| + | ====== Flash a loader file manually ====== | ||
| + | This site describes how to burn a loader file **(*.ldr)** into the target FLASH memory.\\ | ||
| + | From Version Firenze on there is a [[flash_a_application|flashing application]] in the kick starter. | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | The *.ldr file can either be:\\ | ||
| + | - your application *.ldr file\\ | ||
| + | - the FDM-Interpreter *.ldr file | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | **1. Open Visual DSP++**\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | **2. Connect to the target**\\ | ||
| + | {{:toolchain:connect.png|}}\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | **3. Start the Flash Programmer**\\ | ||
| + | choose Tools -> Flash Programmer.. from the menu:\\ | ||
| + | {{:toolchain:start_flash_programmer.png|}}\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | **4. Select flash driver**\\ | ||
| + | {{:toolchain:load_driver.png|}}\\ | ||
| + | Browse to the driver or copy paste the path from the Loader File Generator window.\\ | ||
| + | The path might look like this: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\Targets\Schmid\Embedded\ZRefMnC\FlashDriver_ZRefMnC.dxe\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | **5. Press "load driver"**\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | **6. Select the Loader file**\\ | ||
| + | On the second tab of the Flash driver utility you can define the *.ldr file that is to be burned to the target.\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | Choose either the *.ldr file of your application, or\\ | ||
| + | burn the FDM-Interpreter <code><LabVIEW Directory>\Targets\Schmid\Embedded\<target>\interpreter<version>.ldr</code> into the target. | ||
| + | The specific path might look like this: | ||
| + | C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\Targets\Schmid\Embedded\ZRefMnC\interpreterd_V3.2.1_empoli_SP1.ldr\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | **7. Flash it**\\ | ||
| + | Check the settings and press "program"\\ | ||
| + | {{:toolchain:flash.png|}}\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | **8. Success**\\ | ||
| + | If you get the message that the application has flashed correctly, click OK and disconnect from the target. | ||
| + | Execute a power cycle or press the reset button to get the recently flased application running.\\ | ||
| + | Note:\\ | ||
| + | For Blackfin BF548 targets this process takes between 2..6minutes, for a Blackfin BF527 target 4..25minutes. | ||
