TPS65981: Blank SPI external flash memory programming

Part Number: TPS65981


Hi,

Could you detail the procedure to program a blank SPI external flash memory connected to a TPS65981? May SWD be used in this situation? Or an external programming device is needed?

Best wishes,

  • Hi Newton,

    An external programming device is needed in this case. The TPS65981 can be updated over I2C only once there is a valid image present in the SPI Flash. To do this, you must program the external SPI Flash with a programming device. Our EVMs use an FTDI chip to do this.

    Thank you,

    Eric
