TMS320F28388D: Configuring TMS320F28388 Board for SCI Boot

Part Number: TMS320F28388D
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: C2000WARE

Hello,

I am in the process of configuring the TMS320F28388 board to boot using the SCI boot method.
The technical reference guide provides information on setting boot options for this purpose,
but I have a few specific inquiries. Your insights on these would be greatly appreciated:

  1. Are there example projects specifically designed for SCI boot implementation available?
  2. What is the procedure for converting an executable file (*.out) into an SCI boot-compatible image?
  3. During the booting process, how is the SCI boot image transferred to the DSP via a serial port? Is there a dedicated software tool required for this?
  4. Are there any critical considerations or best practices to be aware of when developing an SCI boot project?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    Hi Daniel,

    1. Yes there is an example project for SCI for this board available. It is located here in C2000Ware: 
         
        C:\ti\c2000\C2000Ware_5_01_00_00\driverlib\f2838x\examples\c28x_dual\flash_kernel

    2. The procedure for converting an executable file (*.out) to SCI image is stated in the Serial Flash Programming document for C2000 devices (ti.com/lit/sprabv4).

    3. The SCI boot image is transferred to the DSP via serial port through the SCI Bootloader. This software resides in the boot ROM section of memory for the device.

    4. Critical considerations and best practices to develop for the SCI boot project are outlined in the SPRABV4 document.

    Thanks and regards,
