Programming and Debugging
Flashing
The LPCXpresso11U68 board can be flashed by using the on-board LPC-Link2 debug
probe (based on a NXP LPC43xx MCU). This MCU provides either a CMSIS-DAP or
a J-Link interface. It depends on the embedded firmware image. The default
OpenOCD configuration supports the the CMSIS-DAP interface. If you want to
switch to J-Link, then you need to edit the
boards/arm/lpcxpresso11u68/support/openocd.cfg file and to replace:
source [find interface/cmsis-dap.cfg]
with:
source [find interface/jlink.cfg]
Note
The firmware image of the LPC-Link2 can be updated using the LPCScrypt tool.
Note
The Mbed project also provides some firmware images here. In addition to a CMSIS-DAP interface, they also provide a convenient update mechanism through a pseudo USB disk.
Here are the steps to flash a firmware you built into a LPCXpresso11U68 board:
Connect the “Link” micro-B USB port to your host computer.
