Tool/software:
Hi TI,
We had a meeting with a potential customer for the F29 today. They have an request regarding their F29 mass production. They are using locked flash boot mode for production, therefore need to be able to program the device in this state without switching to UART boot mode.
Based on our current experience and understanding, the official F29 programming method involves booting from UART, then using the uart_flash_programmer PC tool to load and run the flash kernel binary. From there, the uart_flash_programmer interacts with the flash kernel running in RAM to transfer other images for programming.
To address the customer's need, we believe two things are required:
-
A version of the flash kernel project or binary that can be flashed onto the F29 and will boot from flash.
-
The uart_flash_programmer must be able to properly communicate and interact with the flash kernel when it is started from flash boot mode.
Can you confirm if our understanding is correct? Will there be updates or solutions available from TI to meet this customer requirement?
