CCSTUDIO-C2000: TMS320F280041 - Generate hex file from CCS

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F280041, TMS320F280049, UNIFLASH

Hi all,

Our team is facing issue when converting hex file from CCS for TMS320F280049 & TMS320F280041. May I have the step by step guide to know how to generate hex file from CCS?

FYI, I have tried using .out file generated by CCS by using UNIFLASH, the application works well. But when I try using hex file generated from CCS, it does work as expected so I suspect that there is setting that we didn't set correctly in hex 2000 utility.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Waiwei

Waiwei,

Please choose the romwidth and memwidth as 16 for C28x.

Also use the output format as intel hex.

Let us know if you face further issues.

Thanks and regards,
Vamsi

Hi Vamsi,

We are able to generate the hex file successfully but when we check it into details, I realised that the hex file generated using CCS shows different data with the binary file obtained when I read and export from Uniflash after program it with .out file.

For your reference, read2.bin shows the data obtained when we read the binary file using Uniflash (device has been programmed using .out file).

May I know the reason and how to solve it?

Thank you.

Best reagrds,

Waiwei,

When you download the image from Uniflash with a given address range, it will include holes (erased locations as well). Can you check if the differences are only extra 0xFFFF or something else as well?

Thanks and regards,

Waiwei,

Do you have any update on this? Are those 0xFFFFs coming from the unused holes as I mentioned?

Can I close this thread?

Thanks and regards,

Vamsi
