There apparently were problems with flash.  The configuration file is
usually included in the DSK CCS files......somewhere.  Flasjh was
replaced with flashburn.  Works muchhhhh better.

FAILED: dsk6x_open() usually means bad parallel port setup, there is a
utility to do this supplied with the DSK, OR like as you say it could be a
Win 2000 thing. Unfortunately I am using Win98.

Look in your C:\....\c6000\dsk\bin directory, run the Dsk6xtst.exe to verify
all is well with your DSk and Win2000
Good luck

As I found the configuration board file which is 
c:\\ti\\cc\\bin\\BrdDat\\dsk6x11.cfg

and I recompile the Flash.dsw , it works but now it gives me another
error which is
FAILED: dsk6x_open()

and as I had a look , this function is in dsk6x11hpi.dll but I'm not
sure if this dll works in Win2000 environment.

Thanks : Hamid

Hamid
Not sure about the -f option but here's what I use and it works just fine...
I think its asking for a target address in flash memory.

flash -pa -s0x90000000 post.hex

Hello everybody

I am using DSK c6711 and I'm trying to program the flash memory.
I started with the examples of TI.

I am using flash.exe from :

C:\ti\examples\dsk6711\board_util\flash\Host\Debug>flash post.hex

and it gives me following message:

TMS320C6211/6711 DSK Flash Programming Utility, Version 2.04, May 2001
Copyright (c) 2001 by Texas Instruments Incorporated. All rights reserved.

ERROR: Please specify a valid board configuration file via the -f option.

What is this configuration file ?

Thanks in advance : Hamid
