Part Number: F28M35H52C
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Hello,

Our goal is to use a script to flash the C28 and M3 and then run the firmware to do some testing...

We use the following commands:

Flash C28:

DSLite flash -c f28m35h52c1.ccxml -l generated.ufsettings -f -v c28.out -n 1 -e

Flash M3:

DSLite flash -c f28m35h52c1.ccxml -l generated.ufsettings -f -v m3.out -e

Is there a way to restart the device via command line without having to power off the board ?

I read some posts about using 'uniflash_exe ..... -targetOp restart'

What is this binary? Does it come with older versions of uniflash? With uniflash 4.2, I don't see an other way but to use DSLite in ccs_base/DebugServer/bin.

Right now, I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 but the goal is to use the script on a windows machine...

Thanks for your help.

Ril,

UniFlash v4 CLI does not support the reset/restart/run feature yet.
It is supported on UniFlash v3.

Thanks and regards,
Vamsi

The UniFlash 4.2 GUI seems to be able to run the target.. How does that work? Any way I can get the DSLite CLI to run my target?

I'd like to program my CC26xx from OS X and it seems UniFlash v3 doesn't support OS X

Skot,

We do not support running the target using DSLite CLI at this time. This is something we are looking into adding in future releases.

If you need this type of functionality right now, a workaround would be to install CCS on OSX. CCS comes with DSS scripting, and you can then write a script to load your program to your CC26xx and run the target.

Thanks,
Ricky

Hi Ricky,

Thanks for your help. I'll look into DSS. Do you think I could DSS script UniFlash v4 instead of CSS? I found this wiki entry () but It only mentions windows.

thanks,

Skot,

I would imagine that the instructions for getting DSS to work in UniFlash for OSX would be similar to the provided instructions for Windows. But to be honest, I have not tested this myself, so I'm not sure if there are any extra steps to get everything working.

Thanks,
Ricky
