Hi all!
we have constructed our new bf532 Evaluation board with M29W160EB Flash memory
and MT48LC8M16A2 SDRAM and AT25F2048 serial memory ......I Just checked with the
USB emulator.....it's working properly......I just need a way to download
the generated Hex file into the flash so, that i can check the booting....
By using the emulator can we download the hex file into flash.....??
Is the Flash programmer in the visualDSP directory can be used for
downloading....?
Thank u

It's possible to use the ADI emulator to program your flash. You will
probably need to write two custom drivers.
OR you might consider our new dspFlash Blackfin & Flash Programmer. It's
designed to program most serial and parallel flash for all third
generation SHARC DSPs and Blackfins. You don't need VDSP or an ICE. It's
just being released now.
You can find out more on our website:

Hi,
The wide flash part you are using is similar to the M29W320 part used on the
BF537 EZKIT. You may be able to use that Flash Programmer directly.
However, you do have the source code available for it and only a minor
modification would be required (you may only need to edit the functions that
convert between the address and a sector).
Best regards,

I thought this place like other developers network is a place to get help
but a question posted eons ago did not receive attention. Any reason why
that is the case?

Could be a couple of reasons: nobody felt like they had the expertise on a
particular chip combination, the people who did know were on a vacation
the week the question appeared, there's a different group here now then
were here then, etc, etc.
Best thing to do is ask again, there are a lot more people reading this
every week and eventually you may find a person who has figured it out.
You will also figure it out eventually anyway, and be able to help the
next person who has a similar question. If you are the first person to do
something, you kind of have to figure it out the hard way!!
Patience, persistence, truth,

The flash utility in VDSP supports EZ-Kit implementations. It takes a
lot more time than you might think to cover the thousands of
combinations possible with different DSPs and target flash. ADI gives
you information to help you modify one of theirs for your situation but
it may not be as easy as you think.
We have been writing drivers for this purpose for many many months now.
There are subtle differences between most of the devices that make this
more difficult. I'm sure Mike encountered some of these issues when he
designed the BeastRider.
Of course, an emulator is fine for programing in a development
environment. We have done this type of programming for many years.
It's not a good solution for production since VDSP & ICE are expensive.
Furthermore, you are going to wear out the JTAG cable on the emulator.
The ICE starts at $1200.

I don't think you can write a special driver for the cost of our programmer.
