TIDA-020047: Flashing AM273x cascade unit test R5f binary using uart_uniflash script

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH

Hi,

I am trying to use the cascade unit test application (mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_04_01_02\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_04_01_02\ti\utils\test\cascade\am273x) to test our hardware using uart bootloader script which load directly the image and execute it without flashing it (because we have an issue with flashing my board  ticket).

Is it possible to use the R5f binary .xer5f with the uart bootloader script to run the application? If not how could we proceed ?

Thanks.

    Hi Amine,

    if you want to run the cascade unit test, the usual process is to build the test using the included makefile and flashing the resulting appimage file on to the board and running it by following the flashing procedures in the SDK user guide . 

    I am not familiar with the uart bootlader or if it can be used with .xer5f files to bypass flashing. Let me discuss this with my team and get back to you

    Hi Bhuiyan,

    After building the cascade test with makefile, only .xerf5 image is generated there's no multicore image .appimage as an output file.

    the .xerf5 couldn't be used neither wth uart_uniflash nor uart_bootloader scripts.

    Could you please check if there's a way to generate the muticoreimage for cascade test ?

    Thanks.

    Hi Amine, 

    Can you try replacing the makefile in mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_04_01_02\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_04_01_02\ti\utils\test\cascade folder with the makefile attached(rename it to makefile instead of 0676.makefile  or whatever it may download as)  and replacing mssTest.mak in \mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_04_01_02\mmwave_mcuplus_sdk_04_04_01_02\ti\utils\test\cascade\am273x with the attached mssTest.mak. This should allow you to build the appimage 

    Best,

    Hi Buhiyan,

    Thanks.

    The appimage is generated and we are able to load and run the application with uart_bootloader.

    Best regards.
