But later sfh_OMAP_L138.exe -erase  did not work. after leaving the board idle for half hour i could erase the flash . after erasing when i use this command sfh_OMAP_L138.exe -flash arm-spi-ais.bin u-boot.bin its reporting error. please help me out i have attached the error report to this post.. I have tried to spi flash many times..

  • Hi Zaheer,

    Please go through this wiki link, cross check once your DIP switch settings and options you are using with tool.

  • HI Satish,

                     I have set the DIP switches S7:7 and S7:8 to on while flashing the unit. So DIP switch settings are correct.

  • Hello Zaheer,

    If you feel the switch settings and tool options are not an issue then could you please download board level tests from logicPD site and run flash test, which confirms there is no issue with board.

    Thanks!!

  • Hi Zaheer,

    If you have registered your kit in logicPD site, then you can download board support lib(BSL) which will be having all the basic tests to check your board functionality. All the tests are CCS projects so you can easily run without booting your board.

    Instead of ais format, you can also try with ubl and u-boot. Also try using CCS flashing method instead of serial flash.

  • Satish,

    ZOOM board worked fine till date.. I did not do any flashing through CCS.. Next day it just worked fine.. Now from morning after trying for long hours got booted up once.. now its not booting up... i could not reproduce the problem.. I have no idea whats happening with the board.

    Later I tried to connect the board through CCS 4 with xds 100v2.

    with S7:5 and 8 ON. after loading gel file when i tried to connect the target i got this error...

    Error connecting to the target:
    Error 0x80002240/-180
    Fatal Error during: Initialization, OCS, Control,

    later i googled on this error.. found

    Can't Initialize Target CPU:
    Error 0x80002240/-180
    Fatal Error during: Initialization, OCS, Control,
    This error was generated by TI's USCIF driver.

    SC_ERR_CTL_NO_TRG_POWER <-180>

    The controller has detected a target power loss.
    The user may have failed to turn-on or connect its source.
