TMS320C6678: Problem with not being assigned an IP address

Part Number: TMS320C6678

Tool/software:

Hello,
I am a user working with EvKit on the TMS320C6678.

I am encountering an issue where the network address is not being assigned consistently. Specifically, the image is stored in NOR flash, and after booting, when the same image is loaded into RAM again using XDS100, the network address fails to initialize every time.

The IP address is successfully assigned during booting when the image is loaded from NOR. However, I need a solution to ensure that the IP address is also assigned correctly when the same image is uploaded to RAM.

I would appreciate your guidance on resolving this issue.

Best regards

  • Hi, 

    The expert is still out of the office.

    To help understand your issue, what SDK is being used here? 

    When the image is stored in NOR flash and loaded from NOR, where is it getting loaded? We are assuming RAM.. let us know.

    How it differs from your statement  -"However, I need a solution to ensure that the IP address is also assigned correctly when the same image is uploaded to RAM.". Please clarify.

    Thanks.

  • Hello,

    I am using mcsdk_2_01_02_06 and have built the sys/bios mcsdk_2_01_02_06/demos/hua project to generate the hua_evmc6678l.out image. This image was flashed to NOR using norwriter_evm6678l.out, and the system was successfully booted.

    When the hua_evmc6678l.out application is stored in NOR memory and the system boots, the IP address is assigned correctly. However, after a normal boot, if I reload the hua_evmc6678l.out image using XDS100 and CCS, the IP address fails to be assigned. This issue consistently occurs 100% of the time.

    I need a solution to ensure that the IP address is correctly assigned while debugging with CCS.

    Thank you.
