ulink not found

Matthias Kattanek

I have a NGX1830 with a Keil ULINK-ME [ULA-0006B]. To use the Keil LINK-ME with lpcXpresso, I believe I have to upgrade the firmware. I found the Firmware Upgrade tool here:

http://www.keil.com/support/man/docs/ulink2/ulink2_fw_upgrade.htm

Any time I execute it all I get is: UL2_Upgrade_v201.exe 1221826 Error: invalid serial number!

Out of frustration I used UL2_EraseFW.exe. After selecting the device it successfully erased
the FW. But upgrading still doesn't work.

Any advice how this can be done?

    Ralf,

    thanks that was helpful. Since I already accidentily erased the firmware and a Serial number does not show, one additional step was required.

    - start Keil uVision - compile a sample project, build and download it (Flash->Download) During this attempt it started uploading the latest firmware to the ULINK-ME.

    - next step I executed 'UL2_configure.exe B1' to select the CMSIS-DAP feature I need for lpcXpresso

    - if you still need to know the serial# you can launch it from uVision. (i Used V5.11.1.0) Flash-> Configure Flash Tools (gets you to Options for Targets) then click on 'Debug' tab click the 'Use:' button and select 'ULINK2/ME cortex Debugger'. (not sure but there is no 'ULINK/ME' option!) click on 'Settings' and a new window pops up with 'target Driver setup' listing Serial number and firmware Version (V2.02 in my case)

    So now the ULINK/ME is updated and configured for lpcXpresso.

    It would be nice if Keil could provide a simple command line tool to achieve that.
    For Linux user it is a pain in the A$$, first find a win box, then install uVison. There a lot of steps and inexpirience, plus things that could go wrong or simply missed. Not to mention
    the time spent to achieve all those steps.

    Why not have a single tool (no need for a GUI) to upgrade the firmware?
    Would be nice if the tool could recognize and list existing device and serial number.
    Plus print out firmware version and current configuration.

    Hello Mat,
    thank you for your feedback and suggestions!

    Yet the ULINK family is to be used in combination with uVision only! This way the complete set of functionality is visually summarized and supported!

    As supporting CMSIS-DAP we may consider offering an external tool with adequate functionality! A corresponding request to our Engineering Team is created already!

    Best regards,
    Ralf
