Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM335X
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3358, UNIFLASH

Hi!

I am using Sitara AM3358 in custom board and SDK RTOS am335x 5_03_00_07.

I want to flash bootloader and application images to NAND Flash (MT29F8G08ABACAH4-IT:C TR) through UART in custom board.

What is the procedure for this?Please elaborate.

Regards,

Gaurav

Gaurav,

Thanks for your post. Uniflash will be the right direction here:

You'll have to modify this to your custom board, specifically the NAND flashing, but the above documentation should help you get started.

Thanks.

Hi!

I have installed uniflash 6.1.0.2829 on windows 10. It is not showing sitara am335x processor in "choose your device" option to start the session.

I tried with ccxml file. I choose with existing project ccxml file then some error is coming after clicking on start button. Error "Failed to launch session from ccxml file: Cannot read property 'nodeValue' of undefined".

As per section 3.5.1.5 Programming the Flash Device of "http://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-rtos/esd/docs/latest/rtos/index_board.html#uniflash", I gave the command "C:\ti\uniflash_6.1.0>dslite.bat --mode

processors -c COM3 -f E:\Projects\2019-2020\Display Unit\Software\Development\NONOS_DU\NONOS_DU\Debug\NONOS_DU.bin -d 0 -o 0" but error "Parameter Missing! Invalid Input Paramaters" is coming. I

am attaching the screen shots, please have a look and suggest some solution.

Hi Gaurav,

Uniflash doesn't support NAND flash for AM335x devices. You would need to add the capability as mentioned above.

Please see this thread for further details: https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors/f/791/t/908131
