Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Hi

 

I want to program flash without to use debug active project. Is it possible like CCS v3.x On-Chip flash programmer?

I have CCS Version: 4.2.3.00004

 

Thanks

    Jeremy,

    If you launch the debugger vs debug active project, when you do a program load it will flash the .out.

    You can start a non-project debug session a couple of different ways.

    1) click the down arrow beside the bug icon and select launch TI debugger.  That will start a debug session for your default target configuration.

    2) Open the Target Configuration view.  Right click on a specific target configuration file and select "Launch selected configuration"

     

    Regards,

    John

    Hi

    I want to flash another .out like the programmer on CCS v3.x. I want to take an external .out CCS project to program flash. For example with CCS 3.x I can take only the .out of my CCS v4.x project and program flash with the On-chip program flash plug in but I can't take my CCS v3.x .out project and program my flash with CCS v4.x.

    How I can pass to CCS v4.x without to import CCS 3.3 project, but only use .out.

    Thanks

    Jeremy,

    You have lost me.  Why can't you launch the debugger and load your .out from CCSv3.3.  The Load Program function will flash the program.

    Hi

    We want to change from CCS 3 to CCS 4. So if I can't program flash independently with CCS 4, we have problems... But we  probably  don't  update to CCS 4.

    Thanks

    Jeremy,

    You can program the flash independently in v4 just like in 3.3.

    CCSv3.3:

    • Start CCS
    • Click on Connect to target.
    • Open the flash programmer, specify your .out

    CCSv4:

    • Start CCS
    • Launch a debug session, click on the down arrow beside the bug button and select Launch TI debugger.  
      • This is different from v3 as in v3 the debugger is started as soon as you start CCS.
    • Click on connect to target
    • Select Load program. specify your .out.  This will flash the device.

    You can also script flashing in v4 which you could not do in v3.3.

     

    I uploaded a little video here that shows what I am talking about.  The link won't be good for another hour.
