CCS/TDA3: Replace XDS560v2 STM USB Emulator with FT4232HL chip

Part Number: TDA3
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I want to flash TDA3x EVM using the FT4232HL chip as an onboard emulator instead of using XDS560v2 STM USB Emulator.

How can I flash binaries through CCS? Is there any support from TI for this FT4232HL chipset? or is there any other alternative way possible other than CCS for flashing binaries into TDA3xEVM using FT4232HL?

Regards,

Akshay

Akshay,

Unfortunately no. We don't support this device for flashing using our tools. Sorry.

Of course there is always a possibility of you designing a system to flash your board (by means of flashing an external Flash IC device) using this FTDI part, but that will be completely outside of TI tools.

Rafael

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Is there any documentation on commands which supports flashing and debugging through JTAG interface for TDA3x EVM?

Akshay,

Not for these devices. What we usually do is to load a small program to the device memory (either via SD card, serial port or via a TI JTAG connection) that prepares the external memory IC and either has a prompt (via serial port, for example) or directly loads flashes the code to the device.

If you are interested, check how Uniflash performs this process on some platforms:

Hope this helps,
Rafael
