Compiler/TMS320F28335: Missing section in hex file created using hex2000

Part Number: TMS320F28335
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

I have a .out file that I can program using Uniflash that works fine. Flash sectors A, D, & H are programmed. If I convert the .out file to hex as shown below, the hex file only contains data for sectors A and H. D is missing! I want to use Codeskin's C2Prog utility to program the flash with the hex file via serial comms I've had success doing this with code that I've written. This .out file is being generated by a 3rd party.

hex2000.exe -romwidth 16 -memwidth 16 -i -o file.hex file.out

Any ideas?

Just noticed that not only is a .hex file generated, but also a .i10 file that contains the missing Sector D code. Is there a way to force hex2000 to combine the output into a single file?

I manually combined the 2 hex files in to a single file. I can now program the unit with C2Prog. Sectors A,D, & H are all programmed. If anyone knows of a way to force hex2000 to generate a single file, please enlighten me.

Bryon,

I asked our compiler team to help you.

Thanks and regards,

Is sector D on page 1? The hex utility will put different pages in different output files.

I assume that this is the issue. As mentioned above, our company didn't develop the code for this project. Our customer just sent us the .out file so I have no idea what pages/configuration they used. I manually combined the two hex files into a single file (simple copy and paste with a minor edit) and all is well.

Thanks
