How to Run application code after flashing to NAND Flash?

Mitesh Hiran

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138, OMAPL138

Hi there, I am build the client example provided with the NSP 1_10_00_03 and it works fine but when I tried to flash the *.bin file the example does seem to run.

I have converted the *.out file to *.bin file using AISGEN Tool (AISgen for D800K008 BOotloader V1.9)

Command:

sfh_OMAP-L138.exe -targettype C6748_LCDK -flashtype NAND -p COM3 -flash_noubl C:\temp\evmc6747\exampleDesign\ccsv6Examples\omapl138_examples\ndk_evm6748_elf_client\Debug\ndk_evm6748_elf_client.bin

I have LCDK6748 board and I have changed the DIP switch to SW1 (DIP#1 OFF; #2 ON; #3 OFF; #4 ON)

Looks like the operation did complete, but how should I run the example design?

Thanks,

Mitesh

Please make sure that you have to changed the AIS settings for NAND flash with 16bit mode.
Have you tried to boot any GPIO code from LCDK board (NAND flash) ??
You will get any UART print from this NDK code , how do you know the IP address ?
You can add some GPIO stuff and make sure that the program is booting.

Hi Thanks for quick reply. I have changed the IP address to be static. Can you tell me what is the procedure to flash application design on a NAND flash and is there any changes to dip sw for it to work?

I will try ti run GPIO example as well.

Hi Mitesh,

After flashing successfully, Change the boot switches for NAND boot (1:4 = 0111 on C6748 LCDK) and power on or reset the LCDK board. You will Observe the starterware messages on the terminal

A step by step instruction is given here on how to flash and run the examples on C6748/OMAPL138. Kindly follow them and revert on which step you failed.

Hi Titus,
I am trying to build example GPIO from the C6748_StarterWare_1_20_03_03 / examples/ lcdk6748 and getting error

Hi Shankari, thanks for the info.

However, I am trying to flash example design on the LCDK6748 which has just the DSP core. How can I get the bootloader file *.ais ?

The map file generated for this design as following info:
ENTRY POINT SYMBOL: "_c_int00" address: c00e23e0

Thanks,
Mitesh

Hi Shankari,
The details about the boot loader in SPRAAT2F are completely different to what is pointed me to, why? Am I missing some thing?
I did as your link said, I converted boot.out from starter kit lcdk6748 bootloader to *.ais using aisgen and then created *.bin from the application.out using the out2rprc.

When I flashed and power cycled the board and when connected to the serial port, it says 'StarterWare C7848 Boot Loader Jumping to StarterWare Application...

But still I can't ping to the board!

Regards,
Mitesh

Dear,

When I flashed and power cycled the board and when connected to the serial port, it says 'StarterWare C7848 Boot Loader Jumping to StarterWare Application...

This sign seems to be the bootloader code is passed the control to the application, so can you put some LED toggle code to confirm that NDK example is booted well & good.
You also please make sure that you have enabled the EMAC peripheral (PSC1 5th module) while AIS conversion.

Hi Titus,

Thanks, Yes I will trty to load GPIO example design. I have imported the example buyild project and when I try to build ccs errors out stating :

The system cannot find the path specified.
makefile:154: recipe for target 'post-build' failed
A subdirectory or file ..\..\..\..\..\..\..\binary\c674x\cgt_ccs\c6748\lcdkC6748\gpio\Release already exists.
gmake[1]: [post-build] Error 1 (ignored)

Any idea how to give CCS write access?

Regards,

Mitesh

0 Titusrathinaraj Stalin over 10 years ago in reply to Mitesh Hiran

Import the following project and rebuild on CCS.
C:\ti\C6748_StarterWare_1_20_04_01\build\c674x\cgt_ccs\c6748\lcdkC6748\gpio

Can you please attach your screen shot of your problem?

You can ignore this error, its created a .out.
Now ,you can connect target and load the code.

0 Mitesh Hiran over 10 years ago in reply to Titusrathinaraj Stalin

Mastermind 6265 points

No, Titus, I have checked the time stamp on the *.out file is still 2012! It didn't build the out file..

0 Titusrathinaraj Stalin over 10 years ago in reply to Mitesh Hiran

TI__Guru** 116100 points

I hope its building fine.
You can also delete the debug and release folder of that project on CCS IDE and do rebuild the project.

0 Mitesh Hiran over 10 years ago in reply to Titusrathinaraj Stalin

Mastermind 6265 points

I did delete the Release folder and when I asked to rebuild it just recreated the Release folder! no out file.

0 Titusrathinaraj Stalin over 10 years ago in reply to Mitesh Hiran

TI__Guru** 116100 points

Have you modified the project settings or properties ?
I just import it and able to build with out any problem.
By default, its configured to "Debug" setting not "Release" that's why I suspect, you may have modified the project.

Hi Titus, Just switched the Build Configuration to Release to see if it makes any difference to the error. I have switched it back to Debug but it still complains post-build failed.

This error can be ignored, now you can see updated .out file in debug folder.

I made some changes to the write access to my user account and it seems to work now. Thanks for your support and yeah EMAC client example seems to load properly from flash.

0 Titusrathinaraj Stalin over 10 years ago in reply to Mitesh Hiran

TI__Guru** 116100 points

Then try to enable UART prints in NDK example then replace the regular print with UART print.
Here is the UART example from starterware and port this too into your NDK example code.
C:\ti\C6748_StarterWare_1_20_04_01\build\c674x\cgt_ccs\c6748\lcdkC6748\uart

Then you would get an idea where your code get hang and why we are not able to ping the static IP address.
Also please make sure that you setup the environment correctly for static IP configuration.

Thanks Titus, I will using UART print, as of now I am able to ping to the board and the EMAC client example is working as expected.

Sounds good.
Glad to hear that you able to solve the problem.
What is causing the problem ?

0 Mitesh Hiran over 10 years ago in reply to Titusrathinaraj Stalin

Hi Titus, everything is good as of now. I have moved on to EMIFA accessing both SDRAM and NAND FLASH memory. (Do you have the schematic and gerber files for the LCDK6748 rev A6?)

The actually problem with the client NDK example was that I was not enabling the EMAC, PLLs, etc in the nand flash *.bin file. (Which was done by the GEL file, before.)
Now I am using the AISgen tool to set up all the PLLS, EMAC, GPIO, etc and converted the application *.out design to *.bin file. And all seems to work ;)

Mitesh
