LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1: SNVS skip in backdoor bootloader mode

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1

Tool/software:

Hi team,

In backdoor bootloader mode currently flashing whole flash region(352KB)

but as per requirement need to retain SNVS region 

start address: 0x48000, size:16KB

Need to flash configuration as well(last 88bytes)

How to skip SNVS and flash?

  • Hi Kousalya,

    You will need to use COMMAND_SECTOR_ERASE bootloader commands instead of COMMAND_BANK_ERASE.  From there, the correct usage of COMMAND_DOWNLOAD and COMMAND_SEND_DATA commands are necessary to avoid the SNVS area.  You are essentially leaving flash pages 36 and 37 untouched.  Since there are no holes in a binary file, you will either use a hex image or two separate binary images (one for the application, another for the CCFG) to accomplish this task.  Please see Chapter 10 of the TRM as well as SWRA466.

    Regards,
