CCS: C5515 eZdsp - FLASHING PROGRAM

Paolo Martinetti
Expert 2730 points


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

i have developed my project with cc6 v6, and i'm able to run it correctly in debug mode on TMX320C5515 eZDSP V2 USB STICK demo board.

I need to know the correct procedure to download my firmware onto the board so that when I reset it (disconnect USB and reconnect) the board keeps executing it without launching debug version of my project in CCS6

Thanks In Advance

Paolo

    Paolo,

    There is a company called Software Design Solutions Inc who has a utility for programming external flash. They have a free trail of their flash burn product. I know they have support for some C55x boards.

    Using Flashburn would be an option but he C55x experts in the C5000 forum may have some other alternatives. Would your product use the same external flash chip that is on the eZDSP board? With flash burn if you were to use a different chip then you would need to use the porting kit to add support for the flash memory chip you are using.

    Hi, after search for some days,
    i found this link: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../C5515_Boot-Image_Programmer

    where is explained how to load a boot image into C5515 ezdsp board.
    "How to program a boot image onto C5515 eZdsp".

    My problem now seems to be very simple: I'm sorry, but in CCS6 i don't know ho to launch a .out file as explained, because i don't find the TARGET menu as explained. Could you help me?

    Excuse me if i'm annoying

    Ok, i reached the solution. I always post before resolving myself the problems in order to share some problems and solutions.

    This is the procedure used to flash NOR FLASH in C5515 ezdsp in order to make it standalone.

    1) Compile and generate file .out of your project in Release mode.
    2) from DOS command line:
    hex55 -boot -v5505 -serial8 -b ..\Release\<my project>.out -o <my project>.bin
    3) Create a new target configuration, say 'loader.ccxml'.
    4) run the configuration
    5) Reached the Debug perspective, connect the target
    6) Load the program 'programmer_C5515_eZdsp.out' by Run->Load->Load Program. select the absolute path of 'programmer_C5515_eZdsp.out'
    7) Debug it
    8) insert in the console prompt the <my project>.bin absolute path
    9) wait for the end of the programming

    To verify the correct programming reset C5515 ezDsp by disconnecting and reconnecting it from the USB cable and verify your project is up and running
