Hello,
I'm trying to make program my board using simulink and would like to load a program onto it so that when I plug it in, my program will boot and run automatically. I have encountered several problems while attempting this:
1) It seems that the switches on the board must be in a certain position and that the I might need to add or remove some jumpers. Most posts just say that it must be in the same position as when I took the board out of the box. Since I was not the first person to use this board, I do not know what those settings are. Could someone please tell me what position the switches and jumpers should be in?
2) From what I have understood, I need to build my program to load onto the flash memory of the board. In the configuration parameters of my simulink model under hardware implementation , I set my hardware board to "TI Piccolo F2802x (boot from flash)" and the device name to F28027 and checked the "Boot from flash (standalone execution)" box. Next, I went into "Flash_loader" group under the hardware implementation and ensured that it was set to "Erase, Program and Verify." The problem seems to be with the location of the API. When I hit "execute" I get an error saying that "The TI flash API library does not exist on your machine. Specify the right path or download the appropriate flash APIs from TI's website or TI's controlSUITE installer." The downloadable APIs in the TI site are only for ccsv3.3 and 4. Where can I find the appropriate ones for my version (ccsv5)?
3) I have heard that I should be able to build and load the program straight from simulink without having to go through the CCS program at all. How do I go about doing this?
Thank you very much for the help!
