TMS320F28335: LED blinks in stand alone status

Hi Han,

Are you using the timed LED blink example from c2000ware?

C:\ti\c2000\C2000Ware_2_00_00_03\device_support\f2833x\examples\timed_led_blink

What changes have you made to the project to make it run standalone from flash? By default the example is configured to run from RAM.

See this App Report for running code from flash:

Best,

Kevin

I'm using LED flashing, the default environment for uC / OS-II provided by Mirium.
Just use the link command file as an example provided by TI for run in Flash.

The link command file is as follows:

When I run debugging, the LED blinks well. But when I reconnect after removing the JTAG port, nothing happens.

I do not think that using uC / OS provided by Mirium does not work in Flash.

When run with debugging, I think the commands in the text area in Flash are well executed.

I just don't know how to check stand alone status after uploading to flash.

Thanks, Han

Hi Han,

OK, that linker command file looks fine. Few things you could be missing listed below:

• Include DSP2833x_CodeStartBranch.asm in project from C2000ware:
  • C:\ti\c2000\C2000Ware_2_00_00_03\device_support\f2833x\common\source
• May need to copy function from Flash to RAM in project. Use Memcpy function with Ramfuncs as arguments

Best,

Kevin

I made the addition as you said, and the code that uses the MemCopy function to get the code in Flash into RAM runs fine.
Therefore, when running in debugging mode in CCS, the LEDs work well. But after turning off the power, I don't know why it doesn't run automatically.

How do you make sure this board is running standalone?
I'm using a Texas Instrumnets XDS100v2 USB Debug Probe with power, and I'm using an Experimenter's Kit-Delfino F28335.

Is it right to run standalone in this environment?

Thanks, Kevin

1 was written under SW2, so I thought Jump to Flash was low.
Thanks, I confirmed it worked well.

But can you tell me what 1 means under SW2?

Regards, Han
