Not able to write NOR Flash on custom board

Hi Vamshi,

Have you using same NOR flash chip on your custom board? EVM have N25Q128A21BSF40F NOR chip.

Please try to debug the norwriter_evmc6678l code via CCS and find out which function is failed.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have used same Nor flash(N25Q128A21BSF40F) on custom board.

nor writer is failing at platform_init() function.

Hi Vamshi,

Have you got "Platform init failed!" error message in debug window. If you using gel file for initialize the DSP means Platform_init() is not mandatory, uncommand the platform init code and test it. I have tested this way in EVM, it is working fine.

Please check your hardware connection setup, NOR flash is detected properly or not.

Thanks,

Plesae find the NOR writer debug log message;

Hi,

I have removed platform_init() as you told because it is already initialized by using gel file.Then the nor_writer is failed and the console view is:

[C66xx_0] NOR Writer Utility Version 01.00.00.03

file opened nor_writer_input.txt
file read nor_writer_input.txt

Failure in sector 0, at byte 59384, (at byte 0 in the data file) expected 0x00000014, read 0x000000ff

Actually i want to attach my gel file but i am not able to attach here(as i am not able to see any option for attaching a word doc to this reply) for further reference.

regards,
