HITEX SAFETI-HSK-570LS31-ND endianness and nRST problems

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, HALCOGEN, RM48L952, TMS570LS3137

The problem is about HITEX SafeTI-HSK-570LS31-ND that is purchased last week. We could not program (we try to program example project which exists in product’s own DVD and also empty project including HALCoGen assistance) the kit with using CCS or flash tools (uniflash and nowFlash). We get the same error message every time: “Does not match the target endianness, not loaded. Check project build options and target configuration file.” Device endianness selected as be32 because TMS570 supports this format. However, selecting be32, b8, and big produce the same error message, too. Little-endian selection causes compiler error for available example project and meaningless (can be programmed but cannot be achieved any basic functions like lighting a led or sending something via SCI) working for empty project including HALCoGen assistance. Another problem is that D300 Red Led is always lighting which means nRST pin activated, continuously. Additionally, we could not achieve firmware update with using uniflash as it is mentioned in user manual. Just we achieved is erasing flash memory of TMS570 with uniflash. Endianness and nRST problems are mentioned partially in other conversations but there is no valid solution for us, unluckily. We need your assistance, as quickly as possible. Best regards.

  • Hello:

    Have you looked at the following forum posts? Can you confirm this is the same error you are observing?

  • Hello Enrique,

    I have already checked the suggested forum posts. However, after your message, I checked them again, and I have found the solution. The problem is related to the topic which is mentioned by TI Employee Anthony F. SEELY. I just would like to explain it in easier way. Maybe it can be useful for similar questions.
    The reason for endianness error is there are two XDS100v2 USB JTAG emulators on the board. One for RM48L952 and the other for TMS570LS3137. Thus, we need to configure each .CCXML document with using serial number of these two emulators. The necessary Serial# are TIMON001 for RM48L952 and TISAF001 for TMS570LS3137.

    Best Regards
