IAR EMBEDDED WORKBENCH AND J-FLASH

Hi , I'm a college student in electronic engineering at the University Of Naples Federico Secondo (Italy) and I've got a big problem.
I use a Segger J-LINK for real time debugging and it works very fine .
So now I've finished and fully tested my C code and I've got also an evaluation license for j-flash , but I don't find nowhere the right detailed procedure to program the ARM's flash with the code produced by the Embedded Workbench.
Does somebody knows how to get a valid file format (bin , motorola , intel etc. etc. ) to program an NXP
LPC2378 with j-flash with the code produced bythe IAR Embedded WorkBench (the free version ,
the code size limited I mean)?
Thank you very much.

Best regards ,
Marco Aiello. ?(

Hi Marco,

Simply select another format in the project options dialog.
  • Go to Project\Options (ALT+F7)
  • Click on the Linker item
  • In the Linker\Format group select "Other" and select either
    • raw-binary
    • intel-extended
    • motorola
  • Rename the extension of the output file to the extension J-Flash can read.
    • raw-binary - *.bin
    • intel-extended - *.hex
    • motorola - *. mot

That's it. :thumbsup:

Cheers,

How to program a Flash on EBI bus

Hi,

I have an Atmel CAP9 plateform (ARM 926EJ-S). I've also a SAM-ICE emulator but I don't know how to use it with J-Flash to program the external flash memory on an EBI.

Thank you for any help.


Warm Regards,

Hi MFM,

It's very easy.
All you have to do is to setup a simple project file.
Do the following:
  • Open J-FLash
  • Goto File\New Project
  • Now open the project options via Options\Project settings
  • Set both J-TAG speed options to "Adaptive clocking", since the core is an ARM926EJ-S Core.
  • Set in CPU tab
    • Core: ARM7/ARM9
    • Little endian
    • Use target RAM: 00100000; Size 32KByte
    • Init Sequence: Reset;0;0
    • [If you have the PLL initialization sequence, add the steps here]
  • Set in Flash tab:
    • Base Addr: 10000000
    • I assume that you are using one Flash chip with 16bit data width therefore Organization: 16x1
    • Automatically detect flash memory is checked.
  • Click the OK button
  • Try to connect to target.
  • If everything works fine you can program/erase/readback the flash.
  • Save of course :D the newly created project.
You can find detailed information in the J-Flash manual.

Cheers,

Hi marocprof,

thanks for the hints, it helped, I'm able now to connect to the device, meanwhile every time I want to do an operation on the flash (test speed, read contents, etc) this message comes out:

Quoted

Timeout while checking target RAM, core does not stop
Failed to read back target memory
Then the target disconnects.

Thank you for your support.

Hi MFM,

I found the reason for that.
1. CPU is running with slow clock.
2. Watchdog is enabled.

To make things easier, I made a simple project file that includes everything.
The correct settings + initialization.
You can download it from the following location:
http://www.1webspace.biz/marocprof/AT91CAP9.jflash

Download the file and open it with J-Flash.
Let me know if this helps.


Cheers,

Hi marocprof,

While trying with your project and I was getting:

Quoted

Could not find supported CPU core on JTAG chain
Bad JTAG communication: Write to IR: Expected 0x1, got 0x0 (TAP Command : 15) @ off 0x5.
Then after clicking OK a second error message

Quoted

Could not find any flash devices
Failed to connect
So I simply set both J-TAG speed options to "Adaptive clocking" like you said in your 1st post to get connected to the target.
Now everything is fine, thank you.

Warm Regards,

HI MFM,

Great :thumbsup: that are great news :thumbsup:
I've updated the file, so that adaptive clocking is used instead of fixed speeds.
