I can't update my internal FLASH memory through UART (OMAP-L138 LCDK)

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138, OMAPL138

I try to to flash my development board OMAP-L138 LCDK with my DSP project. I follow intructions from http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/OMAPL138_StarterWare_Booting_And_Flashing but I've got a failure:

>sfh_OMAP-L138.exe -flash_noubl boot.bin -targetType OMAPL138_LCDK -flashType NAND -p COM41

File boot.bin is not present.


Interfacing to the OMAP-L138 via UART failed.
Please reset or power-cycle the board and try again...

What is wrong?

  • Dear Tankist,


    Waiting for SFT on the OMAP-L138...
    File boot.bin is not present.

    >sfh_OMAP-L138.exe -flash_noubl boot.bin -targetType OMAPL138_LCDK -flashType NAND -p COM41

    This error is due to "boot.bin" file is not present in current location (where you mentioned in command)
    So, please put the "boot.bin" file in the following location and try.
    C:\ti\OMAP-L138_FlashAndBootUtils_2.40\OMAP-L138\GNU

    Else, mention the actual location where you have "boot.bin" file.
    Ex:
    If you have "boot.bin" file is in PC Desktop location then,
    >sfh_OMAP-L138.exe -flash_noubl C:\Users\Titus\Desktop\boot.bin -targetType OMAPL138_LCDK -flashType NAND -p COM41

    I hope this helps.
    Please let me know if any.
  • That was my stupid mistake, thank you!
