Debugging options and tools LPCxpresso

Hello, I am using FreeRTOS with LPC1769 cortex M3, and would like to know which debug options are available, tools, probes, software, etc. I am currently using LPCxpresso IDE. So far i have only used printf to the console and through UART. I know this processor does not have the set of registers used to support instruction trace, what is dissapointing. regards Cmunikat

Debugging options and tools LPCxpresso

Hi – this is not really a FreeRTOS question but a tools question. As you are using LPCXpresso then your debug options are whatever LPCXpresso supports, which I would guess will include CMSIS DAP and LPCLink – both of which are free and normally just require a USB cable. No doubt it will also support more professional options such as J-Link too. It also depends on the connectors available on your hardware – you can only use the options that both your hardware and LPCXpresso support.
