TMS320F28379D: FLASH Memory Check during Bootup

Archit Shah

Part Number: TMS320F28379D
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE

Hello,

We have a requirement to check the integrity of FLASH memory during boot up. I have no idea how to implement this. Until now, I have heard that its a best practice to check the memory every time MCU powers up. Can anyone please point me to appropriate resources and would appreciate if someone can share a sample code for that. I appreciate your help. Thanks.

Regards,

Archit

Archit,

You can include a checksum test to validate the Flash contents. You can use the Fapi_calculateFletcherChecksum() function in the Flash API library. Checkout this function description in http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spnu595/spnu595.pdf.

F021_API_F2837xD_FPU32.lib is provided at controlSUITE\device_support\F2837xD\v210\F2837xD_common\lib folder.

Thanks and regards,
Vamsi

Archit,

Hope you are able to use the checksum function from the API. I am closing this thread.

Thanks and regards,
