I'm using the CLI version of Uniflash with a XDS110 to program our products (TMS570LS033X based) in a production line environment.
This works quite well so far, however a recent change has been made, where additional data for the product is stored into the Bank 7 Sector 3 area of the MCU memory (this is stored by FW commands and not through JTAG).
I want to exclude this area from programming, erasing and verification during the programming cycle.
I have managed to exclude it from programming and erasing with the range setting
{"FlashRangeToggle":true,"FlashRangeAddr":"0x0000000-0x0003FFFF,0xF0200000-0xF0202FFF"}
This however still creates an error for the verification part, were the area the serial number is programmed to causes a failure of the verification.
My problem is that I have to erase the chip after having run HW verification on the product, and program an end-user FW. Similar, if a second test has to be run in case errors are found in the initial run, the board will already have the the additional data stored, and therefore fail the verification.
I'm aware that the smart move would be to program this additional data to the OTP area, but that was not the decision that was taken, and it is not a possibility to change this.
Best Regards,
Henrik Dam
