I have CCS v 3.3 installed. I want to compile the code of "DM6446 UART NAND & NOR Flasher (spraai4)" after some minor changes as our custom board NAND is not accesible. Using Cygwin I have issued the make command and I get the following error:

$ make
make -C ubl all
make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/DM6446 UART NAND & NOR Flasher (spraai4)/ubl'
make -C src FLASH=nand
make[2]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/DM6446 UART NAND & NOR Flasher (spraai4)/ubl/src'
arm_v5t_le-gcc -c -Os -Wall -I../include -DUBL_NAND dm644x.c -o dm644x_nand.o
make[2]: arm_v5t_le-gcc: Command not found

make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/DM6446 UART NAND & NOR Flasher (spraai4)/ubl'
make: *** [all] Error 2

From where can I get arm_v5t_le-gcc?

I have seen on net that DV Flasher 1.11 is also available. From where can I get the latest source and the compiler?

Regards.

This is the GCC compiler for the Montavista Linux toolchain and is not delivered with Code Composer Studio. With your DM6446 development environment, such as the DVSDK, etc., a version of Montavista is provided which includes the toolchain, kernel, etc.

Basically, we are working on a custom board and we have not purchased any software solution except CCS. Is there any other way to compile this source code?

That DVFlasher source code is quite old; you are better off getting the software from http://tiexpressdsp.com/index.php/Serial_Boot_and_Flash_Loading_Utility. I think this one is much easier to build as well.

Thanks Juan. I am trying to flash my NAND device from Micron (MT29F2G08AxD) which is 256 MB big block device. One page has been successfully written to the NAND through a custom code. But the flashing is not occuring. I get:

Is this NAND not supported? It's device ID is 0xAA.

I am trying to recompile the your suggested source using Cygwin but I get the errors:

So the good news is that your NAND device appears to be supported by DM6467 RBL (see http://focus.ti.com/lit/an/spraas0c/spraas0c.pdf ); the bad news is that if the serial utility is failing, it is likely this NAND device is not supported by the serial utility, which means you will need to modify the code to add support. FYI, I know of a few customers that have sucessfully done this (you may even find posts if you search); the main change they needed to take care of was CRC computation.

I am planning to add more "printf()" to see what is happening buy I get the error of "--abi=eabi" with timake when I issue make through Cygwin.

What is it's reason? I am using CCS 3.3.

I have the same problem on DM355, have you solved it?

Yes I installed the new code generation toolset that is available on the TI site. It does not complain about this parameter.
