flashing c6713 dsk, hex6x problem

Hello,

I am in really on top of my head, and I need help. I have read wiki pages, document files but to no avail. I am trying to flash my program on the c6713 dsk, but I keep getting errors in translation, as below

=============================================================================================================================

My hex.cmd file is as shown below

================================================================================================================================

/*
** ======== initial_board_setup_hex.cmd ========
** hex6x command file
*/
initial_board_setup.out /* input COFF file */
-map initial_board_setup.map /* generate hex.map map file */
-a /* ASCII HEX format */
-image /* set image mode */
-zero /* reset address origin to 0 */
-memwidth 8 /* 8-bit wide ROM */
ROMS
{
FLASH: org = 0x90000000, len = 0x40000,romwidth = 8, files = {initial_board_setup.hex}
}
==================================================================================================================================

whereas the command file is

==================================================================================================================================

/* Include DSP/BIOS generated linker command file */
-l initial_board_setupcfg.cmd
/* Allocation of the custom code and data sections */
SECTIONS
{
    .mw_isrambuff:     > IRAM
}

==================================================================================================================================

Please, can anyone help me? To be truthful, I do not know what or how to code this, as I only followed examples and changed sections of the code as appropriate. If there is anyone willing, can I please send my whole project file to your email to take a look at it? The code works, I just need to flash it. Thanks

Desperate for help,

Nic

    Those who watch this forum are not experts on flashing memory.  We are familiar with the hex utility, which is one part of the flashing process.  I can tell you some of the errors you are making with the hex utility.  But for yet more detail on the entire process, please see this thread.

    You get messages like this ...

    Because your link command file contains this ...

    Nicholas Cheng said:
    ROMS
    {
    FLASH: org = 0x90000000, len = 0x40000,romwidth = 8, files = {initial_board_setup.hex}
    }

    The section vectors starts at address 0.  But, with that ROMS directive, you tell the hex utility to only convert sections in the address range 0x90000000 to 0x90040000.

    General documentation on the hex utility can be found in the C6000 Assembly Language Tools book.

    Thanks and regards,
