Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO,
I'm trying to do some configuration management on some DSP devices I have (using a 6455 DSP). I want to either fully read back the firmware, or at least get a checksum so that I can track things properly.
I'm new to CCStudio. from doing some reading, I may be able to do this with the BlackHawk BHLoader programmer/application that I have. I do not see an option for reading the checksum or memory off of a part. I would love to know if there is a simple way to do this, because the way I'm thinking of trying it is complicated as heck.
my complicated way: according to some things I've read, the CCS programming will read its own output buffer when writing, but the BHLoader software will actually read back the address that was written to. so, if I write all 0xFF to the part, it shouldn't be able to modify a 0 to a 1 (without an erase function first), and thus every time it reads where it wrote, it should get back what was already there, therefore reading back the part. does that make sense?
also, to do this, the BHLoader instructions say to get a Board Data File from CCS, but I can't seem to figure out how to do that. any help with that would be awesome.
