Dome74 — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 22:17:29 GMT

I have a problem with the Flash programmer of CW, when I try to write the internal flash an error happen (below here there is the log information), if I use a third part CFFLasher all work correctly, have someone an idea of this problem??

In the flash programmer I load the CFM_MCF52235.xlm setting.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Domenico

What version of CodeWarrior are you using? ColdFire v6.3 or 6.4?

I'm using the version V6.4, the strange is that if I run the Erase command in Flash Programmer and afrer run the Program command I be able to load the program, but never work when I push the button debug.

Thanks for the interest.

Hello

Did you try to specify the S record file as input file for flash programming (.elf.S19)?

Is that working better?

If you cannot get that working I would recommend you to submit a service request for that.

Click here to submit a service request.

Make sure to attach a reproducible project and installed product information to the service request.
To generate the required information:
- Start CodeWarrior
- Open the project
- Select "Help" -> "Pack and Go" and follow instructions on the screen.

Attach the generated .zip file to the SR.

It will also help if you attached the detailed information returned by the programmer.

I have tried to seleceted my file S19 and set "Motorola S-Record format" in the file type but the problem there is again, I will try to do a service request.

Thank you very much for the help.

When using the built-in CodeWarrior flash tool you must always erase before programming. At least you get to decide the exact pieces you want to erase (if you don't want to erase everything).

With CF Flasher, you just hit program and it erases automatically. However, it seems to choose to erase in blocks of 16K. So for example if I have a little 4K boot program at zero, I cannot program something else at the 8K position without my first program being clobbered.
