Ethernet boot

Sukanya Karunakaran

I tried ethernet boot example in MCDSK EVM6678 simple.eth was send usingpcpacketsend and the prog was working fine.But when I tried converting my prog .out file into .eth file using the .exe given along with it ,prog is not working.

hex6x.exe was making 4 files instead of one..

How can I solve this problem?

Hi,

Run "simple.bat" under "tools\boot_loader\examples\ethernet\simple\". This will build the simple.out and use hex6x.exe (delivered in CG tools package) to convert the .out to a boot table file, and then use the bconvert64x.exe/bootpacket.exe to convert the hex6x boot table file to the Ethernet boot format data file, simple.eth.

For more information please take a look at readme.txt file(C:\ti\mcsdk_2_01_02_06\tools\boot_loader\examples\ethernet\docs\readme.txt).

Thanks,

Hi,

I got the output right and register A1 was written with a new value. But my doubt is how to make another out file boot from ethernet. While converting out file to eth file I am getting issues like multiple files getting created. Suppose I get 4 .eth files for a single out file can i use pcsendpkt to send them in sequence?

Please let me know what is wrong with my procedure...
