Adapting VDSP++ Flash Programmer

Started by lofipioneer November 3, 2003
Hi all,

I'm using VDSP++ 2.0 and have played around with the Flash
Programmer that comes bundled with the EZ-Kit SHARC DSP development
board. My understanding of how the flash programming works is that
the Flash Programmer plug-in cooperates/communicates with a .dxe
executable loaded into the DSP.

Anyway, so I've got this fabricated board with another SHARC DSP
that I can program easily with VDSP++; however, we are using a type
of flash memory on this board that is by the same manufacturer as
the one on the EZ-Kit (STMicroelectronics), but it is much bigger.

Is there any way to adapt the Flash Programmer that comes with the
EZ-Kit bundle to work with this slightly different flash memory?
I've tried just going ahead and using the Flash Programmer to load
the original .dxe executable into the processor, but it doesn't seem
to flash the code correctly.

Thanks.




hi
u need to generate the loader file .. the flash driver cannot take
dxe(executable) file to down load to target

Yes, it is indeed possible check
TAR17219 Flash Programmer API - Version 1_0.doc
on ftp:\\ftp.analog.com\pub\tools\patches

It will tell you what to modify in the source code for the original
programmer DXE.

If this doesn't help you let me know I might be able to help
