On the flash programming

[pietrodicastri]

Good morning

I have a serious problem of customer assistance. I need to update remotely the software on the target board. He has the JTAG

but I don t find a way to update using only the binary ELF or HEX. From the KDS it is necessary to work with the project and expose the source code.

I cannot to do so. So I need someone's solution to use the JTAG with only the binary.

Thank You

Pietro

Hi Pietro,

you don't need the sources, you can simply flash the file with the 'Flash from file...' function

Another way is to use the GDB command line (see Command Line Programming and Debugging with GDB | MCU on Eclipse ).

Or simply use a dummy project and in the debug configuration specify the binary you want to download:

I hope this helps,

Erich

After a lot of tries I manage to get through the process.

It seems I need always to go in SWD even my hardware does not need, and use some magic numbers.

I don t thing it is supporting the CYCLONE now..

Thank You

Hi Erich

I tried your suggestions. but the flash from file does not work.

I just use the Main tab, I specify in the Project a name, and the file name. When I try to flash the progress bar they proceed until the end.

But the board does not start the application.

I tried also to manipulate the settings in the other tab pages. But I get no results.

I need a deeper guideline to use the programmer.

Thank You for the support

Pietro
