2.2 DLPC900 Firmware Programming Commands

The Programming commands manage downloading a new firmware image into flash memory. Firmware Programming can be done over I2C or USB interfaces.

Note: The commands in the DLPC900 Programming Commands section are only valid in program mode except for Enter Program Mode (I2C: 0x30 or USB 0x3001), which exits normal mode and enters program mode. Once in program mode, the user must issue the proper Exit Program Mode (I2C: 0x30 or USB 0x0030) command to return to normal mode. While in program mode, commands outside of this section do not work.

Flash memory has the address layout shown in Table 2-19. The design is for up to a single 128 megabyte flash device for storing the firmware.

Note: Depending on memory needs the design can also be used for a single 16, 32, or 64 megabyte flash memory.

The firmware consists of the bootloader, the main application, any sequences and images stored in flash (optional), and 1 Megabyte of reserved space. This area (0x9000000 - 0x9FFFFFF) must not be overwritten.

The bootloader is located at the beginning of flash memory block 0. The size of the bootloader is 128 kilobytes, beginning at address 0xF9000000. The bootloader is necessary for operation. If the bootloader becomes corrupted in some way it may render the device inoperable requiring JTAG to reprogram. The bootloader is followed by the main application and 1 megabyte of reserved space. Pattern and sequence data starts at 0x9240000. Patterns may not span memory block boundaries.

Note:

Writing across memory block boundaries is not permitted. Patterns must not span across block boundaries between blocks because of the extended addressing schema. If a pattern does not fit in a given block, the entire, 24-bit image (or composite image) must be moved into next block.
