Flash.exe program fails

Started by Claudio San Roman Denegri February 27, 2003
Hi ,

I am using :

CCS 2.0
DSK c6711

I am trying to burn the simple program Post.hex to the DSK Flash ROM.

I am using flash.exe from :

C:\ti\examples\dsk6711\board_util\flash\Host\Debug

So I wrote :

C:\ti\examples\dsk6711\board_util\flash\Host\Debug>flash post.hex

TMS320C6211/6711 DSK Flash Programming Utility, Version 2.04, May 2001

ERROR: Please specify a valid board configuration file via the -f option.

What is this configuration file ?

I tried with other examples of hex file and this configuration file was not
needed(??) :

C:\ti\myprojects\INDEP1\Debug>flash flashrom.hex

Do you want to keep it? (Yes/No): y
FAILED: dsk6x_coff_load()!

Why did it failed ?
Is mi DSK ROM out of order ?

CCS was shut down during this tests and I reset the board before executing
flash.exe

Please help me to solve this. It would be very helpful , if somebody can send a

hex file that works and flash.exe ( if necessary).

Thanks in advance.
