TPS65982 / to extend binary file to just 1M-byte

Guru 29720 points
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS65982

Hi Team,

My customer is designing TPS65982 with 1M-byte flash memory.
Binary file (full-flash image) could be output from application customization tool but he couldn't wite the data to flash memory in his ROM writer tool because the binary file was less than 1M-byte.

Is there any method to extend the file to just 1M-byte?

Best Regards,
Yaita / Japan disty

  • The tool does not have a way to make the image larger. The flash programmers we have used do not reuquire a large image as you suggest. Typically they program only the necessary bytes - and the full flash image contains all the neessary bytes. For reference, we use tools like the Flash Center from Total Phase along with the Total Phase Aardvark SPI flash programmer. Perhaps your customer can write a small Python utility to pad the full flash image to the size needed for his flash programmer.
