Hi, I have gone through, but a bit confused? It says downloading u boot, I want to flash (Download) my own application code say a hello word program to NAND/NOR . also how to generate .bin(binary file) file from my application code?

Reagards,

Azhagiri

You should be able to use the utilities to flash other applications. uboot is the most common one, which is why it is referenced. These utilities do not come from the CCS team so you may want to follow up with additional questions in the davinci forums, where there will be more knowledge.

Hi Lee,

Thank you for the suggestions, I could able to generate ".bin" file for my application code by following link:


e2e.ti.com/.../1296486

1) Compile my code for errors first

2) Go to Project --> Properties --> Build --> Build Steps --> Post-build Steps and type as below(CCSv5.5.0):

"${CCS_INSTALL_ROOT}/utils/tiobj2bin/tiobj2bin.bat" "${BuildArtifactFileName}" "${BuildArtifactFileBaseName}.bin" "${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/armofd.exe" "${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/armhex.exe" "${CCS_INSTALL_ROOT}/utils/tiobj2bin/mkhex4bin.exe"

3) clean the project and recompile

generated .bin file is saved in debug folder of my application project


my next task is to flash this .bin file to my EVM NOR flash and run the code from it,i will try "Serial_Boot_and_Flash_Loading_Utility" which I have to understand more clear. if you find more details please pass it to me.

Regards,

Azhagiri

Good luck! Note that the utilities are not from the CCS team so we don't have a lot of expertise we can pass on. If you do run into questions, I suggest trying the davinci forums:

Hi I have one more doubt in this section referring to the : processors.wiki.ti.com/.../UG:_DaVinci_PSP_Installation_on_DM644x_EVM ( Flashing DM644x EVM NOR using serial flasher utilities)
in command:
sfh_DM644x.exe -norflash <UBL binary file> <binary application file>

what is "binary application file" what file I have to replace here?

Hi,
Sorry but I don't have much experience with the serial flasher utility. Did you try asking in the davinci forums?

Thanks
