LPC1768 debugging and programing setup

Hi I am fairly new to embedded systems beyond arduino. I have been struggling over the past few days to get setup on the lpc1768 with a proper debugging environment. I have used mbed studio to flash to the board, but pyocd fails to boot on my mac. playing around with pyocd I discovered it gets stuck waiting for a debugging probe to connect. I’m a little confused around all the terminology I know jtag is a debugging interface and looking at the data sheet for the LPC1768 it seems to be included. I am a little fuzzy on what CMSIS-DAP is, but it seems to be included in the LPC1768. Is a usb to usb mini connected to the LPC1768 enough for a debug setup? Right now I am trying to get it working with gnu mcu for eclipse. What debugger should I be using if I can’t get pyocd working and why might it not be working? Thanks

Hi Derek,
I believe this handbook would have the information you need.
Have you run the pyocd gdbserver?

Yes, I’ve went through the handbook multiple times, as it turns out my problem was I had to run sudo pyocd-gdbserver in terminal before pyocd would work. I am now having problems with pyocd flashing the board, but I believe that’s a problem with pyocd, so I have asked a question on GitHub. Thanks
