TMS320F28335: Unable to Load .dat File

Part Number: TMS320F28335


Hello,

I'm having an issue loading data to the F2833x device using CCS. I am able to re-program the Flash fine, but when I attempt to load the memory using CCS to load program code then there are errors thrown (because programming the Flash works fine and I can upload a COFF .out file, I suspect this is a CCS problem and not a Flash problem).

Tools > Load Memory > TI Data file (use header info to set start address and size) > Loaded to Data (Flash)

This is only when I use a .dat file. I created a COFF file which works (although I have another COFF file from a customer which doesn't work, even though I created it with the same settings from what I see), but the .dat file gives me this message. Is there a reason for this?

ADC_Example_Flash.dat

  • This is only when I use a .dat file. I created a COFF file which work

    My assumption is that the debugger will use the program loader for the COFF file (which would support flashing memory) while DAT formats does not. Looks like HEX and bin files are also supported.

    I was able to confirm that this is the case and this is expected behavior.

    Thanks
