How to download test code into NOR Flash in davinci EVM DM6646

azhagiri s
Intellectual 655 points

HI,

I am trying to download a simple Hello word code to flash (Say nor flash) in CCS v 5, currently it is downloading into DDR2 of my EVM.

I am using Spectrum Digital davinci Evaluation module with JTAG Emulator.

I want to store the code even the power is off.

below is my linker command file:

-stack 0x00000800 /* Stack Size */
-heap 0x00000800 /* Heap Size */

MEMORY
{
IRAM: o = 0x00000000 l = 0x00004000
DRAM: o = 0x00008000 l = 0x00004000
AEMIF: o = 0x02000000 l = 0x02000000
DDR2: o = 0x80000000 l = 0x10000000
}

SECTIONS
{
.bss > DDR2
.cinit > DDR2
.cio > DDR2
.const > DDR2
.stack > DDR2
.sysmem > DDR2
.text > DDR2
.ddr2 > DDR2
}

Update:

Hi, I have gone through  http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Serial_Boot_and_Flash_Loading_Utility ,  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.

I have generated a bin file of my program and want to download it to NOR flash and run the same when I power ON the EVM, please help me

I have been routed here from: 

Regards,

Azhagiri S

    Hi,
    Use the following commands to flash simple hello world application to NOR flash of DM6446 EVM.

    sfh_DM6446.exe -norerase

    sfh_DM6446.exe -norflash_noubl hello.bin

    Make sure that you followed correct procedures to convert *.out to *.bin because it may not work if you have not converted properly.

    Please let us know the results.

    Hi Shankari,

    below is my experiment, and after this I restarted the board and no LED is glowing. I have also attached my sample LED code from spectrum digital.

    Regards,

    Hi Azhagiri,

    Try to change memory allocation to various sections in your linker command file from DDR2 to AEMIF.
    I suspect this might be the issue.
    Also check the BOOT mode settings.
    For NOR flash Boot.

    Switch Config is same as you have told, I have changed LCF as below: 

    -stack 0x00000800 /* Stack Size */
    -heap 0x00000800 /* Heap Size */

    MEMORY
    {
    IRAM: o = 0x00000000 l = 0x00004000
    DRAM: o = 0x00008000 l = 0x00004000
    AEMIF: o = 0x02000000 l = 0x02000000
    DDR2: o = 0x80000000 l = 0x10000000
    }

    SECTIONS
    {
    .bss > AEMIF
    .cinit > AEMIF
    .cio > AEMIF
    .const > AEMIF
    .stack > AEMIF
    .sysmem > AEMIF
    .text > AEMIF
    .ddr2 > AEMIF
    }

    and ran:

    sfh_DM644x.exe -norerase  and 

    sfh_DM644x.exe -norflash_noubl led.bin

    still no improve. same log as mentioned in previous update.

    If I change switch config to NOR boot and run in hyper terminal I get below LOG, but no lED glowing
