TMS320F28379D: Flashing

Xu Guo

Part Number: TMS320F28379D
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: C2000WARE

Hello! I am newer with F28379D and I just use the Simulink block to build a control system. Now I need to use the card offline, it means I need to flash the control system into the control card and use it in lab. However it seems that the flashing can not be done simply in Simulink, because I try to flash the LED blink code to the card but when the card is powered off and powered on again, the LED does not blink. I can get the C code of the system via Matlab tools but I do not know how to flash the code to the card in CCS. When I read the documents about flashing, there are so many codes and concepts, which are a little bit difficult for the newer. Are there some examples for flashing, so that a newer can learn it quickly? Or what should I do after I get the C code of the system? I am so appreciated if anyone can help me! Thank you very much!

    Hi Xu,

    For training material on Flash you can visit https://training.ti.com/embedded-flash-memory

    The steps to flash code to the card in CCS would be going to your CCS project's "Build" properties. Then change the configuration to be CPU1_FLASH. Make sure to set this one to be the active configuration for the changes to take affect. (Click on Manage Configurations... -> Set Active for CPU1_FLASH)

    Hi,Ryan!

    Thank you for your answer! Actually I did so, but it does not work. I use the example the CUP1 LED Blink and set the confuguration as you show, after I debuge the code the LED blinks but if I cut off the power and power it again, the LED wont blink. I am not sure if I must use such as Flash API and so on, so that I can flash the code to the card. Thanks for your help again!

    Hi Xu,

    Did you make sure to put the switch in the correct position on the ControlCARD? For your application I believe you would need to make sure the switches are in 03 mode. (Get Mode)

    This diagram is found underneath the C2000Ware folder->boards->controlCARDs->TMDSCNCD28379D->R1_3->F2837x_180controlCARD_R1_3_SCH_02Oct2015.pdf

    Hi! Actually it works! I read the setting of all the switches and set first position of  A:SW1 to off and boot mode to 03 mode and after I power the card the LED blinks! Thank you so much for the help! By the way, I wanna ask, what means the 2nd position of A:SW1 switch, I cant uderstand the function although I set it in off.

    Hi Xu,

    Great to hear. This link should be good reference to answer the functionality of that switch.
