CCS/TMS320F280045: Flash multiple Targets simultaneously

ChristianUT
Prodigy 60 points

Part Number: TMS320F280045
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I found this video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-W4eWYBnN4

It seems like if the two Targets get programmed successively (5:30).

Is it possible to program the two Targets simultaneously?

I am using two TMS320F280045 Mircrocontrollers and two XDS110 debug probes.

Thanks for your Support!

    Hi,

    You can only program one device at a time with one CCS instance.

    I remember we can program two devices simultaneously with two CCS instances (connected to two separate devices with two separate emulators). 

    I will ask our CCS team to confirm the same for you. 

    Thanks and regards,

    Christian,

    CCS supports programming multiple devices but you are correct that in this case it will do them in sequence and not in parallel.  Multiple instances of CCS would not be ideal for debugging.  If you are just trying to program a bunch of devices you could use the uniflash command-line interface.  That would be faster and would skip the symbol load time for the debugger.

    Regards,

    John

    Christian,

    Unlike CCS where you can load the code, put breakpoints, step-execute etc. during development/debug, note that UniFlash does not come with debug environment. It is a standalone Flash programmer. 

    Thanks and regards,

    Hi Vamis

    Hi John

    Thank you so much for your fast replays. As you suspected John, in a first step, I just want to progam multiple devices in a panel design. I just downloaded uniflash and had a first look at it. It seams to be exactly what I need. I would like to ask, if there already exist a .bat template for multiple download?

    Thanks for your Support!

    Christian,

    I am not aware of a batch file that exists.  I would create 2 separate .ccxml files.  Make sure that each identifies the XDS110 that is being used by serial number.  Then have your batch file or script call uniflash/dslite for each .ccxml.

    Regards,

    John
