LMK03328: output .txt file from .tcs

Laurie Fung

Part Number: LMK03328
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CODELOADER

We need to pre-program this LMK03328 before solder it into the PCB. Our programmable vendor need a .txt file for this part in order to pre-program this part.  How can we generate this .txt file from the .tcs file we have.

Thanks,

Laurie

    Hi Laurie,

    You may refer to the following document for details. The interface of Codeloader is very similar to TICS Pro, you can perform the same operation in TICS Pro.

    12.3 Export EEPROM File To save the current GUI Map data array to a specially-formatted EEPROM text file (.epr file), click the button Export GUI Map → EEPROM File and enter the filename/path to save the .epr file. Before exporting, the user may choose to enter comments to the Design Name and User Notes text fields. These comment fields are included in the EEPROM file and may be helpful for file identification.

    Hi Laurie,

    You need to first burn the EEPROM to a device, then extract the EEPROM and save it to a file, and finally transform the .epr file to a EEPROM .txt image. All steps can be done in Ticspro

    To write from .tcs to EEPROM, first load your tcs file for page 0, then go to "EEPROM" tab, select page 0 -> click (1a) -> (2) -> load .tcs file for page 1 -> select page 1 -> (1a) -> (2) ...until you finish all 6 pages -> In the end, click (3)

    Check if the EEPROM is successfully written by power cycle and read back.

    To read EEPROM image to a .epr file, do "read all EEPROM -> GUI map" -> "Export GUI Map -> EEPROM file". 

    To transform a .epr file to a txt file, do (1b) then copy and paste the text in the right.

    The steps mentioned are marked below.

    Regards,

    Hao

    For more detailed explanation, as Noel mentioned, please refer to the user guide in code loader. You can do the exact same things in Ticspro.
