Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH
Tool/software:
I am using uart_uniflash.py to program my board. I can successfully program and power cycle and boot. The problem is, when I tell the script to 'verify' with known different code, it does not report a failure. I have confirmed that it does not program the new/different code because if I reboot, the old code is still there.
I have sdk mcu_plus_sdk_am263x_10_00_00_35 and I launch uart_uniflash as follows:
python C:\ti\mcu_plus_sdk_am263x_10_00_00_35\tools\boot\uart_uniflash.py -p COM7 --cfg verify_flash.cfg
The contents of the config file are below. The two files I am attempting to verify are different, but neither reports an error. What am I missing?
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------#
# #
# DEFAULT CONFIGURATION FILE TO BE USED WITH THE FLASHWRITER SCRIPT #
# #
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#
# We took this from C:\ti\mcu_plus_sdk_am263x_09_02_00_56\tools\boot\sbl_prebuilt\am263x-cc
# and modified it accordingly to work for our code. The configurations below still point
# relevant files in the SDK installation directory (C:\ti\mcu_plus_sdk_am263x_09_02_00_56\).
# Those files could be copied to here to make the flahing process independent of having
# the SDK installed. Bu that is left for another time.
#
# By default this config file,
# - points to pre-built flash writer, bootloader for this EVM
# - The application image points to relative path of the ipc echo application image for this EVM
# - Make sure this application is built before running this script
# - You can customized this config file to point to your own bootloader and/or application images
# - You can use --operation=flashverify if you just want to verify the flash contents and not flash the file.
#C:\ti\mcu_plus_sdk_am263x_09_02_00_56\tools\boot\sbl_prebuilt\am263x-cc
# First point to sbl_uart_uniflash binary, which function's as a server to flash one or more files
#--flash-writer=sbl_prebuilt/am263x-cc/sbl_uart_uniflash.release.tiimage
#--flash-writer=C:/ti/mcu_plus_sdk_am263x_09_02_00_56/tools/boot/sbl_prebuilt/am263x-cc/sbl_uart_uniflash.release.tiimage
--flash-writer=sbl_uart_uniflash.tiimage
# Now send one or more files to flash or flashverify as needed. The order of sending files does not matter
# When sending bootloader make sure to flash at offset 0x0. ROM expects bootloader at offset 0x0
--file=bootloader-leave.tiimage --operation=flashverify --flash-offset=0x0
# When sending bootloader make sure to flash at offset 0x0. ROM expects bootloader at offset 0x0
--file=bootloader-stay.tiimage --operation=flashverify --flash-offset=0x0
The output from running the script is below:
