Does anyone know about "idata" sections in TI's COFF file format? When CCS loads a COFF file, at the end it also loads sections that appear to be in addition to what's documented in the C6xxx COFF file format. I.e. not cinit, not .const, not .data, etc. but in addit

Hi all, I?m trying load a COFF file (.out) since PC using hpi, but an error in Code Composer Studio is showed. The error is "JTAG Communication error". To load the COFF file I?m using 'dsk6xldr' application provided by dsk 2.0 in 'C:\ti\examples\dsk6711\board_u

I want to build a program to run on my DSP that will securely download a .out file and then pass control to it. What I really want to do is to be able to download the coff file and after verifyling that I've got the segments correctly downloaded with CRCs burn it into my flash. Can anyone point me to resources on the net that would help me get started on this project? I've got my t...

Aditya,   Refer to to CCS Help on the hex conversion utility.  The following text came from there:   unconfigured memory error Description The COFF file contains a section whose load address falls outside the memory range defined in the ROMS directive.

All- Is there a CCS plug-in that allows a user-defined C program to access DSP memory via the same JTAG connection as CCS? The idea is that we can do something like this: -our program, operating as a CCS plug-in, reads the .out file (it can understand COFF format) and downloads code to memory -our program releases code to run (we're using C6472 booting in HPI mode) ...

Dear all, I am using the TI EVM board with a C6201 DSP under Linux. For a student research project I am programming a COFF loader for this board. Communicating with the hardware is done by directly accessing the Base Address Registers of the PCI interface, where code can be loaded via HPI. This works fine except for the SBSRAM. When I write some words to consecutive addresses in this addr...

Hello all, I am writing the Web Server on TI DM642 platform. The one web page in this server ll take the .bin file of the application and ll burn it into the Flash. The .bin file is formed from .out file of application using "Out2Bin" utility from our board vendor. Pls let me know if there is any format of binary file formed from ascii-hex file? and DO i need to parse this .bin file for addres...

Please share your views on this version if anybody is on this... especially for C6713 users point of view. Of corce its compiler is more efficient than v3.1 compiler as i tried with COFF file...

Hi: I'm writing a linux driver for C64(board dm642),my job is to load target's program int to C64 from pci bus and start it. First, I convert .out file(coff format) to hex file by hex6x. Then, I convert the hex file to bin file by hexbin. At last, I load this bin file to IRAM of c64. BUT, When I look the memory of c64 by jtag,I find the program's offset is wrong.For example,the _c...

Dear all. We have a DM642 based card, and we build an aplication and then we convert coff file to ascii hex to program flash. But the hex file it's greater than 512 KB. We need to select on boot.asm external address to cover range greater than 512KB of the flash. We have a CPLD that has a register ,located at 0xA000081,that manages external address like A19 to A24. What modifications i ha...

I know that similar topics have been asked about this in the recent past, but I was not able to find the information I wanted, either in the message thread or with web searching and searching the TI site directly. My current process for getting code updates into my flash is to compile it to a .out file with code composer studio, then use a program called DHex6x.exe to convert the .out f...

Is there a particular file format that is normally used for program files written to flash to boot a DSP? I'm assuming that a COFF file isn't simply converted to an Intel HEX format and transferred, but that some relocation points are taken care of and code is moved around. Does it vary by who builds the platform? I've written a couple of programs that can combine multiple Intel hex...

Hi, I just would like to know if I can fit my program into the DSK6713 Flash, which is 512KB maximum in size. I am now simulating the program using CCS. Compilation is done in debug mode and no optimization is used. 1. The COFF .out file resulting from simulation is 510KB. I know it is not an executable one. It has debug stub along with others that may not be in the execuatable file. Can any...
