CCS/TMS320F28334: Need clarification on the different HEX conversion formats (hex2000.exe)

Part Number: TMS320F28334
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi, Support Team,

1. Does the content of .txt file and .hex file generated by below method have same ?

    1. hex2000.exe -boot -sci8 -a -o application.txt application.out

    2. hex2000.exe -romwidth 16 -i -o application.hex  application.out

2. Does TI has any other tool to download .hex file directly into controller (instead of using serial_flash_programmer.exe)?

3. Does TI has any other tool for converting ".out" to ".txt" format(instead of using hex2000.exe) ?

Awaiting for your quick reply.

Thank you,

Regards,

Bhanu

    No.  Well, you could consider using the utility bootimage from the cg_xml package.  It is significantly less capable than hex2000.  But it does come with the Perl source code for it.

    Does TI has any other tool to download .hex file directly into controller (instead of using serial_flash_programmer.exe)?
