3.1.2 Installation steps to use Keil and IAR tools
1. Download and install LPCScrypt or the Windows drivers for LPCXpresso boards (
http://www.nxp.com/lpcutilities
). This will
install required drivers for the board.
The Link2 (LPC4322 device) is pre-programmed with CMSIS-DAP firmware during manufacture, so you do not
need to program it.
NOTE
2. Ensure JP1 is open to force the Link2 Debug Probe to boot from internal flash.
3. Ensure jumper JP2 is fitted in position 1-2, and JP3 is not installed. These are the default positions set during board
manufacture.
4. Connect the i.MX RT685 board to the USB port of your host computer, connecting a micro USB cable to connector J5
(Link USB). Allow about 30 seconds for the Link2 devices to enumerate for the first time. It is not necessary to check the
Hardware Manager. If this is done, there will be:
• five devices (if using CMSIS-DAP protocol).
• four under Human Interface Devices (CMSIS-DAP, LPC-SIO, two HID Compliant Devices, and a USB Input
Device).
• one under Ports (LPC-LinkII UCom.).
Your board is now ready to use with your 3rd-party tool. Follow the instructions for those tools for using a CMSIS-DAP probe.
MCUXpresso IDE can also be used with the board after setting up the board this way.
3.1.3 Starting a debug session using an external Debug Probe
Code running on the i.MX RT685 target can be debugged using an external Debug Probe that conforms to the standard Arm
®
Cortex-M debug connectors (either 10 or 20 pin). To use an external Debug Probe connect the probe to one of the SWD
connectors (J2 or J19) and connect power via the micro USB connector J6.
When using a Revision E board, the Debug link connector (J5) can still be used to power the board, and the VCOM function of
the LPC432x can also be used, but JP17, JP18 and JP19 must be removed to prevent contention between the external and on-
board debug probes on the SWD port of the i.MX RT685.
