AISgen command line parameter error

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138

Hi there

I am trying to run AISgen (Version 1.7c) on the command line, the code is for the ARM part of an OMAP-L138. I followed the documentation (sprab41b) to create a config file (see below), but when I try to run AISgen with this config from the command line, it doesn't create the output file.

The AISgen log file gives the following, a little vague error message:

 

***Loaded configuration from file AISConfig.cfg

***One or more parameter error must be corrected.

 

This problem only occurs when I try to use the command line ith the -cfg option. When I start AISgen without it and then use File->Load Configuration to load the very same config, no error occurs and the output file is created.

 

Yours,

     Björn.

    There may be a problem with having spaces in the path for the command line tool. Try relocating your files to another directory or removing the spaces in the folders.

    Thanks for the Idea, but it didn't help. I also tried to change the paths to relative adressing (via text editor), and even using 8:3 filenames, again with the same error message.

    I copied and pasted your config file and changed the input and output file paths and it generated the output AIS file successfully. Try testing it out by using these file names:

    App File String=c:\input.out
    AIS File Name=c:\out.ais

    Hi Jeff.

    jc said:

     Same thing, didn't work on my PC.

    Did you use all the settings in the config file I posted earlier (D800K004, SPI-Flash, ARM core)?

    I did some further try and error on this and I think I found the problematic parameter: It's not one of the paths, but the Boot mode. When I select NOR Flash or NAND Flash, AISgen generates the output file, but when I select SPI1 Flash or UART0, I get the error (I didn't check the other modes).

    Yes I copied all of your settings from the config file and had no issues. I also used the same boot mode that you did.

    If possible can you put everything in one directory and privately send me the zip? I can run it from here and let you know. Thanks

    Maxime,

    Have you tried using the tool as described below:

    > "C:\ti\AISgen for D800K008\AISgen_d800k008.exe" -cfg="C:\ti\Bootloader\OMAPL138-DSP-LED\C6748-LED-SPI.cfg"

    This works for me. The tool is sensitive to spaces in file path so i recommend passing input and output file name in quotes as done above. Let me know if this helps.

    Regards,

    Rahul

    Hello,

    The problem is not about opening the file, if I give a wrong path, in the log file I get:

    "***Error loading configuration: Impossible de trouver le fichier *path*." (Which says Unable to find the file).

    But when I use it with the right cfg file (the one that successfully produce an AIS with the UI), in the log file, Iget :

    "***Loaded configuration from file C:\Users\test\Desktop\flashToolTgns\Resources\aisconfig.cfg
    ***One or more parameter error must be corrected."

    BR,

    Maxime

    Hello,

    Have You resolve your problem? I have the same issue. cfg file works good when loaded form AISgen GUI but reports a problem when passing as an -cfg="...." parameter.

    No, I wish I had, I wouldn't lose time to open GUI to create AIS and then run the flashing in cmd line ...

    Hello. I made some investigation and found critical line in cfg file:

    Configure Peripheral=True

    Without this line there are no errors but generated ais file doesn't work with Uart boot tool. It shows those errors:

    (Serial Port): Opening /dev/ttyS1 at 115200 baud...
    (AIS Parse): Read magic word 0x41504954.
    (AIS Parse): Waiting for BOOTME... (power on or reset target now)

    Becareful with the boot tool. If you are talking about the slh_xx.exe, you must generate the AIS with UART2 selected. Otherwise it won't work.

    I know that. I'm using UartHost.exe. I think the AISgen.exe cannot deal with "Configure Peripheral=True" when cfg file comes from command line parameter.

    Does anyone know where can I find source code for AISgen tool? Is it available?

    Hello,

    please go to your Regional and Language Settings, change the decimal symbol from ',' to '.' and try again.

    Best regards,

    Hi.

    On host PCs with linux use shell script like this:

    

    #!/bin/bash
    export LANG=en_US.utf8
    mono ./AISgen_d800k008.exe -cfg=config_for_ais.cfg
    

    This script runs your AISgen program with LANG environment describing localization culture with "." instead of ",". This script does not change your global linux environment but only for programs you invoke in it.
    

    There is other method also. You can import AISgen.exe as reference in your own c# program and invoke like this:
    

    Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
    OMAP_L138_AIS_GUI.MainForm mf=new OMAP_L138_AIS_GUI.MainForm(true,"/path/to/your/cfg/file/config_for_ais.cfg");
    ((System.Windows.Forms.Form)mf).ShowDialog();
    

    This will generate properly aised file.
    

    Regards
