How to Change the Flashloader of JLink
Recently, many EVKs have been borrowed by clients, and today when I wanted to verify some code, I found that I only had the previous RT1050-EVKB. This board is factory defaulted to use HyperFlash, but it was previously reworked by a client to use QSPI Flash. I took out the board and tested it with the hello world project using IAR and MDK, and encountered no issues; it could be downloaded and debugged normally. However, when using JLink in the MCUxpresso IDE, I faced issues with downloading and debugging. After some exploration, I finally found a solution (thanks to Frank, who had briefly explained the operation method to me before). Now, let’s get to the point:
-
Open JLinkControlPanel.html in the JLink installation directory to access the browser interface.
-
Currently, JLink is not connected to the board, so it will prompt “Connect tries”.
-
Next, we create a new J-Flash project and connect it.
-
Then return to the browser, and you will see that it has successfully connected to J-Link. Here, select Flash.
-
From the Flash tab, you can see that the default loader is using HyperFlash; change it to QSPI.
-
After modification, there will be a red text prompt; just make sure not to reset.
-
J-Link is ready; now let’s try simulating in MCUXpresso:
-
We can now successfully enter the main function.
