Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH
Tool/software: Code Composer Studio
Hello! I'm trying to find out what my options are for programming my device for the first time in a type of manufacturing setting. Our boards are assembled by a third party, but when they get here to be installed in our tools, they still need to be programmed. I know i can use code composer and input my application code into it and then use debug mode to program my device through the JTAG. Is there another way for the code to be loaded into the device through the JTAG without needing the full c++ code and code composer?
I'm able to create a hex file from my compiled code in order to bootload it serially later, but in order to run my bootloader, there needs to be code on the device which runs on start up which calls the bootloader. I was hoping there might be a simple program that would load a hex file into the device through the JTAG just to make the process simpler, and that we if i needed someone to loader the firmware from scratch, they wouldn't need the uncompiled code first.
Thanks for any advice!
