We ran into a similar problem with the DSP56F803. When programming with Codewarrior, it takes about 5 minutes to completely program the code flash. Our solution was to use Codewarrior to download only the boot flash. The boot flash then starts up and grabs the program flash image from an external serial flash chip over the SPI. We then end up with our code in both the boot flash and the program flash. The programming of the boot flash from Codewarrior takes about 20secs. Programming the program flash over the SPI takes about 5 secs. So, the result is a big throughput increase in production. It wasn't clear from the original message whether this third party device is any faster at programming the flash than Codewarrior over the Motorola parallel interface. But, if it's the same speed (as Motorola) for the parallel version, a 4 times increase for the USB version is not very impressive. -----Original Message----- From: [mailto:] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 12:46 PM To: Subject: [motoroladsp] Digest Number 53 _____________________________________ Note: If you do a simple "reply" with your email client, only the author of this message will receive your answer.

RE: Re: DSP5680x: Programming Flash without Codewarrier From: "Leonard Elevich" < ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 1 Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2002 10:02:02 -0700 From: "Leonard Elevich" <> Subject: RE: Re: DSP5680x: Programming Flash without Codewarrier FYI on a new product for production flash programming from our third party Domain Technologies. Thanks. To program 56F8xx flash with cBoxView (console app), no debugger supported: PP-JTAG - $800 To program and/or debug with cBoxView, BoxView or CodeWarrior SB-USB-LE - $2600 PP-JTAG is our version of the printer port interface found on Motorola EVM's but has a little bit different pin usage, and has built-in serial number chip. You can find some information at: http://www.domaintec.com/ppjtag.html The SB-USB is 4 times faster, and is supported with either BoxView or CodeWarrior debuggers, but for production programming can be used also with the console application, in the same way as PP-JTAG http://www.domaintec.com/SBusb.html We also have SB-56K - RS-232 based emulator (same price as SB-USB). I did not measure flash programming, but it will be a little slower then SB-USB (still faster then PP-JTAG). -----Original Message----- From: MW Ron [mailto:] Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 10:56 AM To: Christian Brauchli; Subject: [motoroladsp] Re: DSP5680x: Programming Flash without Codewarrier Christian, Unfortunately, I do not know of anyone who has developed such a download program. If you are not interested in using a serial bootloader though, I'm not sure of how many easy options are left that already exist that don't require CodeWarrior. You might be interested to take a look at Application Note 1926/D which is entitled "Production Flash Programming" that comes packaged on the SDK or you can find it at: http://e-www.motorola.com/webapp/sps/library/docu_lib.jsp Be sure to select "Digital Signal Processors", "16-bit data path", "DSP56800", and "Application Note" when doing the documentation search. You can leave the "Select a Product" pulldown menu blank. This application note might have some helpful information for you when thinking about what you would like to do.
