LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1: Add OAD to Multi Role not booting up (Build no error)

Hi,

I have a few questions that will help us solve this issue more efficiently. Are you able to perform the OAD to update the simple_peirphyeral_oad_offchip project to multi_role? Were you able to successfully complete Task 1 and 2? (These steps include the process of getting the BIM on the LaunchPad). Can you specify the exact steps that you took in order to recreate this behavior?

Best Regards,

Jan

Hi, 

Yes! Other projects are running well! Here are my steps

Step 1
I built three project images, via CSS (bim_offchip.hex, simple_peripheral_oad_offchip.bin, project_zero.bin)
All project set Release & unsecure OAD setting

Step 2
I flashing bim_offchip.hex & simple_peripheral_oad_offchip.bin  image via Uniflash to  LAUNCHXL board and then reboot the LAUNCHXL board, Now the LAUNCHXL board start advertising & Uart show some message.

Step 3
I’m using the Android SensorTag app from ti, search LAUNCHXL broad, at this time LAUNCHXL board show the name “SP OAD off-chip”, select TI OAD Service button and sending “project_zero.bin“ image, some time later successful change to project_zero image, Now the LAUNCHXL board start advertising & Uart show some message from project_zero image, I try to reboot LAUNCHXL board, also no problem.

Step 4
In the same way, I’m using the Android SensorTag app, change to  simple_peripheral_oad_offchip.bin, also successful change to new image

Step5
In the same way, I’m using the Android SensorTag app, change to Multi Role.bin image (follow Task 3 – Add OAD to Multi Role edit ), Successfully transmitted but nothing happened, BIM doesn't seem to select any images, LAUNCHXL board no any  advertising & respond. 

Thank you ! :-)

Hi Wing,

Thank you for the additional information. It is very helpful. Are you able to verify if you are running into this behavior when using a second LaunchPad with Btool instead of the SensorTag application? This will help us isolate the issue.

Hello Jan, 

I don’t have two development boards at the moment, but I found a problem in Oad Header, I have two images that can flash via Oad or UniFlash software normally, BIM also selected Newest image to start .

They have one thing in common in Oad Header > prgEntry, Both have same value prgEntry = 0x50 .

In the problem image the prgEntry = 0x8C, I have search about prgEntry in internet, it seems that my startup problem is here, Can I change the prgEntry value?

Or document has more about prgEntry instructions?

Thank you ! 

Wing

Hi Wing,

I have a quick question. Do you have security enabled in this project? the prgEntryAddr points to the .resetVec (the reset vectors defined in the .cmd file for the project). These reset vectors are configured in the .cfg file. Depending on whether or not security is enabled, then the value will be set appropriately.

Best Regards,

Jan

Hello Jan, 

In my settings all project images are set unsecurity, did I miss anything ?

ARM Linker → Advanced Options → Command File Preprocessing →
Pre-define preprocessor macro (without "SECURITY" defines)

Project → Properties → BUILD → ARM Compiler → Predefined Symbols
(without "SECURITY" defines)

MyProblemProject.cfg
/* Put reset vector after OAD metadata */
var compilerOpts = prog.build.target.ccOpts.prefix; // Get the target compiler options
var regex = /(?:\-\-define\=)(\w*)(?:\=*\w*\s)/g;
var compilerDefs = [];
while ((tmp = regex.exec(compilerOpts)) !== null) compilerDefs.push(tmp[1]); // Parse compiler symbols

if (compilerDefs.indexOf('SECURITY') > -1) { // Check for SECURITY compiler symbol
m3Hwi.resetVectorAddress = 0x90; // Image B Reset Vector Address
}
else {
m3Hwi.resetVectorAddress = 0x50; // Image A Reset Vector Address
}

update, i added cc13x2_cc26x2_app.cmd  from  simple_peripheral_oad_offchip

Build > ARM linker > File search path > Add path  ${COM_TI_SIMPLELINK_CC13X2_26X2_SDK_INSTALL_DIR}/examples/rtos/CC26X2R1_LAUNCHXL/ble5stack/simple_peripheral_oad_offchip/tirtos/ccs/cc13x2_cc26x2_app.cmd

Now prgEntry = 0x50, but Bim still not start a new image ...


Thank you ! 

Wing

Hello Jan, 

YES, I have been using BIM Release_unsecure[Active], But Keeps not working only in Multi Role add Oad images.

All Project images set Release[Active].

Thank you !

Hi Wing Wing,

I am facing same issue device is not booting up.i have followed  Task 3 – Add OAD to Multi Role ,in my case

even flashing with uniflash resulting in no advertisement,but working if i am debugging same code using CCS.

I have tried Debug unsecured,debug secured,release unsecured ,release secured,in all same result.

Can you help mw with your inputs how did you fix it ,and procedure to flash hex and bin files using uniflash/flash programmer2.

Regards,

Atul

Sorry for late reply, in my case i had two points change & get success !

1. Add "CMD FILE PATH" from TI simple_peripheral_oad_offchip project (don't copy file way, must add path)

2. All progrem flash ( bin / hex file) from UNIFLASH

All progrem include BIM & your project code.

Good Lucky !

Hi Wing Wing,

Thanks for your reply..!!

i did same and it was solved already few days back.
