Tool/software: Starterware

Hello.

The page processors.wiki.ti.com/.../AM335x_ICEv2_flash_erase - for erase SPI Flash.
It's very useful. Thank you.

Tell me, please, how can I read information from SPI Flash ICEv2?
With what utility or program and by what steps?

    Eduard,

    The flashing tools for AM335x ICE board are provided in Processor SDK RTOS under the directory path
    pdk_am335x_1_0_7\packages\ti\starterware\tools\flash_writer

    The tools are meant to read the boot image from your PC and then flash it to the SPI flash and then read back and verify the contents of the flash. So if you look at the verification step in the flash writer, you can see how the contents of the flash can be read back.

    The steps to run the flashwriter are provided in the wiki here:
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../AM437x

    If you want to frequently just perform reads, then I would recommend adding a read option to the switch statement implemented and adding the logic to read a sector on the flash and either dumping it to a file or copying it to a location in device memory.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,
    Rahul
