

SW1:1-OFF,2-OFF,3-ON,4-OFF

SW4:1-OFF,2-OFF,3-ON, others off

Please try it on your side, after it works in the windows, then we can go the other steps.

Best Regards,

kerry

Hi Dear support
@kerryzhou 
  I followed you to test step by step.Except the version of JLINK driver.
But I can't Download evkmimxrt1170_iled_blinky_octalFlash_cm7.bin into the Octal Flash,Can you help me figure out what's wrong,My board is mimxrt1170-EVK,I have already set BOOT_CFG pin configuration are as follows

@kerryzhou 

Thanks for sharing your version of RT-UFL drivers for JLink. I've tried it with JLink v7.66a on Ubuntu and it can download my version of led_blink app to the target. After reset I can see LED blinking as expected.

Would you please teach what have been changed in your version of RT-URL? do I still need to trouble you again to make Hyperflash work later?  Sorry for too many questions as our goal is to use hyperflash but with RT1170-evk we can only verify octal flash.

Hi @yf2 ,

  I already write the document, and post about the detail RT-UFL modification for the RT1170 octal flash, a little long, but it should be useful to you!

https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-RT-Knowledge-Base/RT1170-Octal-flash-enablement/ta-p/1498369

  Any issues, welcome to create the new question post!

Best Regards,

kerry

[kerryzhou]

Hi @yf2 ,

   Don't worry, you are always welcome!

   Any issues, just free to let us know.

   If you have the hyperflash issues, in fact, the same operation. _L1/2 used for Hyper Flash, you still can use the RT-UFL, this flashdriver is very easy to use for the JLINK.

Hyperflash can use it directly. Just octal flash is a little different, that's why I modify it. You can use my modified file directly for octal flash.

  If you meet any issues, just create the new question post and let me know.

  About my changed version, you mean:MIMXRT1170_UFL_L0_Kerry, right?

Don't worry, in the near future, I will write a community document about the RT1170 octal flash and it's flashdriver, at that time, I will share all the detail points at that time.

In this time, for octal flash, just use my MIMXRT1170_UFL_L0_Kerry, for the hyperflash, use the original MIMXRT1170_UFL_L1.

Best Regards,

kerry

@kerryzhou. do you happen to have a UFL version that would work with Adesto EcoXIP octal flash also?

[kerryzhou]

Hi @jackking ,

  Adesto octal flash should be supported directly by the ongoing UFL.

  You can try it on your side, if you meet any issues, just create the question post and let us know.

Best Regards,

Kerry

@kerryzhou OK, I created a new post with the settings I have tried:  https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-RT/RT-UFL-settings-for-Adesto-EcoXIP-flash-to-work-with-J-Link/m-p...
