C6713B

Hi Everybody.
I want to use FBTC for my custom card. But My card dose not have SDRAM and
only one flash is connected to it at CE1 space i.e. 0x90000000 base address.
I am using ATMEL AT29lv40 Flash.How could i program . I donot want to
program it seprately. Can i modify FBTC or FBTC requires much more memory ??

I am not sure, but since I have seen it in relation to FlashBurn, I
will *guess* "Flash Burn Target Code".

Hi,

In DM642 evaluation board FBTC is a propietary aplication for flash burning. You can try it in the demo board but if you want it for a custom board you have to pay for it.

Hi,
Well, then if FBTC or whatever can be placed in internal SDRAM, no problem.otherwise, many drivers for Flash (source code) can be found that can be put in internal SDRAM.

According to this document:

http://focus.ti.com.cn/cn/lit/an/spra804a/spra804a.pdf

"FlashBurn Target Component: a DSP program that is
downloaded to the DSP target system by the FlashBurn
application. This DSP program communicates with the
FlashBurn application using the communications
protocol described in the Exchange Communications
Protocol document. Example FBTC programs are
provided by TI with source code.

Where did you see that FBTC is proprietary? If TI is providing source code for it, I
doubt that it's proprietary.

This got my curiosity up so I did some research...
FlashBurn 3.11 is a direct replacement for the FlashBurn 2.x utility
that was available through Texas Instruments. SDS has licensed the
FlashBurn product and will be maintaining and enhancing FlashBurn
going forward.
http://www.softwaredesignsolutions.com

They have a tutorial for porting/configuring FBTC.
This tutorial gives information on configuring FlashBurn for a custom
hardware target. This process involves modifying, building and
running a FlashBurn Target Component (FBTC) application that will
execute in RAM on the custom hardware target.

Hi,

FBTC is composed of two different programs, one of them runs inside the DSP and is the one that burns the flash, the other one runs inside the PC and is the one to send the burning file and the burning parameters to the DSP. It uses RTDX for transfers.

Hello

FBTC is not from TI, it is form some third party, i can't remember who right now.
There is some kind of guide, but first you have to pay if you want to change it. You can try it in the evm board "as it is".

I spent some time trying but at last instead of FBTC I am using the board support library flash functions reading the file info with fread. It works quite well and it is free.
