UNIFLASH: Uniflash Command Line issue

Hi Subramanyan,

The CLI expects the full file path, or the file path relative to the SLImageCreator.exe file. Can you update the file path to your user_files folder?

Best regards,

Sarah

Hi Sarah,

This did not work. We changed the paths to absolute paths and it did not many any difference.

Hi Sarah,

The following forum link indicates that CLI will not work with CC3235SF and we have to use instructions related to command line in the document "UniFlash CC3x20, CC3x3x SimpleLink Wi-Fi® and Internet-on-a chip Solution ImageCreator and Programming Tool" to program from command line.

https://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless-connectivity/wifi/f/wi-fi-forum/975813/cc3220sf-uniflash-standalone-command-line-won-t-work/3605706?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=standalone%20command%20line#3605706

The feedback from TI in the above link says that we cannot use ccxml and instead have to use json.

Could you check this and clarify what needs to be done.

Thanks and Regards,

Subramanyan

Hi Sarah,

I have copied the code in the dslite.bat which is present in the genreated .zip file.

I think the dslite binary is executed from ccs_base\DebugServer\bin directory and not the SLImageCreator.exe.

Hi, 

I was able to flash my TI Dev Kit with the following command. It uses the dslite from the Uniflash installed directory.

dslite image program --file C:\ti\uniflash_6.1.0\TI_OTA_Programming_2303.sli --port COM8

The generated Command Line package (.zip) still does not work though.
