can code composer program on board flash?

Started by bsd_mike November 18, 2004


I have an external flash device that I am programming by having
my program inside an array of a "programming" program...which
can write it out to flash.

Problem is that I am running out of ram. ...I can't hold
my application program inside my program program much longer.

Is there a utility on code composer that would allow me to
write the onboard flash? (Similiar to how P&E Micro writes
flash on a 68k device?)

Thanks,
Mike

If you are using CCS 2.x (I'm not sure about 1.x) go to tools->Flashburn

There is a TI appnote and associated code for customizing the utility to
work with your memory map and type of flash. It uses the JTAG and CCS to
transfer the file to the target for burning.
