WhishList: LMFlash programmer utility LINUX native

Roberto Romano

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, CCSTUDIO

Hi, is not possible rebuild as a Linux native this utility?

Is also possible program chip without PC? Where can I find programming instruction to load code to flash?

Is TI planning release code similar to MSP430 Replicator? Replicator was a very interesting way to program offline and is missing from TIVA code collection.

Hi,

Roberto, did you know about Uniflash (for Linux) - can be downloaded from here.

Also you can use the information here: https://github.com/uctools/tiva-template

Specifically lm4tools has lm4flash and OpenOCD also works.

Hi Petrei, thank for great information, this solve my struggle of setting up virtual machine, when ICDI software update USB device change ID and sometimes don't reconnect in time. I use an XP version LOCKED to service pack 2, it work fine and never update to SP3 remembering when it burned my EZMSP and programmers stopped working, I dont wish buy another winzz licence then I continue use till it stop working.

All other function where fine but I prefer a a more solid native utility.

Installation started, UNIFLASH is too huge (640MB), still native LMFLash utility can be appreciated too.

Hi David, i know about OpenOCD and I used it in early ccstudio releases, what I wish is a ready to use tools like these on MSP side, so having mantained code from TI is really simple add support to read program from an SD card instead of internal flash, new MSP series with USB and fast SPI help a lot.

Porting GDBServer to a TIVA is feasible but it require time to port and a lot to test for reliability, I wish to debug from LAN (isolated) and have a stand alone programmer too so I wait when I better know TIVA and tools.

If USB isolator work on TIVA ICDI/blackhawk then I can safely debug High voltage motor interface on Launchpad too. (next week do a try on it)
