Programming and debugging really slow?

The board takes a lot more time (up 1 minute) for send the software to the mcu and start debugging with the lpcxpresso IDE , is that normal?

Question relating to:

The mbed-enabled LPC4088 QuickStart Board from Embedded Artists is a easy to use ARM Cortex-M4 rapid prototyping board in a standard through hole DIP package (44-pin), targeted at high-performance as …

If a minute is a reasonable time or not depends on multiple factors: 1) Is you program using a large part of the internal flash as well as external SPI flash? In that case it could take a minute to start

2) Are you using the latest firmware (see http://developer.mbed.org/users/embeddedartists/notebook/lpc4088-updating-the-cmsis-dap-interface/). Some of the boards have been shipped with a interim version of the firmware that makes debugging operations slower than normal.

3) Are you using the mbed interface on the LPC4088 to debug or do you use an external debug probe, like an LPC-Link2 or ULINK? The onboard interface is slower than using an external debug probe.

Yesterday my system and mkit got really slow. I shut it all down, full reboot. I reinitialized the firmware from original bin file. I went and had a bite to eat. Today it is zipping along fine. I will be monitoring for what is happening.

Do: Check that your PC isn't in a low power state, such as power saver on battery.
