LAUNCHXL-F28069M: Powering Launchpad and booting w/o USB

Hi,

Your switch settings sound correct to put the device in GetMode, which should boot to Flash by default. Your project software may not be set-up properly for standalone flash run. Please see the document below for things to check:

Best,

I'm really not sure what to check from that document. I'm not trying to set up any special programming environment, I'm working in CCS using a project derived from a TI example (Though not an example included in CCS). 

https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spruh18i/spruh18i.pdf says that GetMode should jump to FLASH "as long as OTP_KEY ! =0x005A and/or OTP_BMODE is not a valid value", but I have no idea how to set either of those.

This is the linker file I'm using, if it's any help:

/* Define the memory block start/length for the F2806x
   PAGE 0 will be used to organize program sections
   PAGE 1 will be used to organize data sections

   Notes:
         Memory blocks on F28069 are uniform (ie same
         physical memory) in both PAGE 0 and PAGE 1.
         That is the same memory region should not be
         defined for both PAGE 0 and PAGE 1.
         Doing so will result in corruption of program
         and/or data.

         Contiguous SARAM memory blocks can be combined
         if required to create a larger memory block.
