Using a UART to a TMS320C6657 DSP

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6657

[1] We would like to use the UART boot mode on our processor card that uses the TMS320C6657 DSP. We have configured  our DSP to work in the Little Endian mode.


[2] According to the  TI support forum, the command  “   hex6x  -boot  -a  -e=_c_int00 -order=L  -memwidth=32  -romwidth=32  -o <file.hex>  -map <file.map>  <file.out>   ” will cause the program “hex6x” to generate the proper boot image that is in the required “boot table format”.


[3] However, the Keystone Architecture Bootloader User Guide (SPRUGY5C] states that the RBL assumes that all
images are in Big Endian mode. Does this mean that I should use the program “Bootconvert6x” to convert my Little Endian boot image to a Big Endian boot image before I can use a XMODEM program to send my boot image to the TMS320C6657 DSP?
Thank you,
