Uniflash v4 CLI create image

Jan D

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Hi Team,

It looks that Uniflash v4 (4.2.0.1490) does not supports to create image from command line (CLI) as was at previous version 3.4.It seems that image can be created only from GUI. Is this correct?

Is this feature in roadmap for version 4? Or there is a alternate way? I am using CC3220 and from this reason I cannot use previous version.

Update: I found some information about CLI in SWRU469A at chapter 6, but it seems that this not functional.

Thank you

Hi,

Issue solved. Problem was that inside SWRU469A are described commands which are not supported by CLI actually (e.g. project new).

Hi Jan,

Are you using the most recent UniFlash version? In your command line, it looks like you're still using version 4.0.

Hi Sarah,

OK. now I see what was issue. I had installed version 4.2.0.1490. After manual installation of version 4.2.2.1692 is all OK.

But it seems that auto update mechanism of Uniflash is broken. It looks that somebody forgot to update file downloads.ti.com/.../update.xml

Both version of Uniflash (4.2.0.1490 and 4.2.2.1692) are downloading this file. And content of XML is:

installerInformation>
    <versionId>421490</versionId>
    <version>4.2.1490</version>
    <platformFileList>
        <platformFile>
            <filename>uniflash_sl.4.2.1490.exe</filename>
            <platform>windows</platform>
            <md5></md5>
        </platformFile>
        <platformFile>
            <filename>uniflash_sl.4.2.1490.run</filename>
            <platform>linux-x64</platform>
            <md5></md5>
        </platformFile>

        </platformFile>
    </platformFileList>
    <downloadLocationList>
        <downloadLocation>
            <url>downloads.ti.com/.../url>
        </downloadLocation>
    </downloadLocationList>
</installerInformation>
