Hello, I'm having problems boot loading my 56F800DEMO board from Motorola. I boot loading the board through the serial port on CW v5.1 but this method does not appear to be supported in CW special edition v6. Has anyone else had the same problem? Are there any solutions for this as the prototype boards I've manufactured use this method for programming? Going back to CW v5.1 is not an option as the SDK libraries use too much overhead. |

Are you just trying to upload the Flash.elf.S file
using the Motorola Bootloader? If so I have a program that will do
it.

I posted the S-Record loader at the following address: http://www.pontech.com/products/DSP56Fxxx/index.html It's not well documented right now, nor does every feature work, but it does upload S-Records quite well. Jacob P.S. Sorry for the ad in the free program, I couldn't resist. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Tarbert [mailto:] Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2004 9:16 AM To: 'Jacob Christ' Subject: RE: [motoroladsp] CW v6 56F800DEMO Bootloader problems Jacob, I'm trying to upload the Flash.elf.s file using the Motorola boot loader but Metrowerks have said that CW v6 does not support this feature.

Andrew, I'm still using 5.1 (because I'm afraid to change version in the middle of a project), thanks for the heads up. I can believe that you are the only one that has this problem right now, I would suspect that you are just the first person to find the problem. Bleeding edge of technology and all... I'm going to post this to the message board. I would suspect that MW will fix the problem with in a week or two (Right MW?). Hmmm, what version is the bootloader firmware on you chips? The version on mine is 1.3.

I have tried the software and my code is being bootloader but then it returns the error #9, which I believe means that the flash is locked. When I create my code in CW v5.1 using the SDK libraries it bootloads ok but not when I use CW v6 with processor expert. Something is missing or was supported in v5.1 that is no longer in v6 but I don't know what to change. I contacted Metrowerks and they have put this down as urgent priority to fix but I have no idea as to how long it will take them. I can't believe that I am the only person that has this problem as anyone who tries to bootload their board with code written in CW v6 must have the same problem.

The error
#9 is INDICATE_ERROR_PROTECTED_BOOT_SECTION which is stating that the S record
being downlaoded is trying to program the area that the bootloader is running
from. As always it isn ot allowed to program a flash block you are currently
executing from. It does not relate to flash security.
The problem in
v6.0 is not a problem with the CodeWarrior program, but in the way the
defaults for the S record generation are set. To operate properly you need to
set the S record generation to :
- Check Sort By
Address
- Modify Max Record lenght to 80
- Modify EOL Charatcter to DOS from
Mac
This should resolve
the problem. Thanks.

Bill
