CCS/TMS320C6657: CCS/TMS320C6657

Part Number: TMS320C6657
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi, I have code base for C6657.

I have nor boot loader along with Core 0 and 1 code. I am using MAD utility to create myApp.bin

Using nor writer (mcsdk of TI) to flash myApp.bin. 

Now we need to hand over the flashing activity to production house.

Do we have any stand alone utility tools to do this activity. We will be providing them with nor_writer.out, myApp.bin and myAppTargetCong.ccxml

Regards,

Pradeep

  • Hi,

    I've notified the RTOS team. They will post their feedback directly here.

    Please share which SDK version are you using. Also are you using a custom board or TI reference EVM?

  • Hi,
    I am using
    processor_sdk_rtos_c665x_4_00_00_04 and it is custom board.

  • Pradeep,

    What do you mean by standalone utility ? Are you looking for production flashing utility that doesn`t use JTAG?
    Many of our customer use some sort of gang programming tool that allows them to pre-program the flash before assembly. after assembly, they need to simply perform power on tests to confirm the application is booting. Is this not an option with your production setup.

  • Hi Rahul Prabhu,
    I am looking for some thing like TI Uniflash used to flash TI MCU. Essentially, avoiding Code composer studio.
    <<gang programming tool that allows them to pre-program the flash before assembly>> How is this done?? Can you help with one such tool.

    Regards,
    Pradeep
  • We don`t support Uniflash for these multi-core DSP devices and don`t plan to invest in creating one in the near term. Only supported flash programming mechanism is using CCS and the flash writer utilities.

    The gang programming interface is not something that TI supports. You can essentially find information by searching on vendor websites like Leap flash , elprotronics , xeltech.

  • Hi,
    As an update for people who might be looking for one such solution.
    I used TI's loadti for flashing DSP image using nor writer application.
    Command line
    C:\ti\ccsv7\ccs_base\scripting\examples\loadti>loadti -c=test\XDS200.ccxml -x=test\mylogs.txt -mlr="0,2147483648,test\myApp.bin,32,false" test\norwriter_evm6657l.out
    We have developed a GUI and call this script
