LPCxpresso and mbed CMSIS-DAP?

Hi there,

It is possible to debug programs running on a LPC4088 QSB from within LPCxpresso without an additional debug device. In fact, there is a video by EA showing that:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Q9u8nPsR_P0

(at about 4:50 and later at 6:00 into the clip). So I've exported a program from the mbed compiler and tried to debug that but unlike in the clip my QSB is not recognized as "Redlink Server / mbed CMSIS-DAP" as it should. What am I missing here? I expected CMSIS to be present in the QSB by default? Do I have to enable it somehow? Flash it?

Thanks, Christoph

Oh, b.t.w.: when compiling programs that were exported from mbed into LPCxpresso I got lots of linker errors saying something was using "VFP register arguments" and something else wasn't. Under "properties/C/C++ Build/Settings" in Eclipse I made sure that in each "Target"-section "FPv4-SP (Soft ABI)" was selected as the floating point mode. After that it compiled... I think I read something somewhere that "Hard ABI" is not supported right now. Well, whatever ;)

Yes, you should be able to debug programs using the CMSIS-DAP interface on the mbed board just as shown in the video. It has been tested on a Windows PC. Are you running Windows?

Can you see the mbed drive when connecting the LPC4088 board to your computer? Do you get printf outputs if connecting a terminal application to the virtual com port?

Yes, I'm using Windows 7 Pro. And I've got LPCXpresso Full License/256k running. As I said: I can compile the code I've exported from mbed but when I start debugging my LPC4088 (on the Quick start board) is not recognized:

B.t.w.: I don't remember having installed any drivers for the emulator - has that got to do with my problem?

When I plug in my device all I can find in the device manager is the mbed drive, no additional USB device...

Thanks,

Christoph

Oookay. So I should have posted this as a comment, not an answer ;) Next time ...

Hello,

install mbed serial driver, which contains needed drivers. Let us know the outcome.

Hi,

Redlink Server is now recognized. And I can debug a simple "blinky" type program. When trying to debug a converted program for using an ePaper display (app_epaper) the program is loaded but the server crashes when I try to step through the program. But that might well be code related, don't know, really.

Thanks a lot!

Christoph
