Loading a .bin file with CCSv5

HI Rob,

how have you been trying?  Have you tried uniflash or the lm flash programmer?   You may  need to translate the bin to a hex or TI txt file first.

I would be happy to give you the instructions but first would like to understand what you are trying to do have attempted.

Best Regards,

Hi Lisa, I have a Tiva C Launch Pad with two TM4C123GH6PM micros on it. One is the ICDI Micro. We received an image of the ICDI micro to use on our own board that we are spinning up. (File name "stellaris_icdi.bin") I thought there was a way that CCS can directly load the binary file to the Micro's memory. Is that not correct? I have not tried uniflash or lm flash programmer. As I stated before, I am using a XDS100v2 to connect to the micro via JTAG. I appreciate any help Lisa. Thanks,

Rob

Hi Rob,

I am still not clear.  Are you trying to load an example?   Do you have your own code?  Are you trying to modify the interface?

The normal situations are :

1 - with your own or example code you can use ccs to load the .out generated at build.  CCS also generates a .bin 

2 - with a flash programer (LM Flash programmer or uniflash) you can load a .hex or .txt file directly to the mcu.  You first conver the .bin to .hex or .txt.  there is a utility with ccs to do this

So I am trying to understand clearly you wish the second option?

I believe the second option is what I am looking for. This is not my code. It was given to us by TI. It looks like I need to convert the .bin file I have to a .hex or .txt and then have Uniflash load it. Is there a tutorial on this process?

Hi Lisa, I wanted to let you know that I was able to upload the binary file via UniFlash. Thank you for your help.
