LPSTK-CC1352R: Uniflash & jlink issues

Jo Gelie

Part Number: LPSTK-CC1352R
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, SEGGER, CC1352R

Setup:

SDK: simplelink_cc13x2_26x2_sdk_5_10_00_48
Compiler: CCS Compiler
Uniflash: 6.3.0.3193
Programmer: TI CC1352R LAUNCHXL and Segger
Devices: Two CC1352R LPSTK revision E
Bootlaoder: bim_offchip_CC1352R1_LAUNCHXL_nortos_ccs
Application: simple_peripheral_oad_offchip_CC13X2R1_LAUNCHXL_tirtos_ccs

Hi Experts,

I am facing some issues while flashing binary with both Uniflash and Jlink.

Without any modification, I built bim_offchip bootloader and simple_peripheral_oad_offchip examples.

Test 1:
With Uniflash, if I sequentially flash the bootloader (*.hex) and then the simple_peripheral_oad_offchip (*.out).
[Works as intended] After the program load, the device reboots by itself, and launches the simple_peripheral_oad_offchip firmware without any manual action.

Test 4:
Since Jlink does not support the *.out format, I flash the device with both the bootloader (*.hex) and then the simple_peripheral_oad_offchip (*.hex).
[Does not work as intended] The device boots the recovery image "Multi-Sensor".

Questions:

Is there any reason explaining why downloading both binaries (bootloader.hex + firmware.out cf Test 3) does not work?
What needs to be changed for successfully flashing the *.hex using Uniflash and Jlink?

Thanks,

Hello,

For Test #2, do you get the same result when flashing with CCS instead of UniFlash?

Thanks

Hi Ki,

Same issue with CCS:

Test #5: From CCS

I flash bim_offchip_CC1352R1_LAUNCHXL_nortos_ccs.hex
I flash simple_peripheral_oad_offchip_CC13X2R1_LAUNCHXL_tirtos_ccs.hex

Nothing happens, after 2 power cycles, the device boots on the recovery image MultiSensor.

Test #6: From CCS

I flash bim_offchip_CC1352R1_LAUNCHXL_nortos_ccs.hex
I flash simple_peripheral_oad_offchip_CC13X2R1_LAUNCHXL_tirtos_ccs.out

The device runs the simple_peripheral application as expected.

Note1) I did not modify anything from the CCS example.

Note 2) The exact same issue occurs if I disconnect the LPSTK for flashing the CC1352 LAUNCHXL instead. Everything works fine with the *.out without any power cycle. However while flashing simple_peripheral_oad_offchip_CC13X2R1_LAUNCHXL_tirtos_ccs.hex, after a power cycle, the device advertises 'ProjectZero'

Note 3) For debugging purposes, I tried to dump to memory after successfully loading the *.out. With Uniflash, I click on the Memory menu, then "Read memory"...Suddenly the device runs the recovery image...

Conclusion:

There is apparently an issue with the *.hex regardless of the programming tool (Uniflash, CCS, Jlink).
Also with Uniflash, we can sequentially flash the bim_offchip_CC1352R1_LAUNCHXL_nortos_ccs.hex and then the simple_peripheral_oad_offchip_CC13X2R1_LAUNCHXL_tirtos_ccs.out but not by using the 'combo' mode (selecting both firmware at once).

Questions:

Could you please quickly reproduce this issue?
If everything works for you, could you please send me back your simple_peripheral_oad_offchip_CC13X2R1_LAUNCHXL_tirtos_ccs.hex?

Sincerely,

I can reproduce this issue. I feel you are correct - it is not an issue with the programming tools or debug probe but with the generated hex file. I will need to bring this thread to the attention of the device experts so that they can analyze further. Thank you for the excellent details you have provided regarding this issue.

Hi Jo,

Can you go through the steps in the OAD Target Setup exactly and test? (E.g. use bim.hex and application .bin file.)

Hi Marie,

Thanks for your help and missing information!

Here my observation:

Binary	Result
simple_peripheral_oad_offchip_CC13X2R1_LAUNCHXL_tirtos_ccs.out	[OK]
simple_peripheral_oad_offchip_CC13X2R1_LAUNCHXL_tirtos_ccs_oad.bin	[OK]
simple_peripheral_oad_offchip_CC13X2R1_LAUNCHXL_tirtos_ccs.hex	[ERROR]

Is there any reason explaining why the *.out works and not the *.hex?

Thanks

Hi Jo,

For the hex file, the oad image header is missing. When you power the device, it starts by running the BIM image. BIM then checks the oad image header of all present images, and boots into the newest one with valid crc etc. So, for the hex file, since the header is missing, BIM will never boot into this image.

You can read a more detailed description here:

Hi Marie H,

My question is more why the *.out contains the OAD image header but not the *.hex:

/* simple_peripheral_oad_offchip.out sections */

Section Headers:
  [Nr] Name              Type            Address  Off    Size   ES Flg Lk Inf Al
  [ 0]                   NULL            00000000 000000 000000 00      0   0  0
...
  [ 9] .image_header     PROGBITS        00000000 000038 00008d 00   A  0   0  1
  [10] .resetVecs        NOBITS          00000090 01e770 000000 00   A  0   0  1

Anyway, thanks a lot for your information.

Hi Jo,

The hex file contains only the application.

The OAD image header is added by OAD image tool. I would recommend you to use the .bin file which only contains the actual code, no meta information.
