C2000-GANG: C2000-GANG ERROR 354

A GIR
Genius 3615 points
Part Number: C2000-GANG

Hello,

It is the first time I use the C2000 Gang programmer.

My target is a F28377S.

I can read into the memory (communciation is OK)

But, if I want program, I have an Error 354:

"Nothing to program/verify - empty code in selected memory space"

In more, When I "Open Code File", choose my .hex file, on the right, displayed size and CheckSum is 0!

According advice found into this forum, I renamed My image file to .txt, and open it.

I have a popup: "Code file contents warnings: See report window for details".

I attache this file.

Where see the report window? Why my file can't be read?

SMD_Project.txt

    Hi,

    The file you attached is inside has the Motorola format while extension is in txt - TI format. Also make sure that the hex format contains 16 bits wide data, not default 8 bits wide data. Use the hex2000.exe from TI for conversion the files you got  from IDE, then use the final file with C2000-GANG.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Hello,
    I only rename the .hex file to .txt file to read it directly into notepad.
    I understand My mistake.
    In fact, I always generate an S19 file, but under extension ".hex"....
    I just rename the file to ".S19" and this Run correctly.
    I think C200-Gang use the extension to detect the file format. Not read into the file to determine the format, right?

    Then, now, I try to flash! but block on erasing the block 0xC0000 (Where my code start => 0xC0010…)

    Hallo


    After try, this is always same.

    The erase is Ok from 0x80000 to 0xBE000 (Bank0)

    But as soon as start to erase 0xC0000 (Bank1) error still present (TimeOut)

    Also I try to erase flash with my BlackHawk, all is Ok. Then after that (with Blank memory) I make "Program", all program is well flashed (into 0xC0000 and later..)

    I set DSP Clock to 20MHz I don't know if it is Ok?

    Hi

    Can you erase Bank 1 now using C2000-GANG or the bank 1 cannot be erased again using C2000-GANG, because it is not clear for me from your email.

    Best regards
    Gregory

    C2000-Gang CAN'T erase the Bank1 flash.

    Then I just want try the "Program" part with C2000-Gnag, but this must be done only on a Blank flash.
    So I erased the flash with another way (BlackHawk), then try program with C2000-Gang => this operation run correctly

    -> C2000-GANG CAN "PROGRAM" Bank 0 and Bank 1
    -> but C2000-Gang CAN'T ERASE Bank1.

    Hi,
    This come critical for us because we bought the C2000-gang but I never think to try it.
    Now, we start a first production of 100 pcs. Then we can't loss time by flashing our application with CCS and the JTAG Blackhawk debugger!... :-(

    What manipulation can I do to check some think? I now the C2000 has instruction to access to the bank 0 or Bank1

    - InitFlash_Bank0 / 1
    - FLash driver SeizeFlashPump_Bank0 / 1

    Are they Something similar for the C2000-Gang to enable Bank access?

    Sorry to insist, but that becomes really problematic for us.
    We bought this tool several months ago $ 350.
    I have not tested it before. I was not worried that it would work without problems (like the P & E cyclone we already have)

    Today it's been a month since we absolutely needed this tool. We can not produce properly without it, the time lost is enormous.

    I absolutely have to make this tool work as quickly as possible.
    Thank you

    Hello

    I haven't new since some days.

    If my file image has data only on the First Bank, all work (only If I indicate to erase only the necessary flash)
    But if I have at least one word into Bank 1, problem occurs.

    Then this come very critical for us. We loosing a lot of time in production to flash our board with a jtag debug Blackhawk.. This work around is not acceptable for us anymore.

    We loosing lot of time then lot of money. More than the price of the C2000-Gang programmer!
    Please, Is somebody has already use this tool in F28337 Bank1 (address > 0xC0000)?

    Is there a solution?
    Please advice me as soon as possible, because if there is no solution, we could try to buy another programmer.
    Thank
    :-(

    Hi,

    Sorry to hear this.  Elprotronic responded in the weekend and I was able to discuss this with them.  They will update their tool to program the second bank as well.

    Thanks and regards,

    Hello,

    After try, this work properly on empty microcontroller.

    But If I test on microcontroller already programmed, this failed on the same step (Erase 0C0000, error 71)

    Please, could you try this issue?
    Thank

    Arnaud,

    I discussed this with Elprotronic and they conveyed to me that the latest install helped you to erase an already programmed device today.
    Can you confirm?

    Thanks and regards,
