iMXRT1050_IAR_Issue_Downloading

Question

Hi EmbeddedWizard Users,

Although my issue is IAR related I wonder if someone here has had similar issues. I have bought an NXP iMXRT1050-EVK board and wanted to get a nice GUI up and running, I found Embedded Wizard and have tried to run the demo tutorial https://doc.embedded-wizard.de/getting-started-mimxrt1050-evk?v=8.30

There doesn't seem to be any issue building the HelloWorld example in EmbeddedWizard. I can open that resulting code in IAR and rebuild the entire project successfully. The next step involves changing SW7 dip switch settings to Off/On?Off/Off. I can see the iMXRT1050 device as a drive on my PC (D in my case) and drag my *.bin file from the EWARM folder into it....but I don't think that part works. At that point the file explorer window disappears.

If I reopen the File Explorer on D - there is nothing there except a DETAILS file, a PRODINFO file and a FAIL file (that indicates "The interface firmware FAILED to reset/halt the target MCU" ).

Any ideas would be really appreciated thank you.

regards,

Rod

Hi Rod,

did you press the reset button (SW3) after changing SW7 dip switch settings from Off/On/On/Off to Off/On/Off/Off?

- Set the mini dip switch SW7 to Off, On, Off, Off and press the reset button (SW3).

- Copy the bin files to the root folder of that new mass storage. The binary gets now flashed. Be a little bit patient - the upload will take approximately 60 seconds.

- Set the mini dip switch SW7 to Off, On, On, Off and press the reset button again (SW3).
