TMDSCNCD28388D: Command-line load program to board

Part Number: TMDSCNCD28388D
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMDSHSECDOCK, , UNIFLASH

I am using a TMDSCNCD28388D in a TMDSHSECDOCK board. I can build a project from the command line but have not figured out how to load an OUT file to a processor (RAM or FLASH). Is there a way to do this?

  • Hi Craig ,
    Will get back to you

  • Hi Craig ,
    If your project is a CCS project you can directly load your .out file by either clicking on the "Debug Project" ( If you want a debug session ) or "Flash Project" . Program will get loaded in RAM or FLASH based on which build configuration is active (e.g. here Flash configuration is active )

    If its not in proper CCS project format , then in that case you need to make a target configuration file for your device in CCS explicitly.

    To do so :-

    1) open CCS
    2) open debug section , there you will see target configuration section . Click on '+' , give name to the file . It will create a ccxml file.
    3) Choose appropriate connection and board in that file ( tip - you can refer to target configuration of an example for your device from SDK)
    4) After creating , right click on the target configuration file you just created. Click on "start project-less debug".
    5) Right click on the appropriate core in threads section and then click on "connect target" and put that core in halt state.
    6) Now Click on "Run" option , located in the top side of CCS.
    7) Click on load and then load program.
    8)Then select your .out file from there , it will load your program.

    Note - I am using CCS version 20.3.1.

    I hope it answers your query.

    Regards,

  • Sorry, my question was not specific. I would like to load the program into RAM or FLASH from the command line, not through CCS.

  • Hi Craig , 
    TI provides  UniFlash app which is flash programming tool used to program firmware into TI MCUs and processors. It has a standalone command line tool too.
    I recommend you to go through its documentation , standalone CLI tool part.
