Programming problems with MKL16 core

[PHBMOC]

Hello,
I have several target MCUs in different devices I am working on. The pylink library is working great with STM32F401 cores, but I am having problems with an NXP MKL16Z64VFM4 chip.

Using JLink v6.30e, Windows 7, pylink 0.1.0 or 0.0.10
Running Segger J-Link Commander or J-Flash, it is reported that the protection settings in memory 0x400-0x40F indicate readout is disabled. Pressing "OK" triggers a mass erase and subsequent programming through that software succeeds.

However, I cannot do this through the pylink interface. Attempting to connect() to the device, I get one of several issues - not always the same. They include:

1. WindowsError(-1073741795, 'Windows Error 0xC000001D')
2. WindowsError('exception: access violation writing 0xCE941527',)
3. WindowsError('exception: access violation reading 0xFFFFFFFF',)
4. PCode returned with error code -1
   JLinkException('Unspecified error.',)

Since I cannot connect, I cannot unlock. Related to this, unlocking the Kinetis family appears to be supported in the library, but is it only a subset? I saw mention of K40 and K60 specifically - is the L family not supported?

So, my specific question is - do you have any suggestions for what might be wrong with the connection method? Any debugging tips?

Thanks in advance!

You can suppress that pop-up (only shows up on Windows actually) by calling disable_dialog_boxes() before calling open(). I believe the DLL has some logic around unlocking as well. I would also look at the unsecure_hook callback that you can pass to the constructor, as you can have that always return to always force unsecuring through the DLL.
