This is the documentation for the latest (main) development branch of mcuxpresso sdk. If you are looking for the documentation of previous releases, use the drop-down menu on the left and select the desired version.

Run an example application

To download and run the application, perform the following steps:

  1. See Table 1 to determine the debug interface that comes loaded on your specific hardware platform.

    • For EVKMIMXRT1180, LPC55S69 is used.

    • J53 is used as the debugging port which provides both debugging functionality and console out.

  2. Connect USB cable between J53 on EVK and PC USB port.

  3. Open the terminal application on the PC, such as, PuTTY or TeraTerm, and connect to the debug serial port number. To determine the COM port number, see How to determine COM port. Configure the terminal with these settings:

    1. 115200 baud rate or 9600 baud rate, depending on your board (reference BOARD_DEBUG_UART_BAUDRATE variable in the board.h file)

    2. No parity

    3. 8 data bits

    4. 1 stop bit

  4. On the Quickstart Panel, click Debug.

    Note: Erase the flash memory before running the MCUX IDE projects for the first time. To do so, use the Erase Flash action using LinkServer in Figure 2 with SW5[1..4] on 0100. In the worst case when MCUX IDE cannot erase the flash, use the secure provisioning tool. For more information, see Use Secure Provisiong Tool to erase flash.

  5. The first time you debug a project, the Debug Emulator Selection dialog is displayed, showing all supported probes that are attached to your computer. Select the probe through which you want to debug and click OK. Here we assume that you are using a CMSIS-DAP debug interface. (For any future debug sessions, the stored probe selection is automatically used, unless the probe cannot be found.)

  6. The application is downloaded to the target and automatically runs to main().

  7. Start the application by clicking Resume.

The hello_world application is now running and a banner is displayed on the terminal. If not , check your terminal settings and connections.
