CodeWarrior "Flash File to Target" trimming or not?

michaelsteffenf — Thu, 30 Oct 2014 18:58:28 GMT

In CodeWarrior there is a programming icon, called “flash file to target…”.
I’ve used this many times, but I don’t know if it is trimming the part.

Is have set the trimming freq to 36000, under "Advanced Programming Options".

Here is the log file when programming it. Is there any way to verify that the part is being trimmed using "flash file to target".?

fl::target -lc "LC for Simple Flash (1)"

fl::target -b 0x40 0x1000

fl::target -v off -l off

cmdwin::fl::device -d "MC9S08PT60_FLASH" -o "64kx16x1" -a 0x1040 0xffff

cmdwin::fl::image -f "C:\\Users\\R80133\\Documents\\PT60_MIKE.s19" -t "Auto Detect" -re on -r 0x1040 0xffff -oe off

cmdwin::fl::erase image

Hello Michael,

By default the debugger is using P&E flash programmer which allow you to change the Trim value.

The trim value is not managed by the "Flash file to target".

I ever got feedback from debugger team regarding this trim question.

" The "Flash file to Target" is not managing the trim value. "

To resume the situation.

If you're using the debugger to load your application, P&E flash programmer will be used and the trim value could be changed.

If you're using the Flash file to Target to load your application, the trim value is not managed.

In this case ff you want to program TRIM values with FSL flash programmer you could do it by applications which means you should declare some global variables at those address and initialize them with proper values.

Hope this will help you.
