On-Chip Flash - Property for node name FlashProgrammerNode could not be found

Robert Wolfe

Hello,

I'm migrating a TMS320C2810 project over, from CCS 3.1 to CCS V5.1.  I can build the project, etc.  Now I need to be able to flash the resulting output to the processor, i.e. the same thing done with F28xx On-chip Flash Progammer Tool in CCS 3.1.  However, in CCS 5.1, as soon as I select Tools On-Chip Flash, it brings up the On-Chip Flash window, but has the message:

"Property for node name FlashProgrammerNode could not be found".

and nothing else.  Can't do much flash programming, with that. 

Please advise.

Robert

P.S.  I'm using CCS 5.1 for other, separate projects (C6748) and Target Configurations, if that factors into this issue at all.

    I suspect there is nothing in the On-Chip Flash dialog box because there is no flash on the "C" devices in that family.  Do you by chance have a F2810?  If you configure the target configuration for that device you should see the Flash dialog box populated with its normal options.

    Regards,

    Thanks for the reply. 

    It is F2810 ;)  I switch between C and F parts, so lost track of the proper letter.

    I changed the target configuration, to the F2810.  And the On-Chip Flash dialog is now populated.  However, it appears to be missing a few things.  Most importantly the "Program Load" button.  Also, the "Erase Sector Selection" only has sectors A through E, where as the flash utility under CCS V3.3 has A through J.

    I've tried to attach a picture of the top and bottom, showing the full On-Chip box.

    Robert,

    No problem, happy to help out!

    To load the program you'll need to go to the "Run" (I know...counter intuitive...) menu at the top of CCS when you're in the debug perspective.  In there you should see a "Load" entry, and if you hover over that another menu will appear that has the option to "Load Program".

    The flash plug in is actually correct to not show F-J.  You are using a F2810 which is a 128KB part.  If you had configured the target configuration for a F2812, you would have the option to erase all the sectors.

    Make sense now?

    Regards,

    Ah yes, very good :-) First F2810 flash completed under CCS V5.1.

    Thanks much,
