About AM1707 developing environment

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM1707

Hi,

 

1. Could I use IAR Embedded workbench IDE 5.3 with JLink to debug and download the code to AM1707? Because IAR it support ARM926EJ-S, I thought it could work appropriately just to modify linker command file, but it didn't work. I don't know if it can really work as I thought, if it is, could somebody tell me what exactly the procedure is?

 

2. Does AM1707 provide the way to access the local ROM when it is just manufactured? I know that it provide a lot of ways to boot, but I wonder that if I can download code without any extra facilities( such as JLink )?

    Calvin,

     I am not sure we are going to be able to help you with setting up IAR Embedded Workbench with your device as that is not a TI recommended IDE for the device. You could try to use Code composer studio v4 in order to connect to your device as it has a lot of in built emulation packages along with editting, debugging features that most IDEs provide.

    The OMAPL1x and AM1x family of devices do not have embedded programmable flash/ROMs.  The on-chip ROMs are hard-coded with boot code and cannot be modified by the user. 

    However it is common for users to store a secondary boot program into external flash memory.  This secondary boot program is loaded into internal memory by the primary boot program stored in the embedded ROM.

    The embedded boot ROM does include APIs referred to as "AIS" commands.

    You can learn more about the boot ROM in the bootloader appnote: http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/sprab41

    I didn't know that on-chip ROMs can not be modified, now I get it, thanks a lot.
