TMS320F241 How to Flash or access memory on chip

Started by TukTuk April 26, 2007
Hello everyone

I see a chip thats on a board it says: 

a2c00022559
980 s1f35037pg
1998 TI
F20-2aack5w

um assuming its a TMS320F241 and i would like to access the memory of this
chip to modify it on-board programming though pins using micro grabbers

what would be the easiest way for me to do this and software to accomplish
such task

Jtag XDS510PP ? with cc4.1 ? Win95 ?, win98?

i got XDS510 USB2.0 but unable to connect or em i doing something wrong ?
running xp

you'm assumption may be wrong. What gave you the idea that its a ti dsp chip ?? What does the rest of the circuit look like ? Check out the data sheet: http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tms320f241.pdf There is an on-board boot loader, you may be able to use that. donald PS: who's code are you tring to steal ??

Well it says TI on it and the link i all ready know its a TMS320F241 64pin
QFP chip

i dont know what the rest looks like i dont think thats important

and um not trying to steal anyones code 
i only need to access the Memory part to ERASE modify it
it stores data that i need to remove it

That's not a TMS320F241. If it was a TMS320F241 then the package would say TMS320F241. I think TI generally puts they're logo on the chips (i.e. the little picture of Texas with the 'i' on it) as opposed to writing "TI". The errata sheet for the TMS320F241 shows what the device markings should look like: http://www.ti.com/litv/pdf/sprz150g Brad

Well, ok then, have fun. At least I can help you with your english; your "um" should be "I am" or "I'm" donald

Well what do you think it is then from these markings on the chip it self

 a2c00022559
 980 s1f35037pg
 1998 TI
 F20-2aack5w

Um pretty sure its a TMS320F241
