IWR6843AOP: Flashing 6843AOP with ARM compatible software

Part Number: IWR6843AOP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH,

Tool/software:

Hello everyone. I'm trying to load images in the flash memory of IWR6843AOP with ARM processor device. Is there an alternative to UniFlash? If I'm not mistaken UniFlash tools such as dslite are only builded for x86, x86-64 systems.

Thank you.

Sergi

    Hi Sergi, 

    You are correct about the uniflash supported architectures.

    We don't have a standalone tool for writing to flash which can run on an ARM processor. If this is what you want then you would need to develop this in accordance with the bootloader flow. You can find more information about the bootloader in this application note. 

    Alternatively, it may be easier for you to utilize our secondary bootloader (SBL) example. This allows you to send the updated binary image over UART via XMODEM transfer. This option may be easier to implement if it would work for you. You can find the relevant information in this related post. 

    Best Regards,

    Josh

    I'll check out the application note.

    By the way, I'm already using the SBL, but my goal is to flash the unit for the first time. The issue with field firmware updates is resolved.

    Thank you.
