could not open specified hex file

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2530

Hi,

I'm using the Zigbee ZStack-CC2530-2.3.0-1.4.0 with IAR workbench 8051 and SmartRF Flash Programmer to program a module CC2530F2530.

I want to upload a sample hex file came from the installation CD into the device, but it says "Could not open specified hex file".

I have tried many of the sample hex files, but none of them works. The interesting thing is that my friend successfully uploads a hex file into the same device and he passes the device to me. I can use "read flash into hex file" to download the program from the device into a hex file and then use "erase, program and verify" to upload the same hex to the device. But I can not upload any new hex file to the device. Any help is appreciated!

    Hello all,

    I have the same problem.

    I'm using the \ZStack-CC2530-2.5.1a with IAR workbench 8051 and SmartRF Flash Programmer to program TI SoC CC2530F256

    I compiled TI sample application GenericApp located in: C:\Texas Instruments\ZStack-CC2530-2.5.1a\Projects\zstack\Samples\GenericApp\CC2530B

    With IAR workbench I don't have problem to flash my device.

    However, when I try to flash the same HEX file with TI SmartRF Flash Programmer I received the following error:

    "Could not open specified hex file".

    Can someone please advise?

    Regards,

    Efi

    Do you generate the hex file with the following two steps?

    1.Select "intel-extended" output in your linker option.

    2. Enable the following two lines.

    // Include these two lines when generating a .hex file for banked code model:
    -M(CODE)[(_CODEBANK_START+_FIRST_BANK_ADDR)-(_CODEBANK_END+_FIRST_BANK_ADDR)]*\
    _NR_OF_BANKS+_FIRST_BANK_ADDR=0x8000

    Hello YiKai Chen,

    Thanks for your help.

    In order to enable IAR debugging capabilities and also generate HEX file I made the following changes:

     

    Now I can use the HEX file for flashing my device.
