Creating EEPROM file with hex500

Started by fjh001 November 20, 2003
Hello all,

I'm trying to boot a 5402 from eeprom. The file I generate for EEPROM
burning with hex500 tool does not start with 0x08 0xaa as needed for
serial booting. I've tried several options with hex500, but not found
the way (also I'm very new to this DSP and its tools).

Please could anybody point me on the right direction?

Thank you very much. Best regards to all,

Javier Herrero

You should be able to use the -boot option either at the command line
or within a hex utility command file (which is similar to a linker
command file). This option tells the hex utility to convert all
initialized sections found in the input file (the .out coff file
output from the TI linker) to boot records. -Shawn
