This week I have received the new PCBs for the MCU-Link MR for drones and robots and have populated the parts on the PCB, and it works fine as UART bridge and debug probe for the PixHawk i.MX RT:
The most important change was the fix for the UART connection through the Pixhawk debug ports (see CMSIS-DAP Debug Probe for Robots and Pixhawk with KiCAD).
Beside of the PCB color change, the ISP firmware update jumper has been replaced with a push button (see Updating MCU-Link CMSIS-DAP Debug Probe Firmware, Jumper-less), making it easier to assemble and simplified the laser-cut cover:
The BOM and files on Github (https://github.com/ErichStyger/MCU-Link-MR) have been updated, including a new .svg file for the cover/enclosure.
Happy droning š

Just saw this on official NXP website https://www.nxp.com/design/design-center/software/development-software/mcuxpresso-software-and-tools-/mcu-link-mr-debug-probe-with-usb-c-serial-and-mobile-robotics-interfaces:MCU-LINK-MR
do you also work for NXP?? glad that NXP featured your product. Im new to NXP’s MCU and ecosystem and just bought MCU link Pro. Your blog is very helpful.

Thank you! I just have received the MCU-Link-MR from Mouser, and I really like it. If time permits, I plan to publish a quick post about it the coming weekend.
