TMS320F280049C: Uniflash .txt file image verification error and load warning

Hello,

What were the options used to generate the hex files?

Thanks

ki

The only options i have are included in the screenshots below. The other "C2000 Hex Utility" do not have any entries or checked options.

Thanks

David

I believe for C2000 you typically need to set memwidth and romwidth to 16. There may be some other options needed.

I'll bring this thread to the attention of the C2000 experts.

Thanks

Hi David,

Are you choosing to use ALIGN(8) when configuring the addresses in your linker cmd file before generating the project?

Thanks and regards,

Charles

Not sure where that should be. I have included my linker command file below:

Hi David,

Uniflash doesn't support the ti_txt file format. Please try using the hex format instead by leaving the output format dropdown blank in the C2000 Hex Utility. If this project is to be used with a flash kernel/sent over SCI, see the post build steps listed in Serial Flash Programming of C2000 Microcontrollers (Rev. H) section 3.

Best,

Alex

Hi Alex,

The purpose of the .txt option is to be sent over SCI. Regarding the post build steps since the Section 3 of the document you referenced mentioned  the following:

This file format can even be generated as part of the Code Composer Studio build process by adding a post-build step with the following options: "${CG_TOOL_HEX}" "${BuildArtifactFileName}" -boot -sci8 -a -o "${BuildArtifactFileBaseName}.txt"

Where can i enter that in the CCS properties for my project.

Thanks

David Nyarko
