    Hi Vishnu,

    Normally, the filesystem is mounted via NFS on DM6446.

    Do you mean anything else when you say " FLASH ENTIRE FILE SYSTEM TO THE BOARD"?

    Hi Vishnu,

    What are you using?

    Linux or Code Composer Studio?

    If using CCS, then you need an emulator.

    If using Linux, then you use NFS to mount the uboot, linux kernel and filesystem on DM6446 ,once mounted successfully, you will get a prompt and you can run the program on it. For this you need to give your program path on the prompt.

    Regards,

    Hi Sid

    I have mounted the application on the NFS and I had run it . In between I m using OpenSuse Linux 11.2. But I want to flash this application on the TI board memory rather than keeping it on the NFS . How can I do that ? Can you give me some idea on that ?

    Hi Sid

    If you consider the standalone demo,even without connecting the TI board to the PC ,the stand alone demo will work . Like that I need to make my application work on the Ti board , this is my real intention. I m new to this field . Please help me on that. Is there any particular document regarding this.?

    I m not using Code Composer Studio.

    Hi Vishnu,

    If you want to flash the application on TI board memory, then you need to program the FLASH with the application code and bootloader. The processor will then boot from flash and load the contents of the flash in its internal RAM (depending on the size of your application) and run your application.  TI has Flash programmer applications like SLH_DM646x.exe and SFH_DM646x.exe which are Serial Flash loading utilities. You will have to dig around for the corresponding commands to program your on-board flash with your application code.

    Regards,

    Sid

    Hi Sid

    Thanks for the reply

    But when  I m doing like will it erase the current standalone demo from the TI board flash. Is there anyway to reset if it happens like that?.

    Hi Vishnu,

    Yes, the current standalone demo will be erased.

    I dont remember exactly, but here are 2 Flash memories on DM6446 EVM with the corresponding flash memory selectable using Boot Options switch. These are the NOR Flash and NAND flash. Check the FLASH which contains the current standalone demo. Maybe you can use other Flash to run your code on startup.

    Or there might exist the corresponding Flash file of the standalone demo in the SDK examples/demo codes. You can reprogram the Flash with it and restore the board to its default status.

    Regards,

    Sid
