Compiler/TMS320F28069M: Merging bootloader and application projects

Part Number: TMS320F28069M

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hi,

I have two projects. One project for bootloader and another for my application(motor_controller). I want to merge  bootloader.out and motor_controller.out files to create a single .out file, which I can flash.

I referred to this link  http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Combining_executable_files .

I have followed the Example 3: Build boot loader with embedded boot image

ofd2000.exe motor_controller.out 

Output seen:

Step 1
Create the boot image of the application: 

hex2000.exe motor_controller.out --section_name_prefix = 'app_image' --load_image -o app_image.obj

Output seen:

ofd2000.exe app_image.obj

output seen:

 

Step2 :

lnk2000.exe c2000_bootloader.obj app_image.obj F28069_bl.cmd -o boot.out /*  here F28069_bl.cmd is the linker command script i am using */

Output seen :

I am also attaching my linker( attached F28069_bl.txt changed the format to .txt as cmd was unable to attach)

Can anybody help me understand this problem and help me merge the out files.

  • You made a syntax error in your linker command file.  On this line ...

       .app_image          : {*(image_1)} > LOAD=APP_FLASH, RUN=RAML01234    
    

    Remove the character ">".  Then it will work.

    The linker should do a better job of telling you about this syntax error.  So, I filed the entry CODEGEN-6499 in the SDOWP system to have this investigated.  You are welcome to follow it with the SDOWP link below in my signature.

    Thanks and regards,

    -George

  • Hello George,

    Thanks a lot for quick reply. I did remove the character ">", this resolved the first 3 errors. I still do have errors. These errors must be because of my placement of the sections and grouping them in boot loader and application. I am attaching my both linker files for reference.

             Memory blocks on F28069 are uniform (ie same

             Doing so will result in corruption of program
             and/or data.
    
             Contiguous SARAM memory blocks can be combined
             if required to create a larger memory block.

    "../F28069_bl.cmd", line 206: warning: no matching section

    "../F28069_bl.cmd", line 206: warning: memory range not found: RAML01234 on

       memory.  run placement with alignment/blocking fails for section

       ".app_image" size 0 page 1

     

    Thanks

  • Hello George,

    Thanks a lot for quick reply. I did remove the character ">", this resolved the first 3 errors. I still do have errors. These errors must be because of my placement of the sections and grouping them in boot loader and application. I am attaching my both linker files for reference.

  • I reproduced similar problems.  I made two changes, and the problems disappeared.

    On this line ...

      .app_image          : {*(app_image_1)} LOAD=FLASH, RUN=RAML01234
    

    Change FLASH to APP_FLASH.  There is no memory range named FLASH, though there are several memory range names that are similar.  I think you intend to use APP_FLASH, though you might intend to use a different one.

    On this line ...

    codestart           : > BEGIN
    

    Change it to ...

    codestart           : > BEGIN, PAGE 0

  • Hello George, 

    Thank you for pointing this out. I was able to figure that and now I am able to merge boot loader and application.

    Now I see a problem with app_table not being updated in the merged.out file. 

    app_table is defined in boot loader project in bl_entrytable.asm  as 

        .def _pAppEntry

        .def _pAppSig

     .sect "app_table"

    app_table:

    _pAppEntry    .long 0

    _pAppSig      .long 0

     And in my application project I have app_table defined as 

        .ref _pAppEntry

        .ref _pAppSig

       .sect "app_table"

    app_table:

    _pAppEntry    .long code_start

    _pAppSig      .long _CRCTestVector

    When I load the application.out . The memory location app_table in

    memory location: 0x3f4000 :code_start(0x003F 7FF6)

    0x3f4002 :_CRCTestVector(0x003E 58CC)

    which is correct.

    But my merge .out has app_table content as

    memory location: 0x3f4000 : (0xFFFF FFFF)

    0x3f4002 : (0xFFFF FFFF)

    Seems like this section has been not merged. Is it because both section has same content, ie same symbols? 

    How do I merge these symbols and point to the correct location which is present in the application software?

    Thanks

    Nandini   

  • Regarding the problem where the linker did not find the BEGIN memory range on PAGE 0 ... I filed the entry CODEGEN-6506 in the SDOWP system to have this investigated.  You are welcome to follow it with the SDOWP link below in my signature.

    Thanks and regards,
