NXP RT1064 board and JLink Debugging


Lawrence King
 

Dear All

 

On my business trip last week I was handed a i.MX RT1064 board, so today I tried to build and install the blinky progam for it. Unfortunately I am having problem getting Ninja flash or ninja debug to run.

 

When I started building at the cmake step I discovered my tools were out of date (zephyr-sdk-0.9.5-setup.run instead of zephyr-sdk-0.10.0-setup.run) no problem download the right tools and install them. Then my west install was out of date, again no problem, ‘west update’. Unfortunately it looks like I don’t have JLink support installed. What do I need to do to get that?

 

Curiously, when I look at the attached USB devices it says my board is ‘ARM DAPLink CIMSIS-DAP [0100]’ which is the same as my nrf52xx boards which run just fine with pyocd. Do I have a i.MX board with a ‘newer’ debugger that is ARM standard, or possibly the people that handed me the board updated it?

 

Of course I haven’t go to the step where the blinky program actually runs…

 

FYI - Here is the error message I get when I try ‘ninja flash’:

Hi Lawrence,


I've been trough that too. It seems that two things are missing on your side. First, you need to install the J-Link tools on your development host. Secondly, you should swap the "OpenSDA" firmware of the debug adapter MCU (U23 on the borad) to enable support for JLink. The default OpenSDA firmware support the CIMSIS-DAP that is supported by OpenOCD for instance. But OpenOCD is not able to program the i.MXRT familly for now (It is still good for RAM runs). 


To install the J-Link tools, if you are under Ubuntu Linux, you could just run "sudo apt install jlink". It's what I did and it do the job. Else, you have to manually download and install it from https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/. That should provide you the "JLinkExe" command that is missing in your logs.


The "SEGGER" OpenSDA firmware can be downloaded from https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/#JLinkOpenSDAGenericFirmwares. Unfortunately it seems that Segger has not released  firmware specific to the RT1064 eval board yet. I would try the one for the "MIMXRT1050-EVK-Hyperflash" as the chip are very similar from the memory point of view. How to change the firmware is explained in the board user guide, but in short:


1) Unplug USB.

2) Press&hold SW4 (reset, near debug USB).

3) Replug USB and hold SW4 for 1 or more seconds.

4) A new drive must show up in your host, named "MAINTENANCE"

5) Drag& drop the new firmware to that firmware. After a short programming time, the board shows up as "SEGGER" in the "lsusb" command.


You can revert to the original FW in the same way. The Original FW can be downloaded from https://www.nxp.com/support/developer-resources/run-time-software/kinetis-developer-resources/ides-for-kinetis-mcus/opensda-serial-and-debug-adapter:OPENSDA?&tid=vanOpenSDA.


If you can still not program the board, check that you have the right rights for the USB device. That can requires to setup the proper udev daemon rule. If you install JLink form unbunt repository, that should be already set.


Hope it helps!


Regards,


Antoine

Hi Lawrence,

I rewrote the “Programming and Debugging” sections for all the NXP boards in a PR that was just merged on Friday:

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/14000

 

For many of the i.MX RT boards I recommend using an external J-Link probe. Only RT1020 and RT1050 have J-Link OpenSDA firmware capable of programming the Hyperflash/QSPI. As Lawrence said, you could use the generic firmware, but you will need to 1) configure your zephyr application to link into internal SRAM (set CONFIG_CODE_ITCM=y and CONFIG_DATA_DTCM=y) and 2) override the Jlink device argument in board.cmake to "--device=Cortex-M7"

Thank you Maureen and Antoine

 

Finally back to this problem.  I tried loading several different bin files to the board while in Maintenance mode, most generate and timeout error and don’t successfully load. The only bin file I could successfully load was “lpc4322__mimxrt1064_evk_if_crc_20180810.bin”. When I restart the board it comes up as RT1064-EVK as expected. When I readout the DETAILS.TXT file I get:

This all seems reasonable. I loaded the JLinkexe from the Segger site (apt-get didn’t work for me) and it seems to have no problem finding the board. Finally when I run “ninja flash” I get the following output:

The Segger gdb server seems to start up, but gdb doesn’t find it. Does this have something to do with the fact that I am running on a virtual machine (Ubuntu under VirtualBox under Win10), I don’t think this is the problem, I didn’t have any problems with NRF or ST boards running Zephyr.

 

I did try changing board.cmake to "--device=Cortex-M7", the messages from JLink are slightly different, but the gdb timeout result is the same. Of course “ninja flash” fails.

 

Any ideas what I should try next? Any other information I can supply?

Hi Lawrence,

I rewrote the “Programming and Debugging” sections for all the NXP boards in a PR that was just merged on Friday:

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/14000

 

For many of the i.MX RT boards I recommend using an external J-Link probe. Only RT1020 and RT1050 have J-Link OpenSDA firmware capable of programming the Hyperflash/QSPI. As Lawrence said, you could use the generic firmware, but you will need to 1) configure your zephyr application to link into internal SRAM (set CONFIG_CODE_ITCM=y and CONFIG_DATA_DTCM=y) and 2) override the Jlink device argument in board.cmake to "--device=Cortex-M7"

Subject: Re: [Zephyr-users] NXP RT1064 board and JLink Debugging

 

Hi Lawrence,

 

I've been trough that too. It seems that two things are missing on your side. First, you need to install the J-Link tools on your development host. Secondly, you should swap the "OpenSDA" firmware of the debug adapter MCU (U23 on the borad) to enable support for JLink. The default OpenSDA firmware support the CIMSIS-DAP that is supported by OpenOCD for instance. But OpenOCD is not able to program the i.MXRT familly for now (It is still good for RAM runs). 

 

To install the J-Link tools, if you are under Ubuntu Linux, you could just run "sudo apt install jlink". It's what I did and it do the job. Else, you have to manually download and install it from https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/. That should provide you the "JLinkExe" command that is missing in your logs.

 

The "SEGGER" OpenSDA firmware can be downloaded from https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/#JLinkOpenSDAGenericFirmwares. Unfortunately it seems that Segger has not released  firmware specific to the RT1064 eval board yet. I would try the one for the "MIMXRT1050-EVK-Hyperflash" as the chip are very similar from the memory point of view. How to change the firmware is explained in the board user guide, but in short:

 

1) Unplug USB.

2) Press&hold SW4 (reset, near debug USB).

3) Replug USB and hold SW4 for 1 or more seconds.

4) A new drive must show up in your host, named "MAINTENANCE"

5) Drag& drop the new firmware to that firmware. After a short programming time, the board shows up as "SEGGER" in the "lsusb" command.

 

You can revert to the original FW in the same way. The Original FW can be downloaded from https://www.nxp.com/support/developer-resources/run-time-software/kinetis-developer-resources/ides-for-kinetis-mcus/opensda-serial-and-debug-adapter:OPENSDA?&tid=vanOpenSDA.

 

If you can still not program the board, check that you have the right rights for the USB device. That can requires to setup the proper udev daemon rule. If you install JLink form unbunt repository, that should be already set.

 

Hope it helps!

 

Regards,

 

Antoine

Dear All

 

On my business trip last week I was handed a i.MX RT1064 board, so today I tried to build and install the blinky progam for it. Unfortunately I am having problem getting Ninja flash or ninja debug to run.

 

When I started building at the cmake step I discovered my tools were out of date (zephyr-sdk-0.9.5-setup.run instead of zephyr-sdk-0.10.0-setup.run) no problem download the right tools and install them. Then my west install was out of date, again no problem, ‘west update’. Unfortunately it looks like I don’t have JLink support installed. What do I need to do to get that?

 

Curiously, when I look at the attached USB devices it says my board is ‘ARM DAPLink CIMSIS-DAP [0100]’ which is the same as my nrf52xx boards which run just fine with pyocd. Do I have a i.MX board with a ‘newer’ debugger that is ARM standard, or possibly the people that handed me the board updated it?

 

Of course I haven’t go to the step where the blinky program actually runs…

 

FYI - Here is the error message I get when I try ‘ninja flash’:

Dear All:

 

As a quick check, and to make sure I am not doing anything really dumb, I installed the NXP Xpresso dev system on Ubuntu (instructions here: https://mcuoneclipse.com/2018/12/28/first-steps-with-the-nxp-i-mx-rt1064-evk-board/ ). During the install process the Jlinkexe was rolled from 6.44 back to 6.42 and it is able to access the board, load code, single step, breakpoint, etc with no issues. I did retry ninja debug from the zephyr directory, the messages indicates it is now running 6.42, but no difference in the response. To me it looks like a zephyr script problem starting up gdb.

Thank you Maureen and Antoine

 

Finally back to this problem.  I tried loading several different bin files to the board while in Maintenance mode, most generate and timeout error and don’t successfully load. The only bin file I could successfully load was “lpc4322__mimxrt1064_evk_if_crc_20180810.bin”. When I restart the board it comes up as RT1064-EVK as expected. When I readout the DETAILS.TXT file I get:

This all seems reasonable. I loaded the JLinkexe from the Segger site (apt-get didn’t work for me) and it seems to have no problem finding the board. Finally when I run “ninja debug” I get the following output:

Hi Lawrence,

You have to use JLink firmware to use the JLink GDB server. “lpc4322__mimxrt1064_evk_if_crc_20180810.bin” is DAPLink firmware, not JLink firmware. Try https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/OpenSDA_V2_1 instead. Note that this firmware does not enumerate a USB mass storage device.

 

Did you reconfigure your Zephyr application to link into internal SRAM? To do this, add the following to your prj.conf file:

CONFIG_CODE_ITCM=y

CONFIG_DATA_DTCM=y

 

This configuration will not work with ‘ninja flash’, you can only use ‘ninja debug’.

 

I don’t think your VM is a problem. I use virtual box all the time.

Thank you Maureen and Antoine

 

Finally back to this problem.  I tried loading several different bin files to the board while in Maintenance mode, most generate and timeout error and don’t successfully load. The only bin file I could successfully load was “lpc4322__mimxrt1064_evk_if_crc_20180810.bin”. When I restart the board it comes up as RT1064-EVK as expected. When I readout the DETAILS.TXT file I get:

This all seems reasonable. I loaded the JLinkexe from the Segger site (apt-get didn’t work for me) and it seems to have no problem finding the board. Finally when I run “ninja flash” I get the following output:

The Segger gdb server seems to start up, but gdb doesn’t find it. Does this have something to do with the fact that I am running on a virtual machine (Ubuntu under VirtualBox under Win10), I don’t think this is the problem, I didn’t have any problems with NRF or ST boards running Zephyr.

 

I did try changing board.cmake to "--device=Cortex-M7", the messages from JLink are slightly different, but the gdb timeout result is the same. Of course “ninja flash” fails.

 

Any ideas what I should try next? Any other information I can supply?

Hi Lawrence,

I rewrote the “Programming and Debugging” sections for all the NXP boards in a PR that was just merged on Friday:

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/14000

 

For many of the i.MX RT boards I recommend using an external J-Link probe. Only RT1020 and RT1050 have J-Link OpenSDA firmware capable of programming the Hyperflash/QSPI. As Lawrence said, you could use the generic firmware, but you will need to 1) configure your zephyr application to link into internal SRAM (set CONFIG_CODE_ITCM=y and CONFIG_DATA_DTCM=y) and 2) override the Jlink device argument in board.cmake to "--device=Cortex-M7"

Subject: Re: [Zephyr-users] NXP RT1064 board and JLink Debugging

 

Hi Lawrence,

 

I've been trough that too. It seems that two things are missing on your side. First, you need to install the J-Link tools on your development host. Secondly, you should swap the "OpenSDA" firmware of the debug adapter MCU (U23 on the borad) to enable support for JLink. The default OpenSDA firmware support the CIMSIS-DAP that is supported by OpenOCD for instance. But OpenOCD is not able to program the i.MXRT familly for now (It is still good for RAM runs). 

 

To install the J-Link tools, if you are under Ubuntu Linux, you could just run "sudo apt install jlink". It's what I did and it do the job. Else, you have to manually download and install it from https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/. That should provide you the "JLinkExe" command that is missing in your logs.

 

The "SEGGER" OpenSDA firmware can be downloaded from https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/#JLinkOpenSDAGenericFirmwares. Unfortunately it seems that Segger has not released  firmware specific to the RT1064 eval board yet. I would try the one for the "MIMXRT1050-EVK-Hyperflash" as the chip are very similar from the memory point of view. How to change the firmware is explained in the board user guide, but in short:

 

1) Unplug USB.

2) Press&hold SW4 (reset, near debug USB).

3) Replug USB and hold SW4 for 1 or more seconds.

4) A new drive must show up in your host, named "MAINTENANCE"

5) Drag& drop the new firmware to that firmware. After a short programming time, the board shows up as "SEGGER" in the "lsusb" command.

 

You can revert to the original FW in the same way. The Original FW can be downloaded from https://www.nxp.com/support/developer-resources/run-time-software/kinetis-developer-resources/ides-for-kinetis-mcus/opensda-serial-and-debug-adapter:OPENSDA?&tid=vanOpenSDA.

 

If you can still not program the board, check that you have the right rights for the USB device. That can requires to setup the proper udev daemon rule. If you install JLink form unbunt repository, that should be already set.

 

Hope it helps!

 

Regards,

 

Antoine

Dear All

 

On my business trip last week I was handed a i.MX RT1064 board, so today I tried to build and install the blinky progam for it. Unfortunately I am having problem getting Ninja flash or ninja debug to run.

 

When I started building at the cmake step I discovered my tools were out of date (zephyr-sdk-0.9.5-setup.run instead of zephyr-sdk-0.10.0-setup.run) no problem download the right tools and install them. Then my west install was out of date, again no problem, ‘west update’. Unfortunately it looks like I don’t have JLink support installed. What do I need to do to get that?

 

Curiously, when I look at the attached USB devices it says my board is ‘ARM DAPLink CIMSIS-DAP [0100]’ which is the same as my nrf52xx boards which run just fine with pyocd. Do I have a i.MX board with a ‘newer’ debugger that is ARM standard, or possibly the people that handed me the board updated it?

 

Of course I haven’t go to the step where the blinky program actually runs…

 

FYI - Here is the error message I get when I try ‘ninja flash’:

Hi Maureen:

 

Yes, I added the two configs, and I am only trying “ninja debug”. I did try using OpenSDA from https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/OpenSDA_V2_1 unfortunately it will not load onto the RT1064 board, it always fails, and leaves a message in the mass storage device that it has timed out. I think there are two reasons for this 1) the RT1064 board does not use a k20 processor for the debugger, it uses a lpc4322 microcontroller, and 2) I think the image needs to be signed, or at least have a valid crc (hence the “crc” in the bin file nameHere is what I see after copying OpenSDA_V2_1.bin to the maintenance drive. The contents of fail.txt says “The transfer timed out.”

 

 

 

I have tried all of the following bin files with no joy:

49_OpenSDA_MIMXRT1050-EVK-Hyperflash.bin

K20dx_mimxrt1064_qspi_if_crc.bin

OpenSDA_V2_1.bn

Open_SDA_V3_2.bin

 

The JLink gdb Server works fine with the lpc4322__mimxrt1064_evk_if_crc_20180810.bin firmware when called from the Xpresso IDE.

This configuration will not work with ‘ninja flash’, you can only use ‘ninja debug’.

Dear All

 

On my business trip last week I was handed a i.MX RT1064 board, so today I tried to build and install the blinky progam for it. Unfortunately I am having problem getting Ninja flash or ninja debug to run.

 

When I started building at the cmake step I discovered my tools were out of date (zephyr-sdk-0.9.5-setup.run instead of zephyr-sdk-0.10.0-setup.run) no problem download the right tools and install them. Then my west install was out of date, again no problem, ‘west update’. Unfortunately it looks like I don’t have JLink support installed. What do I need to do to get that?

 

Curiously, when I look at the attached USB devices it says my board is ‘ARM DAPLink CIMSIS-DAP [0100]’ which is the same as my nrf52xx boards which run just fine with pyocd. Do I have a i.MX board with a ‘newer’ debugger that is ARM standard, or possibly the people that handed me the board updated it?

 

Of course I haven’t go to the step where the blinky program actually runs…

 

FYI - Here is the error message I get when I try ‘ninja flash’:

Hi Lawrence,

You’re right, I forgot that RT1064-EVK has a different onboard debug circuit than RT1050-EVK. Do you have an external JLink probe you can use?

 

Are you sure you’re using the JLink GDB server in MCUXpresso IDE? It doesn’t make sense with the DAPLink firmware.

Hi Maureen:

 

Yes, I added the two configs, and I am only trying “ninja debug”. I did try using OpenSDA from https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/OpenSDA_V2_1 unfortunately it will not load onto the RT1064 board, it always fails, and leaves a message in the mass storage device that it has timed out. I think there are two reasons for this 1) the RT1064 board does not use a k20 processor for the debugger, it uses a lpc4322 microcontroller, and 2) I think the image needs to be signed, or at least have a valid crc (hence the “crc” in the bin file nameHere is what I see after copying OpenSDA_V2_1.bin to the maintenance drive. The contents of fail.txt says “The transfer timed out.”

 

 

 

I have tried all of the following bin files with no joy:

49_OpenSDA_MIMXRT1050-EVK-Hyperflash.bin

K20dx_mimxrt1064_qspi_if_crc.bin

OpenSDA_V2_1.bn

Open_SDA_V3_2.bin

 

The JLink gdb Server works fine with the lpc4322__mimxrt1064_evk_if_crc_20180810.bin firmware when called from the Xpresso IDE.

Hi Lawrence,

You have to use JLink firmware to use the JLink GDB server. “lpc4322__mimxrt1064_evk_if_crc_20180810.bin” is DAPLink firmware, not JLink firmware. Try https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/OpenSDA_V2_1 instead. Note that this firmware does not enumerate a USB mass storage device.

 

Did you reconfigure your Zephyr application to link into internal SRAM? To do this, add the following to your prj.conf file:

CONFIG_CODE_ITCM=y

CONFIG_DATA_DTCM=y

 

This configuration will not work with ‘ninja flash’, you can only use ‘ninja debug’.

 

I don’t think your VM is a problem. I use virtual box all the time.

Thank you Maureen and Antoine

 

Finally back to this problem.  I tried loading several different bin files to the board while in Maintenance mode, most generate and timeout error and don’t successfully load. The only bin file I could successfully load was “lpc4322__mimxrt1064_evk_if_crc_20180810.bin”. When I restart the board it comes up as RT1064-EVK as expected. When I readout the DETAILS.TXT file I get:

This all seems reasonable. I loaded the JLinkexe from the Segger site (apt-get didn’t work for me) and it seems to have no problem finding the board. Finally when I run “ninja flash” I get the following output:

The Segger gdb server seems to start up, but gdb doesn’t find it. Does this have something to do with the fact that I am running on a virtual machine (Ubuntu under VirtualBox under Win10), I don’t think this is the problem, I didn’t have any problems with NRF or ST boards running Zephyr.

 

I did try changing board.cmake to "--device=Cortex-M7", the messages from JLink are slightly different, but the gdb timeout result is the same. Of course “ninja flash” fails.

 

Any ideas what I should try next? Any other information I can supply?

Hi Lawrence,

I rewrote the “Programming and Debugging” sections for all the NXP boards in a PR that was just merged on Friday:

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/14000

 

For many of the i.MX RT boards I recommend using an external J-Link probe. Only RT1020 and RT1050 have J-Link OpenSDA firmware capable of programming the Hyperflash/QSPI. As Lawrence said, you could use the generic firmware, but you will need to 1) configure your zephyr application to link into internal SRAM (set CONFIG_CODE_ITCM=y and CONFIG_DATA_DTCM=y) and 2) override the Jlink device argument in board.cmake to "--device=Cortex-M7"

Subject: Re: [Zephyr-users] NXP RT1064 board and JLink Debugging

 

Hi Lawrence,

 

I've been trough that too. It seems that two things are missing on your side. First, you need to install the J-Link tools on your development host. Secondly, you should swap the "OpenSDA" firmware of the debug adapter MCU (U23 on the borad) to enable support for JLink. The default OpenSDA firmware support the CIMSIS-DAP that is supported by OpenOCD for instance. But OpenOCD is not able to program the i.MXRT familly for now (It is still good for RAM runs). 

 

To install the J-Link tools, if you are under Ubuntu Linux, you could just run "sudo apt install jlink". It's what I did and it do the job. Else, you have to manually download and install it from https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/. That should provide you the "JLinkExe" command that is missing in your logs.

 

The "SEGGER" OpenSDA firmware can be downloaded from https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/#JLinkOpenSDAGenericFirmwares. Unfortunately it seems that Segger has not released  firmware specific to the RT1064 eval board yet. I would try the one for the "MIMXRT1050-EVK-Hyperflash" as the chip are very similar from the memory point of view. How to change the firmware is explained in the board user guide, but in short:

 

1) Unplug USB.

2) Press&hold SW4 (reset, near debug USB).

3) Replug USB and hold SW4 for 1 or more seconds.

4) A new drive must show up in your host, named "MAINTENANCE"

5) Drag& drop the new firmware to that firmware. After a short programming time, the board shows up as "SEGGER" in the "lsusb" command.

 

You can revert to the original FW in the same way. The Original FW can be downloaded from https://www.nxp.com/support/developer-resources/run-time-software/kinetis-developer-resources/ides-for-kinetis-mcus/opensda-serial-and-debug-adapter:OPENSDA?&tid=vanOpenSDA.

 

If you can still not program the board, check that you have the right rights for the USB device. That can requires to setup the proper udev daemon rule. If you install JLink form unbunt repository, that should be already set.

 

Hope it helps!

 

Regards,

 

Antoine

Dear All

 

On my business trip last week I was handed a i.MX RT1064 board, so today I tried to build and install the blinky progam for it. Unfortunately I am having problem getting Ninja flash or ninja debug to run.

 

When I started building at the cmake step I discovered my tools were out of date (zephyr-sdk-0.9.5-setup.run instead of zephyr-sdk-0.10.0-setup.run) no problem download the right tools and install them. Then my west install was out of date, again no problem, ‘west update’. Unfortunately it looks like I don’t have JLink support installed. What do I need to do to get that?

 

Curiously, when I look at the attached USB devices it says my board is ‘ARM DAPLink CIMSIS-DAP [0100]’ which is the same as my nrf52xx boards which run just fine with pyocd. Do I have a i.MX board with a ‘newer’ debugger that is ARM standard, or possibly the people that handed me the board updated it?

 

Of course I haven’t go to the step where the blinky program actually runs…

 

FYI - Here is the error message I get when I try ‘ninja flash’:

Hi Maureen:

 

Actually I don’t think mcuxpresso is using JLink, however during the install, mcuxpresso did remove JLink 6.44 and install JLink 6.42. I suspect this is due to the fact that the ide can work with many debuggers.

 

It appears to be using something called redlinksrv to do debugging. I can see redlinksrv and crt_emu_cm_redlink  in the ‘ps -aux’ output while my blinky is running on the RT1064 board

 

Unfortunately I do not have an external JLink probe that I can use.

 

 

The NXP documentation claims that Zephyr is supported by the board, and there seems to be a lot of RT1064 specific code in the Zephyr tree. How have you been testing Zephyr on the RT1064 board?

Thank you Maureen and Antoine

 

Finally back to this problem.  I tried loading several different bin files to the board while in Maintenance mode, most generate and timeout error and don’t successfully load. The only bin file I could successfully load was “lpc4322__mimxrt1064_evk_if_crc_20180810.bin”. When I restart the board it comes up as RT1064-EVK as expected. When I readout the DETAILS.TXT file I get:

This all seems reasonable. I loaded the JLinkexe from the Segger site (apt-get didn’t work for me) and it seems to have no problem finding the board. Finally when I run “ninja flash” I get the following output:

The Segger gdb server seems to start up, but gdb doesn’t find it. Does this have something to do with the fact that I am running on a virtual machine (Ubuntu under VirtualBox under Win10), I don’t think this is the problem, I didn’t have any problems with NRF or ST boards running Zephyr.

 

I did try changing board.cmake to "--device=Cortex-M7", the messages from JLink are slightly different, but the gdb timeout result is the same. Of course “ninja flash” fails.

 

Any ideas what I should try next? Any other information I can supply?

Hi Lawrence,

I rewrote the “Programming and Debugging” sections for all the NXP boards in a PR that was just merged on Friday:

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/14000

 

For many of the i.MX RT boards I recommend using an external J-Link probe. Only RT1020 and RT1050 have J-Link OpenSDA firmware capable of programming the Hyperflash/QSPI. As Lawrence said, you could use the generic firmware, but you will need to 1) configure your zephyr application to link into internal SRAM (set CONFIG_CODE_ITCM=y and CONFIG_DATA_DTCM=y) and 2) override the Jlink device argument in board.cmake to "--device=Cortex-M7"

Subject: Re: [Zephyr-users] NXP RT1064 board and JLink Debugging

 

Hi Lawrence,

 

I've been trough that too. It seems that two things are missing on your side. First, you need to install the J-Link tools on your development host. Secondly, you should swap the "OpenSDA" firmware of the debug adapter MCU (U23 on the borad) to enable support for JLink. The default OpenSDA firmware support the CIMSIS-DAP that is supported by OpenOCD for instance. But OpenOCD is not able to program the i.MXRT familly for now (It is still good for RAM runs). 

 

To install the J-Link tools, if you are under Ubuntu Linux, you could just run "sudo apt install jlink". It's what I did and it do the job. Else, you have to manually download and install it from https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/. That should provide you the "JLinkExe" command that is missing in your logs.

 

The "SEGGER" OpenSDA firmware can be downloaded from https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/#JLinkOpenSDAGenericFirmwares. Unfortunately it seems that Segger has not released  firmware specific to the RT1064 eval board yet. I would try the one for the "MIMXRT1050-EVK-Hyperflash" as the chip are very similar from the memory point of view. How to change the firmware is explained in the board user guide, but in short:

 

1) Unplug USB.

2) Press&hold SW4 (reset, near debug USB).

3) Replug USB and hold SW4 for 1 or more seconds.

4) A new drive must show up in your host, named "MAINTENANCE"

5) Drag& drop the new firmware to that firmware. After a short programming time, the board shows up as "SEGGER" in the "lsusb" command.

 

You can revert to the original FW in the same way. The Original FW can be downloaded from https://www.nxp.com/support/developer-resources/run-time-software/kinetis-developer-resources/ides-for-kinetis-mcus/opensda-serial-and-debug-adapter:OPENSDA?&tid=vanOpenSDA.

 

If you can still not program the board, check that you have the right rights for the USB device. That can requires to setup the proper udev daemon rule. If you install JLink form unbunt repository, that should be already set.

 

Hope it helps!

 

Regards,

 

Antoine

Dear All

 

On my business trip last week I was handed a i.MX RT1064 board, so today I tried to build and install the blinky progam for it. Unfortunately I am having problem getting Ninja flash or ninja debug to run.

 

When I started building at the cmake step I discovered my tools were out of date (zephyr-sdk-0.9.5-setup.run instead of zephyr-sdk-0.10.0-setup.run) no problem download the right tools and install them. Then my west install was out of date, again no problem, ‘west update’. Unfortunately it looks like I don’t have JLink support installed. What do I need to do to get that?

 

Curiously, when I look at the attached USB devices it says my board is ‘ARM DAPLink CIMSIS-DAP [0100]’ which is the same as my nrf52xx boards which run just fine with pyocd. Do I have a i.MX board with a ‘newer’ debugger that is ARM standard, or possibly the people that handed me the board updated it?

 

Of course I haven’t go to the step where the blinky program actually runs…

 

FYI - Here is the error message I get when I try ‘ninja flash’:

Well I have made progress resolving this problem. (but not resolved)

 

It turns out the that LPC4322 chip on the RT1064 board has two sets of firmware in it. 1) the DAPLINK firmware, and 2) LPC-Link2. To change over you need to install a jumper at J42. I found this out by reading here: https://mcuoneclipse.com/2018/12/31/freelink-lpc4322jet100-based-debug-circuit-on-nxp-i-mx-rt1064-evk-board/

 

Once the Jumper and the windows driver from here:  https://www.nxp.com/support/developer-resources/software-development-tools/lpc-developer-resources-/lpc-microcontroller-utilities/lpc-link2:OM13054?tab=Design_Tools_Tab it shows up as: LPC based USB Device

 

Next install the LPCScript on the Ubuntu VirtualBox from here: https://www.nxp.com/support/developer-resources/software-development-tools/lpc-developer-resources-/lpc-microcontroller-utilities/lpcscrypt-v2.1.0:LPCSCRYPT?tab=Design_Tools_Tab with:

chmod +x lpcscrypt-2.1.0_842.x86_64.deb.bin

sudo ./lpcscrypt-2.1.0_842.x86_64.deb.bin

 

 

That’s as far as I managed to get today. Does Zephyr know how to debug and flash with a LPC-Link2 debugger? Hints say yes based on info here: https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/guides/debugging/host-tools.html#jlink-debug-host-tools

Hi Maureen:

 

Actually I don’t think mcuxpresso is using JLink, however during the install, mcuxpresso did remove JLink 6.44 and install JLink 6.42. I suspect this is due to the fact that the ide can work with many debuggers.

 

It appears to be using something called redlinksrv to do debugging. I can see redlinksrv and crt_emu_cm_redlink  in the ‘ps -aux’ output while my blinky is running on the RT1064 board

 

Unfortunately I do not have an external JLink probe that I can use.

 

 

The NXP documentation claims that Zephyr is supported by the board, and there seems to be a lot of RT1064 specific code in the Zephyr tree. How have you been testing Zephyr on the RT1064 board?

Hi Lawrence,

You’re right, I forgot that RT1064-EVK has a different onboard debug circuit than RT1050-EVK. Do you have an external JLink probe you can use?

 

Are you sure you’re using the JLink GDB server in MCUXpresso IDE? It doesn’t make sense with the DAPLink firmware.

Hi Maureen:

 

Yes, I added the two configs, and I am only trying “ninja debug”. I did try using OpenSDA from https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/OpenSDA_V2_1 unfortunately it will not load onto the RT1064 board, it always fails, and leaves a message in the mass storage device that it has timed out. I think there are two reasons for this 1) the RT1064 board does not use a k20 processor for the debugger, it uses a lpc4322 microcontroller, and 2) I think the image needs to be signed, or at least have a valid crc (hence the “crc” in the bin file nameHere is what I see after copying OpenSDA_V2_1.bin to the maintenance drive. The contents of fail.txt says “The transfer timed out.”

 

 

 

I have tried all of the following bin files with no joy:

49_OpenSDA_MIMXRT1050-EVK-Hyperflash.bin

K20dx_mimxrt1064_qspi_if_crc.bin

OpenSDA_V2_1.bn

Open_SDA_V3_2.bin

 

The JLink gdb Server works fine with the lpc4322__mimxrt1064_evk_if_crc_20180810.bin firmware when called from the Xpresso IDE.

Hi Lawrence,

You have to use JLink firmware to use the JLink GDB server. “lpc4322__mimxrt1064_evk_if_crc_20180810.bin” is DAPLink firmware, not JLink firmware. Try https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/OpenSDA_V2_1 instead. Note that this firmware does not enumerate a USB mass storage device.

 

Did you reconfigure your Zephyr application to link into internal SRAM? To do this, add the following to your prj.conf file:

CONFIG_CODE_ITCM=y

CONFIG_DATA_DTCM=y

 

This configuration will not work with ‘ninja flash’, you can only use ‘ninja debug’.

 

I don’t think your VM is a problem. I use virtual box all the time.

The "SEGGER" OpenSDA firmware can be downloaded from https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/#JLinkOpenSDAGenericFirmwares. Unfortunately it seems that Segger has not released  firmware specific to the RT1064 eval board yet. I would try the one for the "MIMXRT1050-EVK-Hyperflash" as the chip are very similar from the memory point of view. How to change the firmware is explained in the board user guide, but in short:

 

1) Unplug USB.

2) Press&hold SW4 (reset, near debug USB).

3) Replug USB and hold SW4 for 1 or more seconds.

4) A new drive must show up in your host, named "MAINTENANCE"

5) Drag& drop the new firmware to that firmware. After a short programming time, the board shows up as "SEGGER" in the "lsusb" command.

 

You can revert to the original FW in the same way. The Original FW can be downloaded from https://www.nxp.com/support/developer-resources/run-time-software/kinetis-developer-resources/ides-for-kinetis-mcus/opensda-serial-and-debug-adapter:OPENSDA?&tid=vanOpenSDA.

 

If you can still not program the board, check that you have the right rights for the USB device. That can requires to setup the proper udev daemon rule. If you install JLink form unbunt repository, that should be already set.

 

Hope it helps!

 

Regards,

 

Antoine

Subject: [Zephyr-users] NXP RT1064 board and JLink Debugging

 

Dear All

 

On my business trip last week I was handed a i.MX RT1064 board, so today I tried to build and install the blinky progam for it. Unfortunately I am having problem getting Ninja flash or ninja debug to run.

 

When I started building at the cmake step I discovered my tools were out of date (zephyr-sdk-0.9.5-setup.run instead of zephyr-sdk-0.10.0-setup.run) no problem download the right tools and install them. Then my west install was out of date, again no problem, ‘west update’. Unfortunately it looks like I don’t have JLink support installed. What do I need to do to get that?

 

Curiously, when I look at the attached USB devices it says my board is ‘ARM DAPLink CIMSIS-DAP [0100]’ which is the same as my nrf52xx boards which run just fine with pyocd. Do I have a i.MX board with a ‘newer’ debugger that is ARM standard, or possibly the people that handed me the board updated it?

 

Of course I haven’t go to the step where the blinky program actually runs…

 

FYI - Here is the error message I get when I try ‘ninja flash’:

Continuing:

 

I Installed the LPCScript utilities on both Ubuntu, and Windows from here: https://www.nxp.com/support/developer-resources/software-development-tools/lpc-developer-resources-/lpc-microcontroller-utilities/lpcscrypt-v2.1.0:LPCSCRYPT?tab=Design_Tools_Tab

 

According to the Zephyr instructions here: https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/guides/debugging/probes.html#lpclink2-jlink-onboard-debug-probe  Run the script /usr/local/lpcscrypt-2.1.0_842/scripts/program_JLINK

This prints dots for quite some time and eventually fails. 

 

I then used the Windows version of program_JLINK.cmd and it quickly and correctly programs the JLINK software onto the board. Now when I plug in the RT1064 board I see “SEGGER J-Link” in the USB devices.

 

Everything looks OK when I try to debug the program, but gdb fails to connect to J-Link.

Subject: Re: [Zephyr-users] NXP RT1064 board and JLink Debugging

 

Well I have made progress resolving this problem. (but not resolved)

 

It turns out the that LPC4322 chip on the RT1064 board has two sets of firmware in it. 1) the DAPLINK firmware, and 2) LPC-Link2. To change over you need to install a jumper at J42. I found this out by reading here: https://mcuoneclipse.com/2018/12/31/freelink-lpc4322jet100-based-debug-circuit-on-nxp-i-mx-rt1064-evk-board/

 

Once the Jumper and the windows driver from here:  https://www.nxp.com/support/developer-resources/software-development-tools/lpc-developer-resources-/lpc-microcontroller-utilities/lpc-link2:OM13054?tab=Design_Tools_Tab it shows up as: LPC based USB Device

 

Next install the LPCScript on the Ubuntu VirtualBox from here: https://www.nxp.com/support/developer-resources/software-development-tools/lpc-developer-resources-/lpc-microcontroller-utilities/lpcscrypt-v2.1.0:LPCSCRYPT?tab=Design_Tools_Tab with:

chmod +x lpcscrypt-2.1.0_842.x86_64.deb.bin

sudo ./lpcscrypt-2.1.0_842.x86_64.deb.bin

 

 

That’s as far as I managed to get today. Does Zephyr know how to debug and flash with a LPC-Link2 debugger? Hints say yes based on info here: https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/guides/debugging/host-tools.html#jlink-debug-host-tools

Hi Maureen:

 

Actually I don’t think mcuxpresso is using JLink, however during the install, mcuxpresso did remove JLink 6.44 and install JLink 6.42. I suspect this is due to the fact that the ide can work with many debuggers.

 

It appears to be using something called redlinksrv to do debugging. I can see redlinksrv and crt_emu_cm_redlink  in the ‘ps -aux’ output while my blinky is running on the RT1064 board

 

Unfortunately I do not have an external JLink probe that I can use.

 

 

The NXP documentation claims that Zephyr is supported by the board, and there seems to be a lot of RT1064 specific code in the Zephyr tree. How have you been testing Zephyr on the RT1064 board?

Hi Lawrence,

You’re right, I forgot that RT1064-EVK has a different onboard debug circuit than RT1050-EVK. Do you have an external JLink probe you can use?

 

Are you sure you’re using the JLink GDB server in MCUXpresso IDE? It doesn’t make sense with the DAPLink firmware.

Hi Maureen:

 

Yes, I added the two configs, and I am only trying “ninja debug”. I did try using OpenSDA from https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/OpenSDA_V2_1 unfortunately it will not load onto the RT1064 board, it always fails, and leaves a message in the mass storage device that it has timed out. I think there are two reasons for this 1) the RT1064 board does not use a k20 processor for the debugger, it uses a lpc4322 microcontroller, and 2) I think the image needs to be signed, or at least have a valid crc (hence the “crc” in the bin file nameHere is what I see after copying OpenSDA_V2_1.bin to the maintenance drive. The contents of fail.txt says “The transfer timed out.”

 

 

 

I have tried all of the following bin files with no joy:

49_OpenSDA_MIMXRT1050-EVK-Hyperflash.bin

K20dx_mimxrt1064_qspi_if_crc.bin

OpenSDA_V2_1.bn

Open_SDA_V3_2.bin

 

The JLink gdb Server works fine with the lpc4322__mimxrt1064_evk_if_crc_20180810.bin firmware when called from the Xpresso IDE.

Hi Lawrence,

You have to use JLink firmware to use the JLink GDB server. “lpc4322__mimxrt1064_evk_if_crc_20180810.bin” is DAPLink firmware, not JLink firmware. Try https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/OpenSDA_V2_1 instead. Note that this firmware does not enumerate a USB mass storage device.

 

Did you reconfigure your Zephyr application to link into internal SRAM? To do this, add the following to your prj.conf file:

CONFIG_CODE_ITCM=y

CONFIG_DATA_DTCM=y

 

This configuration will not work with ‘ninja flash’, you can only use ‘ninja debug’.

 

I don’t think your VM is a problem. I use virtual box all the time.

Thank you Maureen and Antoine

 

Finally back to this problem.  I tried loading several different bin files to the board while in Maintenance mode, most generate and timeout error and don’t successfully load. The only bin file I could successfully load was “lpc4322__mimxrt1064_evk_if_crc_20180810.bin”. When I restart the board it comes up as RT1064-EVK as expected. When I readout the DETAILS.TXT file I get:

This all seems reasonable. I loaded the JLinkexe from the Segger site (apt-get didn’t work for me) and it seems to have no problem finding the board. Finally when I run “ninja flash” I get the following output:

The Segger gdb server seems to start up, but gdb doesn’t find it. Does this have something to do with the fact that I am running on a virtual machine (Ubuntu under VirtualBox under Win10), I don’t think this is the problem, I didn’t have any problems with NRF or ST boards running Zephyr.

 

I did try changing board.cmake to "--device=Cortex-M7", the messages from JLink are slightly different, but the gdb timeout result is the same. Of course “ninja flash” fails.

 

Any ideas what I should try next? Any other information I can supply?

Hi Lawrence,

I rewrote the “Programming and Debugging” sections for all the NXP boards in a PR that was just merged on Friday:

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/14000

 

For many of the i.MX RT boards I recommend using an external J-Link probe. Only RT1020 and RT1050 have J-Link OpenSDA firmware capable of programming the Hyperflash/QSPI. As Lawrence said, you could use the generic firmware, but you will need to 1) configure your zephyr application to link into internal SRAM (set CONFIG_CODE_ITCM=y and CONFIG_DATA_DTCM=y) and 2) override the Jlink device argument in board.cmake to "--device=Cortex-M7"

Subject: Re: [Zephyr-users] NXP RT1064 board and JLink Debugging

 

Hi Lawrence,

 

I've been trough that too. It seems that two things are missing on your side. First, you need to install the J-Link tools on your development host. Secondly, you should swap the "OpenSDA" firmware of the debug adapter MCU (U23 on the borad) to enable support for JLink. The default OpenSDA firmware support the CIMSIS-DAP that is supported by OpenOCD for instance. But OpenOCD is not able to program the i.MXRT familly for now (It is still good for RAM runs). 

 

To install the J-Link tools, if you are under Ubuntu Linux, you could just run "sudo apt install jlink". It's what I did and it do the job. Else, you have to manually download and install it from https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/. That should provide you the "JLinkExe" command that is missing in your logs.

 

The "SEGGER" OpenSDA firmware can be downloaded from https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/#JLinkOpenSDAGenericFirmwares. Unfortunately it seems that Segger has not released  firmware specific to the RT1064 eval board yet. I would try the one for the "MIMXRT1050-EVK-Hyperflash" as the chip are very similar from the memory point of view. How to change the firmware is explained in the board user guide, but in short:

 

1) Unplug USB.

2) Press&hold SW4 (reset, near debug USB).

3) Replug USB and hold SW4 for 1 or more seconds.

4) A new drive must show up in your host, named "MAINTENANCE"

5) Drag& drop the new firmware to that firmware. After a short programming time, the board shows up as "SEGGER" in the "lsusb" command.

 

You can revert to the original FW in the same way. The Original FW can be downloaded from https://www.nxp.com/support/developer-resources/run-time-software/kinetis-developer-resources/ides-for-kinetis-mcus/opensda-serial-and-debug-adapter:OPENSDA?&tid=vanOpenSDA.

 

If you can still not program the board, check that you have the right rights for the USB device. That can requires to setup the proper udev daemon rule. If you install JLink form unbunt repository, that should be already set.

 

Hope it helps!

Subject: [Zephyr-users] NXP RT1064 board and JLink Debugging

 

Dear All

 

On my business trip last week I was handed a i.MX RT1064 board, so today I tried to build and install the blinky progam for it. Unfortunately I am having problem getting Ninja flash or ninja debug to run.

 

When I started building at the cmake step I discovered my tools were out of date (zephyr-sdk-0.9.5-setup.run instead of zephyr-sdk-0.10.0-setup.run) no problem download the right tools and install them. Then my west install was out of date, again no problem, ‘west update’. Unfortunately it looks like I don’t have JLink support installed. What do I need to do to get that?

 

Curiously, when I look at the attached USB devices it says my board is ‘ARM DAPLink CIMSIS-DAP [0100]’ which is the same as my nrf52xx boards which run just fine with pyocd. Do I have a i.MX board with a ‘newer’ debugger that is ARM standard, or possibly the people that handed me the board updated it?

 

Of course I haven’t go to the step where the blinky program actually runs…

 

FYI - Here is the error message I get when I try ‘ninja flash’:

For what it's worth 8 months later, I was able to use PyOCD and the the built-in debugger on RT1064-EVK board to flash the Zephyr blinky program using MCUXpresso's flash programmer. Thus avoiding (for now) the need to buy a J-link probe. I didn't need to change much of anything.

What I did was use the MCUX option to save the flash command it uses to a file, and then tweaked the file so it's a script I can pass in whatever elf file I want:

MCUX_WORKSPACE_LOC=$HOME/Documents/MCUXpresso_11.0.1_2563/workspace
MCUX_FLASH_DIR0=/usr/local/mcuxpressoide-11.0.1_2563/ide/plugins/com.nxp.mcuxpresso.tools.bin.linux_11.0.1.201908271452/binaries/Flash
MCUX_FLASH_DIR1=$HOME/Documents/MCUXpresso_11.0.1_2563/workspace/.mcuxpressoide_packages_support/MIMXRT1064xxxxA_support/Flash
MCUX_IDE_BIN=/usr/local/mcuxpressoide-11.0.1_2563/ide/plugins/com.nxp.mcuxpresso.tools.bin.linux_11.0.1.201908271452/binaries/

$MCUX_IDE_BIN/crt_emu_cm_redlink --flash-load-exec $1 -p MIMXRT1064xxxxA --flash-driver MIMXRT1064.cfx -x $HOME/bin --flash-dir $MCUX_FLASH_DIR0 --flash-dir $MCUX_FLASH_DIR1

(some of that stuff may be unnecessary)

I copied MIMXRT1064xxxxA_part.xml  and MIMXRT1064xxxxA.xml from an MCUX project directory into ~/bin (hence the -x $HOME/bin in the command above)

The script will flash the build/zephyr/zephyr.elf no problem. I didn't have to change any jumpers on the RT1064-EVK other than to set SW7 to boot from internal flash. I didn't have to change anything about how the zephyr sample program is built.
