TMS320F28P650DK: FOE update on EtherCAT

Part Number: TMS320F28P650DK

Tool/software:

Hi experts,

My customer is using F28P65 to develop EtherCAT project.

They are developing FOE function. So they need to use CCS to export the bin file. The  features of bin file are as follows:

1. Size of bin file is the same with FLASH of F28P65. (Unused FLASH space is filled with F in the bin file)  

2. Add the CRC check code at the end of the bin file.

Any suggestions for this issue?

Thanks,

Leo 

  • Hi Leo,

    To export the bin file in CCS you need to use the save memory option from the memory browser:

    Once clicked, you must then save the filetype (ex. "testing.bin") and select the file type output as .bin :

    Then, you have to specifiy the memory range (data) and length in words. If you wish to save the full memory range for the bin to be comparable to the memory range for the device, you need to input the starting address for main flash (0x80000) and the number of words (for range from 0x80000-0x120000, the length in words will be 0xA0000 words for the entire max range).

    Thanks,
    Charles

  • Hi Charles,

    Thank you for your support.

    I try the tools you mentioned.

    that's 50000 words for the entire max range

    Should it be 0xA0000? (0x120000-0x80000=0xA0000)

    And by the way

    The 1.28M means "1.28 * 1000 * 1024Byte" or "1.28 * 1024 * 1024Bytes"?

    Thanks,

    Leo

  • Hi Leo,

    Yes it should be 0xA0000 for length in words, thank you for the correction.
