Flashing TMS320F2812 using SDFlash

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320F2812

Hi All,

I am a first time embedded programmer. I am working on a motor controller application designed with TMS320F2812. I am trying to load my program into sector 3D8000 to 3F3FFF using SDFlash. I am trying to reuse another program's sdp for the purpose. I thought I just need to make changes to existing sdp only for pointing to .out file path. Is this correct? How does sdflash know that I need to program 3d8000 - 3f3fff? Is this part of .out?

The .out file is the binary or executable. It is the result of compilation and linker. So, it will contain the addresses for the data/program that is to be loaded into the device.

I have another project's sdp with me. I just need to modify that sdp to point to my program .out file. Can you confirm?
How can I understand the flash area if I am given an out file? Is there any way?
The flash area given in my previous question was collected from program requirement notes. How can I confirm it looking at the out file?

What is a project's sdp? I am not sure what sdp is?

You can look at the .map file to see the memory requirements for each section. The build should generate this file.

.sdp is SDFlash project file. I was referring to documentation on SDFlash Programming Utilities (SDFlash Algo Version 4.1).

As per the documentation, I am supposed to create a project file with Erase, Program, Verify options saved as .sdp. I have yet another project's .sdp. I am planning to reuse it. This sdp file has Erase UserOption set to 03FF, Program UserOptions as blank and Verify UserOptions set to the default values - these are per the documentation provided.

The only change I am planning to do is refer to my application's .out file in Program tab.

Please let me know whether this is correct.

Sounds good to me. Give it a shot and let me know if you have any questions.
