Software architecture 21/70
2.3.2 Hardware configuration file (*.hwc)
Brief description
Mandatory binary file containing the hardware setup configuration of the
netX 90, like e.g. DPM settings, pin assignments of external SQI flash and
SDRAM (if applicable), PHYs and UARTs, etc.
The
*.hwc
file is evaluated by the ROM code during booting.
Size: 8 KByte
Creating/editing
The OEM can create and edit the hardware configuration in netX Studio
CDT . For more information on this, please refer to the document Getting
started: netX Studio CDT – netX 90 development (DOC170504GSxxEN),
section How to ... Configure the netX 90 hardware .
Flashing/downloading
The HW config binary can be flashed to the netX 90 by the Flasher tool of
netX Studio CDT. The GUI-integrated Flasher tool of netX Studio CDT will
automatically write the file to the right location within the flash memory of
the device. For more information about the Flasher tool, please refer to the
How to ... Use the Flasher tool section in the above-mentioned Getting
started document.
Important:
The netX Studio‘s GUI-integrated Flasher tool checks the file name
extension in order to decide where to flash the file to. Therefore, do
not change the file name extension, unless you want to define the
location/offset manually.
If you do not want to use the GUI-integrated Flasher tool of netX Studio
CDT, but other tools instead – like e.g. the command line flasher (see
section
How to use the Command line flasher [
}
page 57]) – note the
following parameters:
Flash chip/device:
INTFLASH0
Offset:
0x0
Size:
0x2000
