    How do I setup LPCXpresso for use with my J-Link? I thought LPCXpresso worked through GDB and I could simply use SEGGER's GDB server. When trying this I get

    No compatible emulator available

    Do I have to change the port within LPCXpresso somehow?

  • Hi Patrick,

    I thought LPCXpresso worked through GDB and I could simply use SEGGER's GDB server

    Unfortunately this is not the case. LPCXpresso currently uses a more or less proprietary interface which is based on GDB in general but does not allow generic/vanilla GDB connections to third party GDBServers.
    So currently, you cannot use J-Link with LPCXpresso due to lack of support from the IDE side.

  • Hi Partick,

    LPCXpresso IDE V7.1 and later now comes with J-Link support.
    How to get up and running with LPCXpresso IDE + J-Link can be seen here:
    segger.com/nxp-lpcxpresso.html

    Unlimited flash breakpoints are also supported.


    Best regards
