Hello Everyone,
I've been trying to figure out how to program my C5515 board in standalone mode (the model number is TMS320C5515 EVM); I am trying to upload the proper files in order to run either the SPO2, ECG, or Digital Stethoscope add-on boards. After following the documentation, I have been able to load the programmer.out file in Code Composer Studio v4; however, I am stuck at this point. The command prompt in CCSv4 reads:
Choose the device...
0XX - CPLD setup only
1x - NAND Flash [CSx: 2,3,4,5]
2x - NOR Flash [CSx: 2,3,4,5]
3x - SPI EEPROM [x=1: EVM, x=2: USB Stick]
4 - IIC EEPROM
5 - MMC; 6 - SD
I'd rather not choose a random memory block because I don't want to overwrite any pre-existing firmware that the board needs to run; is there a specific memory block that works better than the others? Also, do I still need to create the program.bin file using hex55? See this forum post: http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/tms320c5000_power-efficient_dsps/f/109/p/35338/123239.aspx#123239. The process on how to do that is slightly confusing since I have no way of opening hex55 (double-clicking the file doesn't work, and I am not sure how to load it in CCSv4).
Thank you very much from a beginner,
Zach Dean
