TMS320F28335: Uniflash standalone package size

Part Number: TMS320F28335
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Tool/software:

Hi,

We're using Uniflash to generate a standalone package to perform updates to our remote customers. It 's working well. But the issue we've is the size of the package, nearly 140MB unzipped for a image.out size of 1MB only.

We wonder if there is a way to reduce the package's size since we only use one kind of CPU, and one kind of JTAG probe (xds100v2) ?

If not, does a SDK exist so that we could create our own application and send only the image.out to be updated.

Thank you,

Regards,

    Yes the package also includes various debugger and driver files required to connect to the target and flash it. To be fair, it probably bundles too much extra stuff that can be removed.

    Probably. But that would be a manual step of extracting the zip and then manually deleting the files for non-relevant devices and probes.

    And SDK to create your own little application to connect to and flash your target? I am not aware of one.

    Thanks
