Flashing bootloader(.bin) to NOR Flash on TMDXICE3359 Using CCSv5.2

Hello,everyone,

I'am using am335x_sysbios_ind_sdk_1.0.0.6   &   TMDXICE3359    &   CCS5.2.0.00069  and  trying to boot from NOR Flash.

I want  put  boot_NOR.bin  into  NOR Flash....

Should  I write NOR BootLoader to 0x8000_0000(sector number 0) and application to 0x8010_0000(sector number 1)  of  NOR  Flash? Right? 

But,I'am refer  to

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM335x_SYSBIOS_Industrial_SDK_Getting_Started_Guide#Flashing_Binaries_to_NOR_Flash_on_ICE.C2.A0Using_CCS

It‘s  example  says that  write both NOR BootLoader  and application to 0x0801_0000 of NOR Flash?

Looking forward to your answer.thx!

Regards,

Jupiter.

    Hi Jupiter,

    You are right. NOR Bootloader need to be flashed to sector 0. And normally application can be written to sector 1. You don't need to provide the NOR address , you need to specify the sector address. NOR Flasher application will take care of the real address to which the flashing will happen.

    NOR Flashing works as given below,

    • Gets the operation type from user ( Flash or erase)
    • Gets the file path of the binary to be flashed.( Using this, the flasher application finds the size of the binary)
    • Gets the NOR sector to which the binary to be flashed
    • Tells the user to load the binary file to ICE DDR address 0x80100000 using CCS Load memory option ( Note that NOR flasher already knows the files size)
    • Once load memory operation is completed, enter zero.
    • Flasher then flashes the binary file [resent in DDR to NOR.

    Hope this clarifies.

    Regards,

    Hello Shahid,

    Thanks for your confirming.

    I burst NOR Bootloader(boot_NOR.bin)   and  application(ethercat_NOR.bin)  into NOR flash  successfully.

    After I boot the TMDXICE3359 Board,I can see LEDs (D25  D27  D29  D30)  are  bright,I don't known this meaning to what? 

    Is ethercat_slave running?

    (I used  boot_NOR.bin  and  ethercat_NOR.bin  from  am335x_sysbios_ind_sdk_prebuilt_01_00_00_07.zip)

    I can't  confirm it  whether belongs  to  normal situation,because I used  TMDXICE3359  communicating with  ethercat-master(IgH master in ubuntu)  appearing  errors.

    In addition,I attached the wireshark log, the IgH master syslog(dmesg informations)   and  above informations  in a ZIP file.

    (About wireshark log, I run ubuntu in VMware,and IgH master use  a "generic"  driver.)

    Hope the ZIP file conducive to you to help me.


    Addition, when I used  twisted-pair  linking  between  PC(win 7)  and    TMDXICE3359  realizing  IgH-master communicate  with  TMDXICE3359, D8 LED is constant flashing rapidly,and D6 LED is flashing a every second.

    Thx  in advance !
