Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LMFLASHPROGRAMMER, EK-TM4C123GXL, EK-TM4C1294XL

Configuration:

Serial (UART)

Reset MCU after program.

I get the following after a successful UART program session. "ERROR: Failed to reset the board!"

My board does in fact reset as requested. I am not sure what the LM Flash Programmer Tool is expecting to see in order to confirm a successful reset?

Hello Scott,

We have seen the issue with the LMFlashProgrammer and it arises from a missing Sync on RESET Command which executes the Reset sequence but not the full transmit of the ACK Packet. That is what we are trying to fix, but this will not affect the function of the LMFlashProgrammer.

Hi Amit,
Thank you for your quick reply.

I understood that this will not the function of the LMFlashProgrammer.

By the way, Which one has the issue, LMFlashProgrammer or Tiva device(ROM boot loader) ?

Best Regards,
Taka

TI__Guru**** 244400 points

Hello Taka,

No, it will not affect the function. Also the LMFlashProgrammer latest version is 1613 and not 1601 (Just Info). The issue is in the LMFlashProgrammer software interface

Hi Amit

That means LMFlashProgrammer don't perform the "Reset MCU after program" function?
Or, the Reset MCU is performed, but the error occurs?

As our customer reports,
It seems to be performed "Reset" on Tiva after program. But the error message gets from the LMFlashProgrammer

Hello Amit

I have additional questions. #This is from my customer.

> That is what we are trying to fix, but this will not affect the function of the LMFlashProgrammer.

When will you fix this issue? And when will we be able to use the fixed LMFlashProgrammer?

> We have seen the issue with the LMFlashProgrammer and it arises from a missing Sync on RESET Command which executes the Reset sequence but not the full transmit of the ACK Packet.

They'd like to know full details of the issue.

This issue is occurred on the custom board using TM4C1231D5PMT7.
However, we have never seen the issue using following evaluation boards.
EK-LM4F232
EK-TM4C123GXL
EK-TM4C1294XL

Why this difference occurs?

if it is boot rom, the boot loader of the new revision does not return an full ACK?

Taka

Hello Takahiro,

The boot rom has not been changed for the production version, so the problem does not arise with the device revision.

OK.

But, why don't this error message on LMFlashProgramer occurred with our evaluation boards?

Is there anything that comes to your mind in regards to that?

Hello Amit-san
I will confirm the clock source frequency immediately.
By the way, What does it have to do with it?

Hello Amit,

The clock is supplied from the Precision internal OSC(16MHz) on the customer board and ROM Boot loader is running when programming from LMFlash Programmer.
This is the same also in the evaluation board.

Does that answer your question?

Taka
