NOR boot on C6657

Hi Murad,
Please make sure that the pre-built binary works on the setup. Please find the pre-built nor images on MCSDK images directory.

Thank you.

Thank you Raja for your prompt response!
how do I make sure that the "pre-built binary works on the setup"?... and no images directory under MCSDK except for "MAD" directory...the EVM came pre-programmed with the HUA Demo and that worked fine, but when I used it to program the NOR, nothing happen when I re-power except (IBL: Booting from NOR" scrolling on the RS232 consol!

Same works fine on C6678 EVM

Regards,

Murad

Please find the MCSDK pre-built images under tools/program evm. Please refer below wiki for directory structure.

Hardware setup:

Please find the latest MCSDK 2.x download link below my signature.

Have you verified the out file generated is working by loading through CCS(no boot mode) using emulator?

I used CCS to load my .out file and worked fine...then I used CCS and UAD to program the "NOR" with the pre-built "nor.bin" from the Flash page and that worked OK.
When I used the same HUA/Flash page to program the NOR with the HUA .out, I got the following message:

"The file you are writing is larger than the flash size of 4194304"

Thank you Ganapathi,

I used the strip6x.exe to generate a .bin for the HUA demo and was able to program the nor and re-boot OK. When I tried the same thing with the image demo/Mad, the MAD output .bin file loaded ok but never boot ok...I even tried the pre-generated (C:\ti\mcsdk_2_01_02_06\demos\image_processing\utils\mad\evmc6657l\images\mcip-plbp-c6657-le.bin) for the image demo/mad and didn't work (please see attached)...

If you have a .bin for the image demo that work, please email it to me so I can try it

Hi,

I will try to reproduce your issue and get back to you.

Thanks,

Thank you Ganapathi,
Since single image (HUA) is working ok and I am able to program the NOR and boot ok, is it a IBL issue?...do I need to have a different IBL for MAD image?...I read "processors.wiki.ti.com/.../MAD_Utils_User_Guide" but no specific details on how to configure the IBL for MAD images!?

Hi,

I am not expert for MAD utility. I will check with my team and get back to you.

Thanks,

Thanks for your update.
