    Hi Kim,

    Never used UNIFLASH, let me transfer this over to the CCS team.

    In general, it looks like this is possible From the user guide, as long as you can identify the different (or 2) XDS200's from your computer, it looks like it could work.

    Best,

    -Cole

    Hi Cole:

    I read the document about "Flashing multiple devices with UniFlash".I have some questions need to check .

    1、when using CCS to Create target configuration containing all devices, does it need to connect the board which contains 2 pcs  PGA900.

    how configuration file identify which one is PGA900 1 ,which one is PGA900 2?

    3、according to the document , should create 2 .ccxml files , one for PGA900 1 , the other for PGA900 2？

    4、when using desktop version uniflash flashing ,if don't use command line interface, do need to choose first ccxml file to flash PGA900 1 ,  and then choose second ccxml file to flash PGA900 2?

    5、if using the command line interface, can  a command line UniFlash package contain verify function?

    6、how to create the script to run both commans at once.

    7、if uniflash can flash and verify more than 2 target at a time.  I flashed 2 PGA900 at a time  using the uniflash desktop with one XDS200. flashing is OK , but verify showed failed.

    Hope for your reply.

    thanks and best regards

    how configuration file identify which one is PGA900 1 ,which one is PGA900 2?

    You are creating separate target configuration files for each device on the scan chain (each PGA900 in your case) with the other device being set to bypass. Hence each target configuration would only have one PGA900 available for debug (the one that is not bypassed).

    Exactly

    Data verification can be specified via (-v)

    6、how to create the script to run both commans at once.

    You can use a batch shell script that calls dslite twice, one for each PGA900 (see the end of the ""Flashing multiple devices with UniFlash" article)

    You would not be flashing both at the same time. Each target configuration would apply for one PGA900. So you would be flashing one at a time.

    Thanks
