I get a cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

UniFlash is not available for running on Arm based hosts. UniFlash is available for x86 machines running Windows/Linux/macOS.

Hi John,

Is there any way to flash it on Jetson (i.e. provide an ARM binary). Would the command line interface tool work?

The command line interface for UniFlash is not available for Arm either. What device are you trying to program? I can forward to that team as maybe they have some other solution for programming from an Arm host.

John

Got it. I am trying to program the IWR6843ISK via Jetson NX. It would be great if you have some other solution for programming on Arm host.

Thanks. I will loop in the Radar team.

The Uniflash tool has installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

You can also try the web-based Uniflash tool here: https://dev.ti.com/uniflash/#!/

I am not sure it if is has been verified on an ARM host, but you are welcome to try and see if that works or not.

Kyle

Hi Kyle,

Do you think you can recompile the source code such that it is supported on ARM (or provide the source code)?
Or do you have any other way to flash through ARM?

I do not manage the source code for the Uniflash tool, so I do not have the ability the recompile it such that it is supported on ARM.

Did you try the online Uniflash tool?

Regards,
Kyle

Kyle,

The questions on UniFlash have already been answered earlier in the thread. UniFlash is not available for running on an Arm host. That would involve porting, building and releasing a pretty extensive software stack. There are no plans to do this at this time.

The question is in Radar do we have a way to program this device (likely over a non-JTAG path) that can be done from a host processor such as an Arm.

REgards,

John

Running code on IWR6843ISK requires either flashing a CCS debug image or an application binary to the EVM using Uniflash. These are the two options for programming the device and both require the use of Uniflash.

Kyle
