Flashing the UBL to NOR flash without RBL UART boot

babs76

I have a custom board with the DM6467. I am also running ccsv4. I've checked out the board and DDR2 and NOR flash working properly. Since our board is configured for EMIFA NOR boot (resistors hardwired), how can I flash the UBL to the NOR easily from ccsv4 or other means? I don't have the RBL UART boot configuration easily available to me without re-soldering some resistors to change the configuration.

I have compiled the UBL and converted to .bin using hex470.exe and ascii2bin.exe...

NOR flasher has a CCS based project. This can be used as an alternative to UART (to flash the NOR as in your scenario).

Let us know if you face any issues using the same.

Gaurav,

Thanks for the information. Do you know where I can get the code/project for the "NOR Flasher". This is the issue, I don't know where to get the code. I link would be great!

Thanks,

Brent

Brent,

The dvflash utils are available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvflashutils/files/

DM646x NOR flasher (DM646x_FlashAndBootUtils_1_50\DM646x\CCS\NORWriter) is unsupported and has not been tested, so it might not work. You can use DM644x flasher as a reference and a starting point for DM646x NOR flasher.

Thanks,
Gaurav
