FPGA data


The FPGA data logical section holds information that the bootloader needs to
configure the TIM's FPGA.

1.4

User data


The User data logical section holds zero or more areas of user-specific data. There are
four types of data that can be programmed here:

1. Pure Data

The area contains binary data extracted from a file with no
interpretation..

2. S Record File

The area contains data extracted from a file in Motorola-S format. This
is described in section 9.9.3 if the Texas Instruments' publication
TMS320C6x Assembly Language Tools. User's Guide.

3. Executable Program

The area contains an executable program

4. Diamond Application

The area contains a Diamond application. This application may be for
one or more processors.


The number of areas that may be programmed is only limited by the arailable space in
the ROM.

Prerequisites


Before you can use SmtFlash you must configure Code Composer to match your
hardware. If Code Composer will not start successfully, SmtFlash will be unable to
function.

Note: Currently there appears to be a 30 second delay between Code Composer
terminating following an error condition and that fact being notified to SmtFlash. If
you stop SmtFlash during this period, a processor will be left running in the
background and you will need to use the Task Manager to stop it.
