Debug problem F2837XD

Danilo,

There are a few things I can recommend:

1. Try to perform a standalone mass erase on Flash. This is to confirm that the Flash is still working as expected.

To perform a mass erase, launch a debug session for your configuration, go to `Tools -. On-Chip Flash` and look for the erase button.

2. If erase is successful, try loading a smaller example program. This is to determine if the problem is specific to the program you are loading.

3. Turn on verbose mode. This option is in the On-Chip Flash view as well (very bottom). This will give you more information on what the program loader is doing during Flash Programming.

4. Try turning off the Auto ECC Generation option in the On-Chip Flash view. Since the error is a verification error, there might be a problem with verifying the ECC.

5. If it turns out to be a problem with the program you are loading, please let me know if you can send me this program for debugging purposes.

6. Also, please let me know which version of CCS you are using.

Thanks,

Ricky

Hello there,

I had a similar problem with the "TMS320F28379D controlCARD R1.3", while trying to program the flash I was getting the following error messages:

C28xx_CPU1: GEL Output:
Memory Map Initialization Complete
C28xx_CPU1: If erase/program (E/P) operation is being done on one core, the other core should not execute from shared-RAM (SR) as they are used for the E/P code. Also, CPU1 will be halted to determine SR ownership for the CPU which will run the Flash Plugin code, after which CPU1 will be set to run its application. User code execution from SR could commence after both flash banks are programmed.

It seems that in my case the issue was due to fact that I was powering up the card with a USB cable plugged in the J17 USB connector on the docking board and maybe the USB port was not able to supply enough power. I then used an external power supply plugged in the J1 connector of the docking board and the issues disappeared. In my setup I noticed that the docking board and the control card would use about 250 mA.

Hope that this will help other who encounter similar weird issues.

Best regards,

Doru
