[FAQ] TDA4VM: Segmentation fault while flashing using UNIFLASH

Part Number: TDA4VM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

I am flashing to OSPI using uniflash and below are my commands:

karan@karan:~/Desktop$ sudo ./dslite.sh --mode processors -c /dev/ttyUSB1 -f uart_j721e_evm_flash_programmer_release.tiimage -i 0
./dslite.sh: line 64: cd: /home/karan/Desktop/processors/: No such file or directory
Executing the following command:
> ./ProcessorSDKSerialFlash -c /dev/ttyUSB1 -f uart_j721e_evm_flash_programmer_release.tiimage -i 0

For more details and examples, please refer to the UniFlash Quick Start guide.

I am getting a segmentation fault, am I missing something?

  • The issue is due to the fact that you are running the Uniflash scripts from the Uniflash root directory.

    uart_j721e_evm_flash_programmer_release.tiimage expects the system firmware to be sent after you have sent the flash writer. The path of the system firmware is relative to the Uniflash root directory. 

    Below are the successful logs when you run the scripts from the Uniflash root directory. You will see the print "Transferring System Firmware", this is where your setup errors out.
