CCS/TMS320F28379D: Loading two executable in different flash sectors in Debugging Window

Part Number: TMS320F28379D


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I am using the F28379D experimental kit and CCS V8.3 for my software development.

I have a requirement to load two executable in two sets of different flash sectors. 

Executable 1 - FLASH A,B,C,D and N

Executable 2 - FLASH E,F,G

I have created two projects in code composer studio to generate two executable and in the debug configuration of each project, updated with Flash settings.

Now my question are,

1. How can i have two project connected in the Debug window. Is it possible?

2. If not possible to have two or multiple projects connected in debug window, How can i load two different executable in different flash sectors from a single project debug window.

Regards,

Munaf

    Munaf,

    Since you have two projects where the sections are mapped to different Flash sectors, you can load them to Flash without any problem.  You can import any number of projects in to CCS.  

    When loading the executables to Flash, you need to make sure you don't erase entire Flash.  In CCS On-chip Flash Plugin GUI, you can select the "Necessary sectors only" option in erase settings.  Flash plug-in will detect the sectors that need to be erased and erase only those sectors.  This way you can make sure you won't erase the other project's image.

    Let me know if you have any specific questions.

    Thanks and regards,

    Hi,

    Thank you for the response.

    I have used CCS 3.3. In this version of CCS, "On-chip Flash Plugin GUI" give the freedom to choose the flash sectors just before loading the software.

    Do you have such flexibility in new CCS. For us it is really required to show that we are loading on to the right flash sectors. Also it help us debugging the SW and understanding the sw issues better.

    Munaf,

    Yes, that feature exists in new CCS as well (CCS debugger view -> Tools -> On-chip Flash).

    Glad it provides you more flexibility in choosing the sectors and for debug.

    Thanks and regards,
