CCS/TDA4VMXEVM: uniflash flash emmc by uart for tda4vm

Part Number: TDA4VMXEVM

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

we have download the uniFlash 6.1, we want to flash the images into tda4vm. 

Could you tell us how to connect the tda4vm with host? how to set the SW8\SW9\SW3?

Could you provide us the uniflash user guide  for tda4vm ? we don't know how to configure it?

Thanks,

cuiqin

  • Hi Karan,

    1. I use the tool uniflash meeting the flowing error, the first step uart_j721e_evm_flash_programmer_release.tiimage is ok, then i flash the tiboot3 failure. Could you give some help?

  • Hi Cuiqin,

    Is this TI TVM or a custom board? Also, can you please tell me what is your target use case - do you want to run Linux or RTOS application?

    Regards,

    Karan

  • Hi Karan,

       Thank you for your reply.

        The first question and the error log above is tested on TI TVM. we want to run Linux application.

    Regards,

    cuiqin

  • Hi Karan,

    Also i try RTOS application like below, meeting the similar failure:

    root@ubuntu:/home/zhaocq/ti/uniflash_6.1.0# ./processors/ProcessorSDKSerialFlash -c /dev/ttyUSB1 -f ./processors/FlashWriter/j721e_evm/uart_j721e_evm_flash_programmer_release.tiimage -i 0
