TMS320F28069: UniFlash 6.1 no longer launches application after programming 28069 via command-line

UniFlash version 6.0 (and prior) automatically restarts a 28069 Launchpad after programming via the command line.

This is no longer the case with UniFlash 6.1. Is this change in behavior intentional?

Also, I tried to enable the automatic restart by adding the "-r 0" option to the command line, but this does not seem to have an effect.

I am able to reproduce this issue. I will follow up with engineering and will let you know of any updates.

Thanks

There was indeed an intentional change in 6.1. To specify the target to run after flashing, please add the -u option. This worked for me.

Thanks

Thank you for the quick feedback!

Is the "-u" option backward compatible with older versions?

Unfortunately, no. It is a new option starting with 6.1.0 for running the target (as the new default behavior is to not run after flashing). Previous versions always ran the target after flashing so such an option was never needed.

Further using the -u option on older versions will actually throw an error.
