Programming and Debugging


.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::

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 CMSIS-DAP interface. If you want to switch to J-Link, then you need to edit the :zephyr_file:boards/nxp/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 <https://www.nxp.com/design/microcontrollers-developer-resources/lpc-microcontroller-utilities/lpcscrypt-v2-1-1:LPCSCRYPT>_.

.. note:: The Mbed project <https://os.mbed.com>_ also provides some firmware images here <https://os.mbed.com/teams/NXP/wiki/Updating-LPCXpresso-firmware>_. 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. #. Next, simply run the west flash command

Debugging

Please refer to the Flashing_ section and run the west debug command instead of west flash.
