TMS320F28379D: Two issue 1) Error in upload HEX file in C2Prog SECTOR VIOLATION 2) Load Program Error via CCS

Hello,

Zaid Sifat said:

I'm facing  Sector violation (0x0 len=0x10) error  while I'm uploading hex file using C2Prog

I can't comment much on this error as I am not very familiar with c2prog. I will defer to the device experts on this one.

Zaid Sifat said:

When I'm using CCS for upload the code using emulator the Load program error is shown and few other error for this I attached screenshot.

There are a lot of errors here. The one most of note is the one about flash not being available for this device. Are you using some custom F28379D board? What is the exact device being used? Provide the full name (ex: TMS320F28379DZWTT).

Yes it is custom board and full name is  TMS320F28379DTPT

What is the CCS version being used?

I tried with both 1)6.2.5    2)22.6.0.LTS

1693890725550.pdf This is specification of microcontroller board  having serial number given in manual 220221091/220221092

None of these are valid CCS verisons. #2 is definitely a compiler version. 

What is the actual CCS IDE version?

  Code Composer Studio IDE C2000 Components 12.4.0.202306011800 com.ti.ccstudio.c2000.feature.group Texas Instruments

Sorry these two are the compiler version which i used

please provide me solution I'll be very thankful to you

This issue sounds similar to the one reported in the thread below:

https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/c2000-microcontrollers-group/c2000/f/c2000-microcontrollers-forum/998835/launchxl-f28379d-errors

You may want to try the suggestions by Vamsi in the thread.

I will also bring this thread to the attention of the C2000 experts who can help further.

Thanks

Hi Zaid,

1) Regarding Sector Violation error:  Can you check your linker command file to ensure that all the initialized sections are mapped to valid flash address space?

2) Regarding CCS Load Program Error:  Are you able to load to RAM if not to flash?  Please confirm so that we can analyze further.

Thanks and regards,

Vamsi

Hello Vamsi

1) I'm not good in backend coding I attached link for  you my entire CCS project folder files including linker file for your reference, Github_link can you please check in this link, weather the linker file mapping is correct or not? or else give me suggestion how to check correct mapping

2)Yes, I tried also in RAM but still is there error.

for your reference I want to tell you the code provided in GitHub link is verified with my TI28379D launchpad  and I'm able to executed code properly ,it working fine

Hi Zaid,

I reviewed your linker file - it is ok.

If you are not able to load to RAM, then it might be a board issue.

Thanks and regards,

Vamsi

Hi Zaid,

Could send the snipshot of your setup how the JTAG is connected to your main board?

Secondly, is there any switch between JTAG and MCU on the board?

Thanks & Regards,

Uttam

Hi Vamsi,

Thanks for review my linker file, Can you please check my RAM linker file. I uploaded this time in the Github_link (file named as 2837x_RAM_lnk_cpu1.cmd) But issue is that the  vender is provided me a LED Blinky hex file  when I upload using C2Prog it is uploaded properly, so I think MCU Board is fine

JTAG_setup_.pdf Hi uttam, PFA of setup snapshot. 

for your reference I attached Pdf  manual for OLIMEX Emulatoremulator TMS320-XDS100_V3_INS.pdf

connection as follows Laptop USB port →USB_Isolator (Wrapped in Black color)  →OLIMEX XDS100V3 Emulator(RED color) →MCU Board(Green Color).

No switch is present between JTAG&MCU Board.

by following this connection as mentioned above I uploaded the LED Blinky Hex file provided me by vender from where I buy this MCU board. I also tried to ask they said please contact to TI support.

ok,Thanks

I'm still waiting for your response. Please tell me any further information is required from my side

Hello Ki,

I tried this also but no result is obtained.

Thanks& Regards

Hi Zaid, 

Looks good to me and as you mentioned LED blinky was working fine.

If you have some LEDs on main board, could you modify the code and run it over RAM to see if it's a board or software issue?

Thanks & Regards,

Uttam

Hi Zaid,

following up to see, if your issue got resolved or not?

Thanks

Hi Uttam,

I have only HEX file which provided by vender, I'm unable to edit that HEX file. Do you have any method by which we can convert it into ccs .c file?

Hi Uttam,

In this board no other LED is present.

Zaid, 

Since you only have an executable you cannot make any changes to the project and rebuild. without the project, HEX file editing is not possible.

Try to run one of the C2000ware examples to validate and can test further case. 

Thanks 

Uttam

Hi,

got your point.

Hi Uttam,

is there any issue of Memory mapping.?

CAN you please tell me these two boards have different memory mapping

TMS320F28379DZWTT and TMS320F28379DPTPT?

Hello,

Please resolve my issue/

I will be very thankful to you 

Please have a look

Zaid, 

379D has the same memory mapping as per Datasheet. the only difference between the devices is the package QFP (DPTPT) and BGA(379DZWTT). 

Is there a specific concern here? To be more sure let me route this query to memory experts. 

Thanks 

Uttam

Hello Zaid,

The memory expert is currently out-of-office, please give them until January 8th to respond.

Hi Zaid,

Do you have any update on this?

Can I close this post?

Thanks and regards,
Vamsi
