Gang Pro ARM

Hello,

I am using GangPro-ARM software tool. I am accessing this software from my business logic written in c#. To operate GangPro-ARM i am using gang dll functions. This dlls i got in the installation folders when i downloaded Elprotronic package for GangPro-ARM.

In my business logic I used firmware (hex format) which i upload on the devices connected to gangPro -ARM using FPA. This uploaded firmware data get stored in the flash memory of GangPro-ARM. as shown below:

I used 'GangProARM-FPAsel.dll' functions of gangPro-ARM in following sequence:

1.F_OpenInstancesAndFPAs

2.F_Set_FPA_index

3.F_Initialization()

4.F_ConfigFileLoad -Here i uploaded my firmware file which uploads firmware file data to Flash memory of GangPro-ARM.

And before proceeding further with this sequence, I used ' GANGPRO_GUI.dll' functions in the following sequence to read data , edit data and again write it to Flash memory of GangPro-ARM.

1.F_Copy_Flash_to_Gang_Buffer

2.F_Get_Byte_from_Gang_Buffer- Reads data at specific address.

This all flow, worked properly in one go.

But again I tried reading buffer data, it gave me an incorrect data as 'fffffff'. I just want to know that is there any way to clear gang buffer and flash memory of GangPro-ARM, so that i can try re-upload for firmware file.

I m stuck here as i m not able to clear gang buffer and flash memory.

Thanks & Regard,

Shradha K

    Hello Shradha,

    The GangPro ARM tool is not one that is made by TI, and our team has not used it at any time. These questions are really very specific to that tool and there is really nowhere in this whole process where we can add any value as the device manufacturer of the TM4C. Unfortunately, there just isn't anything we can offer to help with this.

    I would strongly recommend that you contact Elprotronic about this issue. They are the ones who both made the tool as well as provided these .dll's and they could comment about the gang buffer. Elprotronic does not monitor E2E so you need to reach out to them directly to get help with this.

    I hope you are able to resolve the issue when you do get in touch with them.
