For that device, you can set the flash options to erase "Necessary Sectors only", rather than erase "Entire Flash", using the -setOptions option.

For more information on doing this using command line Uniflash, please see:

I tried to use -setOptions option,but it failed.My command-line was"uniflash -ccxml TMS570LS3137.ccxml -setOptions FlashEraseSelection="Necessary sectors Only" -operation Erase -programBin load.hex 0x00180000".
The warning message was "the value is not valid for current property.[ERROR].could not set the value of option ".

Hi,

The exact string to set FlashEraseSelection to is "Necessary Sectors Only (for Program Load)". Can you try it again with this string?

Also, can you confirm that you are trying to load your .hex file as a binary file? I'm just asking because you can load supported .hex files directly in UniFlash using the -program command.

Thanks,
Ricky
