OMAP-L137:problems with booting spiflash

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6747, OMAP-L137

 

Hi, All

 

I have equipment OMAP-L137EVM (ARM9_0 + TMS320C6747) with software support Code Composer Studio v3.3
I have some technical problems with it.

 

I want to realise booting with the aid of memory SPI0_FLASH. The purpose is to load a software into SPI0_FLASH memory and automatically booting from SPI0-FLASH to the microprocessor shall occure at every switching OMAP-L137EVM on. I realise work with the memory SPI0_FLASH according to instructions acquired from sites wiki.davincidsp.com.

 

Proceeding according to the article TI Flash and boot utilities is following:

I realise this booting with the aid of connection between port COM4 on the host PC and port RS232 on OMAP-L137EVM. This connection is realised according by rate

 

2----------------3

3----------------2

4----------------6

5----------------5

6----------------4

7----------------8

8----------------7

 

Pins 1 and 9 were disconnected.

 

Next I convert .out file into .bin file by the help of AIS generator (see SPRAB04)

But I don´t know, if it is possible to realise convertion from .out file to file with extension .ais.

Next I want to erase content of SPI0_FLASH memory by the help of command

C:\flasher>sfh_OMAP-L137.exe –spierase –p COM4 –baud 128000

And next I want to load a .bin file into SPI0_FLASH memory by the help of command

C:\flasher>sfh_OMAP-L137.exe –spiflash_noubl <.bin>

 

But the host PC refuses to communicate with OMAP-L137 EVM and says the message “parameter is not correct”. This failure occurred already at the “spierase” command, although   I had made sure, that port COM4 in host computer operates and although I had set baude rate 128000 on my host PC. I would like to ask, if you know some details about these parameters:

 

-p <COM PORT NAME>  : Allows specifying com port other than default 'COM1' or '/dev/ttyS0'.
  -h                  : Show help text.
  -v                  : See verbose output from OMAP-L137.
  -baud <BAUD RATE>   : Allows specifying baud rate other than default (230400)
  -UBLStartAddr       : Changes entry point of ARM UBL (default 0x0100)
  -APPStartAddr       : Changes entry point of application (default 0xC1080000)
  -APPLoadAddr        : Changes load address of application (default 0xC1080000)

 

I also wanted to proceed according to the article Flashing the C6747 EVM, but:

Following files are missing to realise this proceeding:

C674x_dsp_setupwin32_2_00_00_07.exe.

spiflash_writer_dsp.pjt.

Please write me, where can I find it or send it to me, if you have it.

 

Yours sincerely
