Unable to debug because my MCUXpresso is showing no probes are available!
Opened this issue · 3 comments
I connected my PC to the FRDM-MCXN947 Microcontroller I, installed the SDK files, and imported a program to my MCUXpresso IDE. After I Start debugging it shows that no Compatible probes are available. This is my first day with MCUXpresso and I am having this issue! What do you think I should do to do this project successfully?
It would be good to check the followings:
-
make sure your PC is connected to the FRDM-MCXN947 MCU-Link USB port (J17)
-
the MCU-Link probe is detected by your OS. The probe is shown in "Bluetooth & other devices". Example:
-
retry debug after using the "Clean Up Debug" button
-
try "LinkServer -l5 probes" to list the probes. Example:
My PC is connected to the FRDM-MCXN947 MCU Link - (J17) Port. And as it was said in the website the LED was blinking. But I can't find the device in my bluetooth!
I'm not sure what might be the problem.
Other things to try:
- try to connect the board to a different USB port of your PC, without using a USB hub
- try to connect the board with SWD disabled (J19 installed), then reconnect it with SWD enabled (J19 removed)
- try LinkServer command line tool to list the probes. Example:
c:\NXP\LinkServer_1.6.133\LinkServer.exe -l5 probes - check the probe status LED (D11): it should pulse slowly if the CMSIS-DAP firmware is running properly
- check the probe USB COMM LED (D10): it should stay on
Also, you could try to (re)program the MCU-Link firmware (CMSIS-DAP or J-Link):
- put the probe in ISP mode (jumper J21)
- open a command prompt, change directory to "c:\NXP\LinkServer_1.6.133\MCU-LINK_installer\scripts" (or use the path to LinkServer \ MCU-Link installer version you have on your PC) and run
program_CMSIS.cmdorprogram_JLINK.cmd - remove the ISP jumper (J21)
