CCS/TMS570LC4357: CortexR5: File Loader: Verification failed:

Hello,

You are getting a common debug error known as a data verification error. The root cause can vary quite a bit and may involve some debug/investigation on your part. For more details on the error, please see:

Thanks

This error is occurring on previously working projects:

CortexR5: GEL Output: Memory Map Setup for Flash @ Address 0x0CortexR5: Loader: One or more sections of your program falls into a memory region that is not writable. These regions will not actually be written to the target. Check your linker configuration and/or memory map.

It started after an update to the xds110 firmware. Which I believe is part of the EMU pack update:

Name: EMU20_M08

Build Number: 9.2.1.00042

Date: 2020-11-08

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I am working on a Hercules XL2-570LC43 board.  Running Windows 10.  CCS  Version: 10.1.0.00010

Hi Michael,

After the target is connected, please find which gel file is called (CCS-->Tools). The flash should be mapped to 0x00000000 in the gel file.

hi ki,

thanks for your response,

i have tried in all methods still not able clear this error.

the below is my sys_link_cmd file code. can you please suggest what changes needs to be done.

Dear QJ Wang,

Thank you for your advice. after doing all those changes also i am getting the same error.

Hello,

Just read your linker cmd file.

The cmd file generates ECC for VECTORS, FLASH0, and FLASH1. But the ECC for KERNEL is missed.

Dear QJ Wang,

i have created the ecc for kernel also. then also i am getting the same error.

i have attached the screen shot of it. please suggest

Can you post the screenshot again? 

QJ,

Thanks for the reply.  The default gel file remains properly mapped.

The gel file I am using is the unaltered default for this board:

c:\ti\ccs1010\ccs\ccs_base\emulation\gel\tms570lc43xx.gel

It contains the following mapping:

/*----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* Function - memmap(memSel, extMem) */
/* */
memmap(memSel, extMem){

GEL_MapOff();
GEL_MapReset();

/* Flash / RAM Definition */
if(memSel == FLASH){

/* Flash Definition */
GEL_MapAdd(0x00000000, 0, 0x00400000, 1, 0); /* Internal Flash () */
GEL_MapAddStr(0xF0400000, 0, 0x00080000, "R|AS2", 0); /* Internal Flash ECC */
GEL_MapAdd(0x08000000, 0, 0x00080000, 1, 1); /* Internal RAM */
GEL_MapAdd(0x08400000, 0, 0x00080000, 1, 1); /* Internal RAM ECC */
GEL_MapAdd(0xFE000000, 0, 0x01000000, 1, 1); /* CRC/PSA 1 */
GEL_MapAdd(0xFB000000, 0, 0x01000000, 1, 1); /* CRC/PSA 2 */

}

The GEL file is correct.

Can you please re-post the screenshots or pictures your posted on Nov 19? I still think the issue is caused by the ECC.

QJ,

I have done as you suggested and had no success, here is the  output:

CortexR5: GEL Output: Memory Map Setup for Flash @ Address 0x0CortexR5: GEL Output: Memory Map Setup for Flash @ Address 0x0 due to System Reset
CortexR5: Loader: One or more sections of your program falls into a memory region that is not writable. These regions will not actually be written to the target. Check your linker configuration and/or memory map.

Thanks again for your ideas.

Hi Mike,

Please share the IMU4.out with me. I will check on my board.

Hi QJ,

Not sure how to do that?

Mike

Mike,

You can insert a file after clicking insert file button:

QJ,

Thanks.  Will try from another browser.  I keep getting errors.

Mike

Trying a zip file.  Maybe I am hitting a file size limit.7610.IMU4.zip

Just tried. There is no problem. I am using CCS10.

QJ,

I agree, there is no problem with the executable.  I just successfully loaded started a debug session with the same executable.  I soldered a JTAG header on the board and attached with an XDS200 pod.  That works fine.  If I use the on board debugger, the xds110. It never even attempts to erase flash. 

This started when I let CCS update the XDS110 firmware, is there a way I can revert it, or re-flash it?

Mike
