Hi:

I am testing C6678 SPI boot in our board which contains 5 TMX320C6678CYP Rev0.2 and no I2C EEPROM contained. I have realized spi boot in EVM board TMDXEVM6678L Rev0.2 , but  I am very confused that I can’t realize it in our board.  I do not know the difference between them, is the Rom boot code different?is the boot parameter table different? and is the DIP switch for SPI boot different?

I learned from a earlier post that It is poossible to boot C6678 directly from SPI Nor Flash, without the participation of I2C,that is to say, comparing the EVM board,the procedure different  in our board is that the IBL code does not need to be burned. I just burn the spi boot code into the Nor flash , it is as follows:

1.transform the .OUT file to .ccs file.

I think this procedure is the key to solve our problem,but I don't know the specific problem,because I have tried many times to change the code burned. I don't know the format of the code ,do the boot parameter need in our board（it is need in EVM board） ? if it is needed,what is the format（in the EVM ,the format is:

    length         80

   checksum     0

    boot mode      50

    port num      0

    swpllcfg_msw   0

    swpllcfg_lsw      0

    options       1

    addrwidth           24

    npins              4

    csel          0

    mode    0

    c2tdelay     0

    CPU Freq Mhz     800

    bus FreqMhz    0

     bus Freqkhz     500

）?

 the endian format : big of little（it is big endian in the EVM board）?

 it is better to supply with a utility which can transition the .out to .ccs which can be used in the user board.

2.Burn the code into the nor flash,the nor flash starting address is 0.

 3.change the bootmode pin[12:0]=0b0001000000110.

Has  anyone realized spi boot in their user's board?  if there is ,can you send me your burned code ?thank you.
