CC2640R2F: CC2640R2F offchip oad oad_image_tool error

Part Number: CC2640R2F

Hi,

Since the memory size is not enough, I move from onchip to offchip oad.

I start from Simplelink_cc2640r2_sdk_4_10_00_10  "Simple_peripheral_oad_offchip" example.

IAR ver. 8.40.2 is used. It generates "sp_oad_offchip_cc2640r2lp_app_FlashROM.hex" , "sp_oad_offchip_cc2640r2lp_bim_FlashOnly.hex"

and sp_oad_offchip_cc2640r2lp_stack_flashROM.hex".

I want to generate a file that can be downloaded from the Flash Programmer 2 to the launch pad to make it work and use the following command but found errors.

In order to make the command short, I rename the above files and put into a folder called "oad_file" in c drive.

C:\ti\simplelink_cc2640r2_sdk_4_10_00_10\tools\blestack\oad>oad_image_tool.exe c:\oad_file\bim.hex c:\oad_file\app.hex c:\oad_file\stack.hex -o c:\oad_file\test.hex -i production -t offchip
usage: oad_image_tool [-h] [-v] [-verbose] [-hex1 HEXPATH1] [-bdf BDFILEPATH]
[-hex2 [HEXPATH2]] [-k [KEYFILE]] -o OUTPUT
ProjType ProjDir BinaryType
oad_image_tool: error: argument BinaryType: invalid int value 'c:\\oad_file\\stack.hex'

I am not sure whether the command is correct or any other simple method can do it?

For onchip oad, I just using Flash programmer 2 to multiple download the bim, persistent app and stack. The application app .bin is oad through BTool.

Please help and thanks in advance,

Rin

    Hey Rin,

    If you start with the default project, it should invoke the oad_image_tool.exe automatically with the correct parameters.

    Are you wanting to make a single, combined file to flash to your devices for production? You may find the answer you're looking for in our Simplelink Academy Module for OAD, under Task 4 – Bonus: Creating a Production Image.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Ammar,

    Thanks for your reply. I use the latest Simplelink_cc2640r2_sdk_5_10_00_02

    default example simple_peripheral_oad_offchip. 3 files generated successfully from IAR.

    C:/ti/simplelink_cc2640r2_sdk_5_10_00_02/examples/rtos/CC2640R2_LAUNCHXL/blestack/simple_peripheral_oad_offchip/tirtos/iar/bim_offchip/FlashOnly/Exe/sp_oad_offchip_cc2640r2lp_bim_offchip_FlashOnly.hex

    I use Flash Programmer 2 download 3 files to launch pad as shown but it seems not booting (no LED flashing at the beginning).

    Also, no BLE advertising. I am not sure the method is correct.

    Thanks,

    Rin

    Hey Rin,

    You'll need to flash the _bin files to the launchpad. For more information, please see our User's Guide section on OAD, here.
