Compiler/TMS320F28379D: Programmer stuck during using serial_flash_programmer.exe to flash TI board

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

I was trying to use serial_flash_programmer.exe to flash the TI board. Before the flash process, I had set the TI board as the SCI boot mode according to the attached diagram ( GPIO 84 =1, GPIO 72 = 0, TRST = 0). Then, I tried to flash the TI board use the sample text file from f2837xD_fw_upgrade_example folder ( F2837xD_sci_flash_kernels_cpu01.txt and blinky_dc_cpu01.txt). Here is the flash command I had used for flash : serial_flash_programmer.exe -d f2837xD -k F2837xD_sci_flash_kernels_cpu01.txt -a blinky_dc_cpu01.txt -p COM7.

However, the flash progress seems stuck at downloading F2837xD_sci_flash_kernels_cpu01.txt stage (as the second attached image). May I know if anyone meet this situation before ? Thank you.

I presume this is with the F28379D controlCARD? If yes, I believe I know the issue and will send details tonight.

Thanks,

Sira

Hi Sira,

Thank you for your reply.

I am not really sure what does your controlCard means. I am using LAUNCHXL-F28379D.

Kindly let me know if you want more details.

Thank you.

Hi Jiahao,

The LaunchXL-F28379D does not support Boot to SCI mode. Refer to the attached picture, from SPRUI77, the LAUNCHXL-F28379D user's guide.

The alternative mentioned in the highlighted text is the ControlCARD.

Thanks,

Sira

Hi Sira,

Thank you for your reply and information.

Currently, we are using CCS8 to flash the TMDSCNCD28379D. However, we want to find a easier way to flash the TMDSCNCD28379D. That's why I am trying to flash the control card by using serial flash programmer. We will appreciate if you can suggest some other ways to flash the TMDSCNCD28379D.

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Jiahao
