own api flashing dsp 2812

Started by laurence September 11, 2006
Hello,
I work on  a 2812 dsp board, I make a c# application to test it and now i
want to flash it.

On this board i have four Dsp (not interconnected), i use SDFlash with
four com port and four sdp project.

I can create a process which will launch four SDFlash.
Does SdFlash can take arguments in a command line, like this ?
\SdFlash clientprjCom1.sdp
...
\SdFlash clientprjCom4.sdp

An other idea is to create my own window working like SDFlash.
In this case, do you know if it's possible to have SDFlash source code
or informations about c++ input methods that i can call to flash dsp.

A last question, does it exist an industrial method to flash more fastly
several dsp.

thank you for your help.
Laurence

Good idea.

The procedure of the bootloading of the TMS28xx is quite simple and well described in the application notes. There is no problem to develop it from scratch. You can use the resident flash API from TI or develop the flasher of your own.

The parallel programmer is much faster. This could also be done with the ATE on the production line, if your board supports for that. Vladimir Vassilevsky DSP and Mixed Signal Design Consultant http://www.abvolt.com
