F2837x ROM Flash API

Jordan Zhou

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE

Hi,

For F2837x, is there any Flash API in ROM, that customer can call? In F2802x, there's the lib: 2802x_FlashAPI_BootROMSymbols_v2.01.lib.

The F021_API_F2837XD_FPU32.lib is a little large, which cost Flash memory.

Vivek Singh,

Thanks for your reply.

The Flash API costs a lot of RAM when used. Is there any way to save these RAM for user application?

The Flash API is just for customized boot loader. After that, there's no Flash operation.

One option is the customized bootloader could pull in a kernel that includes the API itself through the communications port.

An example:

controlSUITE\device_support\~Utilities\serial_flash_programmer
controlSUITE\device_support\~Utilities\usb_flash_programmer
