A.3 Using the FlashBurn Utility
If you want to place an update to the demo software or your own
application in Flash memory, you can use the FlashBurn plug-in utility.
Note: For the latest version of the FlashBurn utility and more information
about it, see the www.softwaredesignsolutions.com website.
Before you can use the FlashBurn utility, you must follow these
installation steps:
1) Install CCStudio 3.3.38.2 from the Spectrum Digital CD included in
the DVDP.
2) Install the EVM Target and Drivers Content from the Spectrum Digital
CD included in the DVDP.
3) Do NOT install the FlashBurn utility from the Spectrum Digital CD. Go
to http://www.softwaredesignsolutions.com/flashburn.aspx and
download the free FlashBurn DSK utility (registration required).
Install the FlashBurn DSK.
4) Install the DVDP's DVSDK software, provided by TI. Within the main
install directory, there is a directory called "flashburn_files", which
contains all the needed files referenced in these instructions.
To flash the DM6437 EVM for booting in NOR FastBoot AIS mode, follow
these steps:
1) Connect the EVM to the PC via the supplied USB cable to use the
board’s embedded emulation support. Then, plug in the EVM.
2) Start DM6437 EVM CCStudio v3.3. Use the desktop
icon to start CCStudio, since this sets up the proper
board connection and loads the correct GEL file.
3) Make sure that the JP2 jumper is set to "Flash." If it is
not, shut down CCStudio, power off the board, and start
over at step 1 of these instructions.
4) Connect to the target EVM by pressing Alt+C in CCStudio.
5) Reset the CPU in CCStudio. (If you skip this step, FlashBurn has
trouble connecting to the EVM and loading its program successfully.)
6) Start the FlashBurn DSK Utility using the Windows Start menu to
choose All Programs->Software Design Solution->FlashBurn
DSK .
7) If you are ask to create a configuration, choose "Create a New
FlashBurn configuration". Otherwise, within the FlashBurn Utility,
choose
File->New to start a new configuration file (.cdd).
