TMS320C6678LE I2C EEPROM writer error on IBL

yahir amat

I'm trying to run the MCSDK video PKT demos,

The first part of this demo is to flash the board using IBL:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/BIOS_MCSDK_2.0_User_Guide#IBL

The board is no boot mode, when I run the script to flash script"EVM c6678 IBL" -> setConfig_c6678_main. I get the following error.

I have follow the instruction from the user guide

Error:

[C66xx_0] EEPROM Writer Utility Version 01.00.00.04
[C66xx_0]
[C66xx_0] Writing 51932 bytes from DSP memory address 0x80000000 to EEPROM bus address 0x0051 starting from device address 0x0000 ...
[C66xx_0] Returned platform error number is 4
[C66xx_0] EEPROM write failed

Thanks.

Yahir, Which MCSDK video and MCSDK bios version are your using? Please note (from wiki link) "For BIOS-MCSDK 2.0.8 and prior, please use address 0x80000000 instead of 0x0C000000"

Also in which step are you getting the error? step 9 or 14?

Thank you,

Paula

Yahir, I just follow it the process discribed on wiki and they worked on my board. One thing to keep in mind is to use the right version on BIOS MCSDK along with the MCSDK Video. For example for the MCSDK-VIDEO version02_01_00_08 the required BIOS-MCSDK is 02_01_02_05.

Another detail to keep in mind is to use i2cConfig.gel from MCSDK Video package (prepared for correctly running the demos), which is located in the <MCSDK Video Install Dir>\demos\utils\gel instead of the one provided on BIOS MCSDK (mcsdk_2_00_xx_xx\tools\boot_loader\ibl\src\make\bin )

Please let me know if you have any issue loading running the .out or the gel files in CCS. I can guide you with the steps

Latest MCSDK video and MCSDK bios link below (in case you require them):

Hello Paula,

I just found what I was doing wrong. I was using the wrong Gel files

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/BIOS_MCSDK_2.0_User_Guide#IBL

on this link step 3 it says to load the corresponding gel file. I thought I had to use the i2cConfig.gel file but it was not the right gel file I had to use the evmc66786.gel on the bios MCSDK.

Thanks for your help,

I have a MCSDK 2.0.6 so I was using the address 0x80000000.
