    The green Programming/Pass LED stops blinking and turns on solid if the target’s FLASH Memory contents are verified as good. If verification fails, the red Fail LED turns on solid. If the TFP2 cannot communicate with the target, the red Fail LED turns on immediately. Communications failure may result from no target power, bad cable or faulty target board.

    4.1 TFP2 CHKSUM.EXE UTILITY Prior to downloading the target’s hex file to the TFP2, the target’s hex file must be pre-processed using the CHKSUM.EXE utility provided with the enclosed diskette. A hex file not processed with CHKSUM.EXE will result in incomplete programming of the target’s FLASH memory.

  • Page 22: Figure 4-2: Chksum.exe Warning Display

    Either the CHKSUM.EXE calculated CRC and checksum bytes are copied or the original target’s hex data are copied. If the last two bytes of the target hex file are 0xFF (CHKSUM not used), the TFP2 overwrites the last two 0xFF bytes with its calculated checksum during the Hyper-Terminal file Download operation.

  • Page 23: Figure 4-4: Tfp2 Help Menu

    Rotate the Memory Size Switch to a proper setting and re-apply power to the TFP2 to update the Memory Size setting. If the target hex file has non-FF values in any of the last four bytes, the above power-on screen may display a “TFP2 EEPROM verification error.” message.

  • Page 24: Table 4-1: Chksum Utility Addresses

    The TFP2 programs into the target memory what was previously downloaded (once downloaded, the last two words do not change during programming). The TFP2 then verifies the target memory to its internal memory resulting in the correct PASS indication even when user data is present.

    TSC Flash Programmer User’s Manual Possible reasons for a FAIL indication upon downloading a file to the TFP2: Downloaded file not Intel Hex format. USB to RS232 dongle communication problem (increase Line delay to 10 msec.). USB to RS232 dongle does not support XON/OFF.

  • Page 29: Target Flash Memory Programming

    Programming of the target’s FLASH memory begins with typing “P” followed by the “Enter” key. The green LED on the TFP2’s front panel blinks while the target FLASH memory is being mass erased, programmed and verified. The red LED will momentarily flash on at the start of programming. Upon completion of the target FLASH memory programming the following display appears.

    TSC Flash Programmer User’s Manual Pressing the Program Button on the front panel of the TFP2 automatically proceeds with device programming regardless of the security bit setting. Figure 4-12: Programming Overrides Security Bit If the TFP2 cannot communicate with the target board, a “Command Timeout” message appears. Possible reasons for a Command Timeout indication upon programming the target board: Power not provided to target board preventing TFP2 communication with target board.

  • Page 31: Previously Programmed Device Verification

    4.4 PREVIOUSLY PROGRAMMED DEVICE VERIFICATION A previously programmed device can be checked against the currently loaded image contained in the TFP2. Use the “C” command to perform this comparison. The green LEDs are illuminated if the flash contents of the device in the socket match the contents of the TFP2 EEPROMs.

  • Page 32: Device Status Check

    If the security bit is set, the target’s FLASH memory cannot be read. Therefore, the Status results cannot be displayed as shown below. Figure 4-16: Device Checksum and Security Bit Status with Security Bit Set Revision 1.0 32 of 40 © Copyright 2007 Teridian Semiconductor Corporation...

  • Page 33: Code Or Parameter Update

    FLASH memory, i.e. – code patch or parameters. Use the “D” command to download a code patch or a parameter table to the TFP2 EEPROM without erasing and reprogramming the entire TFP2 EEPROM memory. The memory locations to be reprogrammed are read from the downloaded Hex File.

  • Page 34: Figure 4-18: Parameter Mode Status

    Usage of the above parameter space assumes new program code does not exist at the previous parameter(s) address locations. The TFP2 also assumes that the parameters are stored as a contiguous block. This block of parameters can be located anywhere within the reserved memory locations.

  • Page 35: Boot Loader

    Semiconductor provided TFP2 firmware file is first downloaded to the TFP2’s EEPROM. Transfer of this revised firmware file from the TFP2’s EEPROM to its local program memory is performed by typing “BOOT” at the command prompt. Detailed Boot Loader instructions are provided in the following section.

  • Page 36: Figure 5-2: Tfp2 Boot Completion

    If the internal TFP2 EEPROM contents are corrupted (checksum comparison failure) or if the EEPROM contents do not represent a TFP2 code file (user’s target code), the BOOT command will NOT reprogram the TFP2. The current power-on screen is immediately displayed with no flashing PASS led when a problem is encountered with the EEPROM contents.

  • Page 37: Status Indications

    Red LED blinks after power-on – Incorrect Memory Switch setting: either position 6 or 7 selected. Red LED on 100% after TFP2 download – TFP2 download CRC failed. Red LED on 100% immediately upon Target programming – Target not responding upon attempted programming.
