CCS/TMS320C5545: FInal Boot Image for C5545 Booster Pack

Part Number: TMS320C5545

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I want to Final Boot  Image For C5545 Booster Pack From SPI Boot. not SD Card

Can i use ez5535 SPI Boot Sample Program  for this ?

any other thoughts pls share.

  • Senthil,

    We provide SD boot images for the booster pack for ease of use and good out of the box experience. If you wish to have those binaries booting from SPI flash then please refer to C55x bootloader application notes provided here on how to create SPI boot images and to burn the images to flash :

    http://www.ti.com/lit/an/sprabl7d/sprabl7d.pdf

    I am checking with our hardware experts to see if ezC5535 is compatible and uses the same SPI EEPROM to confrim if you can reuse those binaries and will post a response based on their input.

    Regards,

    Rahul 

  • Here is the response from our HW expert.  The flash utils from C5535 are compatible with C5545. Most boot examples will work, but there are a couple of incompatibilities. See below.  

    Boot generation is the compatible for both boards (hex55 params, copy to SD card or burn SPI flash - same pins)

     C5535 and C5545 compatibilities

                    * SPI flash - same pins, equivalent parts

                                    5545 Boost: MX25R1635FM1IL0, SPI_TX = LCD_D[1]/SPI_TX

                                    5535 eZdsp: W25X64VSFIG, SPI_TX = LCD_D[1]/SPI_TX

                    * Codec - same pins

                    * OLED - same pins (I2C)

                    * SD card - same pins SD0 (only one that can boot)

                    * UART - both go to FTDI for VCP: C5535 DIP switch dependency, C5545 jumper dependency

     

    C5535 and C5545 incompatibilities

                    * Switches are different: C5535 uses analog SAR inputs, C5545 uses GPIOs

                                    POST code for C5535 relies on SAR ADC inputs to advance to next test

                    * LEDs

                                    C5535 has 4 LEDs + 1 on XF pin

                                    C5545 has 2 LEDs, uses 2 same GPIOs for switches instead of LEDs
