My team and I are currently designing with the C6657 and want to use the SPI bootmode. We plan on having a FPGA drive the BOOTMODE pins at power on such that the DSP's boot ROM can interface with a SPI flash memory (micron part) to load the software into internal RAM.
My question is, what options do we have for writing our software binary into the SPI flash memory?
I've seen that one option is by using the MCSDK to load in an software application that reads data from the JTAG interface and writes it into SPI flash memory.
Is this true? if so, besides the MCSDK, what programming hardware do I need and is there what JTAG connector is required for the board design?
What other options are there?
Thanks.
