This page describes how to program and execute code from the on-chip flash memory. Using the on-chip flash eliminates the need for external non-volatile memory or a host processor from which to bootload.

Link Initialized Sections to On-Chip-Flash

1) Click your Project with the right Mouse Button --> Open Properties

2) Navigate to General --> Select the Linker command file: F28335.cmd

Apply and Close --> F28335.cmd is created in Project Folder

3) Open file F28335.cmd and replace code by this code

Initialized Sections are now linked to Flash for standalone operation

Executing from Flash after Reset

4) Click your Project with the right Mouse Button --> New --> File

5) Name your file "TMS320F28335_Startupcode.asm" - Ensure that it is an assembly file with ending .asm

6) Open file TMS320F28335_Startupcode.asm and replace code by this code

Check your configuration

7) Click Build Project

8) Click Debug Button --> Erasing Flash Sectors appears

9) Click Reset CPU Button

--> Disassembly window opens

--> Click View Disassembly...

You can see the start of the bootloader in the bootram now

10) You can now single step through the bootloader, to understand the operations of the bootloader | Or you click on Run --> Go Main to skip the single steps

--> When code jumps to your main() function, it confirms that your flash has been programmed properly and that the bootloader is properly configured to jump to flash.

Flash has been successfully programmed and your code runs in standalone operation on the TMS320F28335 when it is powered.
