I am having the same problem. I created a patch to fix this: https://github.com/mhier/openocd/commit/521f516ec6874b5f9da379247015530fb5a122a4
This has been tested with a MK60DN512ZVMC10. Due to lack of hardware, I cannot test this with revision 2.x chips (i.e. without the Z). Also I am not using the VLPR mode, so I did not test whether the switch to normal run mode works. --- ** [tickets:#236] Cannot flash Kinetis Z parts** **Status:** new **Milestone:** 0.9.0 **Created:** Thu May 02, 2019 09:41 AM UTC by Ramy **Last Updated:** Fri May 03, 2019 10:09 AM UTC **Owner:** nobody I am using a Kinetis MK20DN512**Z**VLQ10 which is an earlier version of the MK20DN512VLQ10. Flashing the non-Z part works fine in OpenOCD 0.10, but when flashing the Z part, the following error occurs: "Flash operation not possible in current run mode: SMC_PMSTAT: 0x0" It looks like the code in the kinetis_check_run_mode function reads the SMC_PMSTAT register on the target device to check that it is in run mode. This register does not exist on the earlier revision K20 device, so pmstat is always 0 and OpenOCD refuses to program the device. I have attempted to use earlier versions of OpenOCD which don't have this check, but they fail when trying to flash either device. --- Sent from sourceforge.net because openocd-devel@lists.sourceforge.net is subscribed to https://sourceforge.net/p/openocd/tickets/ To unsubscribe from further messages, a project admin can change settings at https://sourceforge.net/p/openocd/admin/tickets/options.
