TMDSRM48HDK: Demo code can't program to Hercules RM48x Development Kit

Hi Elaine,

The demo GUI doesn't work on windows 10. You can use CCS to open/compile the source code and load the *.out file to the flash using either CCS or Uniflash.

Hi QJ,

I got this message when I load the *.out

CortexR4: File Loader: Verification failed: Values at address 0xF0400000 do not match Please verify target memory and memory map.
CortexR4: GEL: File: D:\Project\TI\TestProject\RM48x_demo_software\Debug\RM48x_demo_software.out: a data verification error occurred, file load failed.

Address 0xF0400000 is the start of the Flash Data Space ECC in the RM48L952.

Looking at the RM48x_demo_software.out from v4.0.0 of the Hercules Safety MCU Demos shows that .out file contains an initialised ECC section:

C:\Users\mr_halfword>"C:\Program Files (x86)\ti\cgxml-2.61.00\utils\ofd6x.exe" -x "C:\ti\Hercules\Hercules Safety MCU Demos\4.0.0\RM48x_demo_software.out" | "C:\Program Files (x86)\ti\cgxml-2.61.00\bin\sectti.exe"
Reading from stdin ...

How is the .out file being loaded?

If auto-ECC generation is selected that might conflict with the initialised ECC section in the .out file.

I tried to use Hercules Safety MCU Demos after install CCS and  Hercules Development Kit from DVD.

Also, which version of the demo software is in use?

v4.0.0 was downloaded from HERCULES_SAFETY_MCU_DEMOS Code example or demo | TI.com, which might be a later version on the Development Kit DVD.

Hi Chester,

Used the DVD still met problem, so I tried to download CCS from https://www.ti.com/tool/CCSTUDIO and HERCULES_SAFETY_MCU_DEMOS from https://www.ti.com/tool/HERCULES_SAFETY_MCU_DEMOS.

I used CCS11.2.0 to open the source code and change targetConfigs to RM48L952.xxml,  compile the source code and load the *.out file to the flash,

Where is the auto-ECC generation be set?

Hi Chester,

I found  Auto ECC Generation setting and uncheck it.  I can program the code to mcu now.  HDK Safety Demo.exe stll can't connection to the microcontrol,  this is because that it doesn't support windows 10, right? 

Hi Elaine,

The demo GUI is not supported under windows 10.
