Ti flash tool on 64 bit windows

Hi Shar,

I wonder have you tried running the FlashTool installer in compatibility mode? There is a post which reports success on Win 7 64bit using this method:

Please report back if this helps with the issue.

Hi Garry,

Thanks for the reply.

I followed the process and still I could not fix the issue.

Installation was never problem and UART connection works fine.

Hi Shar,

There is an alternative flash tool called OMAPFlash in which the CSST USB driver was replaced by a WinUSB based driver, so the application can run on Windows7 (32 and 64 bit) platforms. This tool is available on request through your local TI Representative.

This is a pretty complex and powerful low-level command line utility  that you may need help in configuring for your hardware (hence the restricted access) but it should fit your requirements.

I will contact you with further details offline so hopefully this will close off this post as resolved.

Regards,

Garry

Hi Garry,

I get the same problem.

I have used the OmapFlah tool but it still fails.

Cleiton,

there is a particular version of OMAPFlash (v4.11) which worked for some users with OMAP35 based devices on Win7 64 platforms. 

Important: This tool is no longer supported by TI however I have attached it for your experiments and regret it comes with discalimer of no support or warranty so use at your own discretion. 

The limited usage I had was with an original BeagleBoard (OMAP3530).

0537.OMAPFlash4.11-with-win7.zip

Usage:

1. Unzip the file
2. Install the appropriate OMAP USB driver for the OMAP device
3. [For Beagle using the command file to do SDRAM ] OMAPflash @OMAP35_sdram_1k_Beagle.txt, see below
