flash burn

Started by Werner du Toit November 14, 2003
Hi All,
 
I'm having trouble using TI's flashburn utility.  I'm using CCS2.1 and flashburn 2.50 on my C6711DSK.  I can burn the led blink example, but not my own program.  The problem may rather be at the hex conversion.  When I use hex6x to convert to hex it only shows my vectors, .cinit, .text and .text sections in the prompt window.  Is this correct?  Any ideas?

Hi Werner,

Is the problem that flashburn is giving errors as you write the
flash or that when flashburn completes the writing the flash that
your program does not boot correctly?

What kind of hex.cmd file / command line options are you using with
hex6x. I beleive with flashburn you need to use option -a to make
the output standard ascii format.

The sections that should be displayed by hex6x are all the
initialized sections of your code. Look at you linker map file and
see if all the sections that are initialized are being outputted by
hex6x. But just by looking at the sections you named it seems that
you are missing a bootloader section so unless you program is less
than 1k it will probably not work. See the post example or spra743
for example bootloaders.

good luck
