Hi all,

I'm starting to develop a project for TMS320F2812 and I can not load the
code in to the target using XDS510PP+ emulator from Spectrum Digital with
CCS 2.21.xx. The following message appear "Data verification failed at
address 0x3D8028. Please verifiy target memory and memory map." That is a
flash address. I check the target memory and memory map and seems to be
OK. In the Memory or Disassembly windows in the FLASH zone I see all
location 0xFFFF.
Can I program the device with the build code (TMS320F2812 - flash) using
the CCS("CCS->File->Load Program") or I must first download the code into
the device using the Spectrum Digital utility program "SDFlash" and after
that do the debug part with CCS?

I'm not sure about the TMS320F2812 , but in DSK5416, DSK5510 and DSK6416
one need the FlashBurn utility to program the Flash, and the program is
needed to include boot loader and converted to a HEX format before
burning the flash. One can't just load it to the Flash (by
"CCS->File->Load Program") and then expect it to run upon starting the DSK.

Yes, you need a flash programing utility for the F2812 too. The "load
program" will only load ram areas.

Thanks all for your prompt response.
I finaly find that I need a "C2000 CCStudio 2.21 Flash Programmer PlugIn"
from TI site but it dosen't work on my CCStudio. My CCStudio was updated
from 2.20.00 to 2.21.13 and the condition for this update to work is
accomplish on my opinion. In "About" window of CCStudio appear Version:
2.21.13 but in the bottom I have "Integrated development (2.20.00).
Could be this the problem for why this PlugIn dosen't work on my updated
version of CCStudio?

PS: If I don't succeed with this PlugIn I will use the utility program
provided by Spectrum Digital.
Thanks all again and excuse my poor english.

I started using CCS with version 2.21 and had no problems with the
flash programming utility. You are correct in needing the proper
version which you should be able to get from the TI website. From the
numbers provided, it looks like you shouldn't have any compatibility
issues.

You didn't say, how it isn't working, just that it isn't. What error
messages are you getting?

I might also suggest looking at Ti's discussion groups. Sometimes
getting replies to posts there is a little difficult, but there is a
wealth of knowledege. You will probably need to search back through
the archives (folders) for the previous years.

Here is a link to their discussion group page:
