How to upload the program to the Arch Mix board?
loboris opened this issue · 6 comments
Have anyone successfully uploaded any program to the board?
I have an Seeed Arch Mix board preloaded with RT-Thread, and it works with loaded firmware.
I've followed the instructions in this repository and I can successfully build a program both in Arduino and PlatformIO, but uploading the program simply does not work!
It was mentioned in #4 that maybe I should upload the bootloader first, but how exactly do I do that ?
The suggested NXP-MCUBootUtility does not work, reporting that it cannot put MCU in SDL (Serial Downloader Programmer) mode, how do I use it ?
The same thing is with MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool.
What is the point in providing the bootloader.hex without giving any instructions how to use it.
Please, provide the complete instructions how to program the Arch Mix board, otherwise this board is completely useles.
@LynnL4
I supose you have tested this repository on an acctual board (including the provided example), so it must be working.
Please provide more information.
@loboris Maybe you can use JLink to burn this bootloader
I only have LPC-Link2 (which can also run Segger J-Link firmware), but I was not able to flash anything to ArchMix with it (it comunicates with ArchMix via SWD, but reports the MCU cannot be stopped or something like that).
It looks like the RT-Thread bootloder on ArchMix board actually works, I could upload the the prebuilt firmware (found in Tools), using instructions found in Arch Mix Firmware Guide.
In Adruino, "Device unsupported" is reported when trying to flash. So either a different bootloader is needed, Arduino is not using RTT Win USB (ArchMix RT-Thread bootloader USB port) at all, or something else is wrong...
In PlatformIO, "Device unsupported" is also reported:

Thank you @LynnL4
I couldn't use the J-Link method because I have LPC-Link2 (with Segger J-Link firmware) and it is not supported by J-Flash.
(BTW, the cheapest J-Link working with J-Flash costs ~500 US$ !)
The method with NXP Boot Utility worked, and I've successfully uploaded the Arduino bootloader.
It is works fine, both in

Thanks again, just wondering why this information wasn't available before (ArchMix board apeared some 2 years ago and I've read the wiki couple of times and I've never saw this part), but better late than never.
I would suggest to put this information in this repository's README.md
Thanks for your feedback, we will put this information in this repository's README.md ASAP.
