Hi everyone

I am working with tms320c5515 ezdsp usbstick board.I am using ccsv4.I wanted to load my application code on NOR flash that is available on this board.I have gone through the details about boot loader for this dsp.I have used that cslv3 programmer project to load my own code.But I am finding my rom is not getting erased.I have followed all the steps mentioned.Still its not working.help me with this.Below i have shown details about my console

Choose the device...
1x - NAND Flash [CSx: 2,3,4,5]
2x - NOR Flash [CSx: 2,3,4,5]
3 - SPI EEPROM (16 bit address)
4 - IIC EEPROM
5 - MMC
6 - SD
7x - SPI Serial Flash (24 bit address) [PinMap x: 1=MODE5,2=MODE6]
8 - MCSPI Serial Flash
22
Operation to perform...

  • Hi Arun,

    have you tried the nor_writer from Spectrum Digital?

    I tried that one to write to write  a program, where at the beginning it erases the memory first.

    you can find under the Demo section. everything you need is inside the zip folder.

  • Thanks to Vava for helping.

    Yes. Writing to NOR flash requires checking the device ID. C5515EVM and C5515 ezDSP use different kind of NOR flash. Refer to their schematic for details. What board are you using?

    Regards.
