MCU-Link is the NXP single, unified debug probe architecture for all NXP
general-purpose Arm® Cortex-M® based MCUs. MCU-Link is implemented on NXP´s latest evaluation boards (known as
MCU-Link OB) and standalone versions (MCU-Link and MCU-Link Pro) are available
for use with any system with a supported target NXP MCU. MCU-Link uses common
firmware images for all implementations, with strap pins used to define the
target type and supported features. The
LinkServer
utility installs drivers and provides firmware update and other useful
utilities and should be installed to use all versions of MCU-Link.
MCU-Link can be used with
MCUXpresso IDE
or
MCUXpresso for VS Code
to fully utilize all available features, but can also be used with third-party
IDEs. MCU-Link can also provide USB to UART, SPI and/or I²C
interfaces (depending on MCU-Link type/implementation), a feature supported by
the NXP open source
LIBUSBSIO
host library for Windows, MacOS and Linux. MCU-Link is also compatible with
the
MCUXpresso SEC tools, SP SDK and FreeMASTER.
MCU-Link is based on the
LPC55S69 microcontroller to
provide high-performance debug over high-speed USB.
