CODECOMPOSER: CCS checksum output method

Hi Kamiya,

The UniFlash tool has the ability to show the checksum for the memory contents. Please give that a try and see if that works for your!

There is also the CCS On-chip flash tool that you can explore that has ability to calculate a checksum. https://software-dl.ti.com/C2000/docs/software_guide/c2000ware/flash.html.

You can generate a checksum on a hex file using any 3rd party tool available on the web (e.g. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/certutil).

The other would be to read the flash contents and generate a TI derived checksum using the above mentioned TI tools.

Regards,

Here's a post that talks about the command line technique to calculate the checksum.

Here's how the checksum is calculated using UniFlash: https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/c2000-microcontrollers-group/c2000/f/c2000-microcontrollers-forum/885566/tms320f28377s-uni-flash-tool-check-checksum

Once device is connected, click on the Memory Section and scroll down until you see the Checksum section and select calculate checksum.

Actually the option is in the Setting & Utilities tab. Below is a screenshot of where the feature is located.
