CCS for TMS320C6713

Started by sukhdeep singh June 29, 2010
Hi,
I have brought TMS320C6713B starter Kit. all the things are
working fine. now i want to write the code and burned into the flash.
Can i directory burn the test.out file into the flash? what is the
format of code composer studio output(test.out), is it in hex ,binary
file or any other format?

Second thing, how can i write code for TMS320C6713? is TMS320c6713B require only TMS320C6000 Chip Support Library only?
Singh,

the .out file is in Coff2 (with TI modifications) format.

(from my memory)
--file type indicator (0x0AC2)
--file header (file name, creation date, etc)
--optional header
--section headers for following sections
(includes offset pointer into this file for the section data)
(includes offset pointer into this file for the relocation data)
--multiple occurrences of section data, one for each initialized section
identified above
--multiple occurrences of relocation data
--symbol table section with symbol text (max 8 bytes)(or pointer into string
table), symbol value (or pointer into string table)
--string table (each string terminated with '\0')
--file terminator (0x0A0D)

Some loaders can directly use the .out file for burning FLASH
Most require the .out file to be fed to a utility (like HEX6000.exe) with
appropriate parameters to convert the .out file to hex/ascii or motorola 'S' or
similar format that the loader can use.

In the past, I have found the specifics for the .out file format in either the
help files or on-line at T.I.

A quick search found the document with the COFF format: SPRAA08.pdf
