CCS/TMS320C5517: Again: how to burn program into flash on 5517?

Part Number: TMS320C5517

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I have this programmer.out file from

/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/791/3343.programmer.out

and it says that

To program the bootdemo in tests\bootdemo into flash:

1) Copy bootdemo.out from tests\bootdemo\Debug to this directory.

2) Run convert.bat to generate a bootable binary image using hex55.exe.

3) Load and run programmer.out from this directory. You will see a menu that
looks like this:

Choose the device...
1x - NAND Flash [CSx: 2,3,4,5]
2x - NOR Flash [CSx: 2,3,4,5]
4 - IIC EEPROM
5 - MMC
6 - SD
7x - SPI Serial Flash (24 bit address) [PinMap x: 1=MODE5,2=MODE6]
8 - MCSPI Serial Flash

Type 22 into the console and hit enter. The first "2 specifies NOR Flash.
The second "2" specifies chip select 2.

4) You will be prompted with the following text:

Operation to perform...
1<file> - Program device with <file>
2<file> - Read device data to output <file>

Type 1 and the full file path and then hit enter. For example use this:

1C:\ti\evm5517_v1\flash_programming\bootdemo.bin

If the demo is in C:\ti\evm5517_v1\flash_programming\bootdemo.bin

5) Disconnect from Code Composer Studio and power cycle the board.

I can make .out to .bin, but I don't understand the the 3rd item: Load and run programmer.out from this directory.

I use ccs6 and load it, but the "menu " didn't appear.

Or does oes it mean that I should load and run program.out in dos environment? But I am not able to do it, can anybody tell me how to do it? Thanks.

Hi user4626108,

I've forwarded this to the c55x software experts. Their feedback should be posted here.

user4626108,
The programmer.out is run through CCS and the menu should appear on the CCS console window. Are you using a GEL file to initialize the core prior to loading the programmer.out?

I assume you are looking at processors.wiki.ti.com/.../C5517_Boot-Image_Programmer

I load the programm.out in CCS6. In fact, I get into debug mode in my own program and load programm.out. In which, Nxdn is my project. I use to load the programm.out, As follows.

Then I didn't see anyting in console.

Or do I need to build up a new project to load programm.out?

When I use ccs, I didn't use any gel file while debugging. Does ccs6 need gel file at all? Do you mean when I want to programm.out, I need special gel file? How to write this gel file and use it?

And the board is not evm5517. It is my company that designed it. Can I use this programm.out on my board?

Please see here processors.wiki.ti.com/.../GSG:CCSv5.0_Adding_GEL_files_to_a_target_configuration for instructions on how to use the GEL. There is a GEL for C5517 located at C:\ti\ccsv6\ccs_base\emulation\boards\evm5517\gel
You can load this on the core to initialize.

Thanks .I will try it later.

First I must make sure whether this programm.out can be used on my board(not evm5517)?
