This section details the data transfer protocols or stream structures that allow boot data transfer between boot ROM and host device. This data transfer protocol is compatible to the respective bootloaders on C2000 devices.
Table 4-66 and Example4-2 show the structure of the data stream incoming to the bootloader. The basic structure is the same for all the bootloaders and is based on the C54x source data stream generated by the C54x hex utility. The C28x hex utility (hex2000.exe) has been updated to support this structure. The hex2000.exe utility is included with the C2000 code generation tools. All values in the data stream structure are in hex. Refer to Section 4.8.2 for more details on using the C28x hex utility to convert a project to this format.
The first 16-bit word in the data stream is known as the key value. The key value is used to notify the bootloader the width of the incoming stream: 8 or 16 bits. Note that not all bootloaders accept both 8 and 16-bit streams. Refer to the detailed information on each loader for the valid data stream width. For an 8-bit data stream, the key value is 0x08AA; for a 16-bit stream, the key value is 0x10AA. If a bootloader receives an invalid key value, then the load is aborted.
The next eight words are used to initialize register values or enhance the bootloader by passing values to the bootloader. If a bootloader does not use these values, then the values are reserved for future use and the bootloader simply reads the value and then discards. Currently only the SPI and I2C and parallel bootloaders use these words to initialize registers.
The tenth and eleventh words comprise the 22-bit entry point address. This address is used to initialize the PC after the boot load is complete. This address is most likely the entry point of the program downloaded by the bootloader.
The twelfth word in the data stream is the size of the first data block to be transferred. The size of the block is defined as an 8-bit data stream format. For example, to transfer a block of 20 8-bit data values from an 8-bit data stream, the block size is 0x000A to indicate 10 16-bit words.
The next two words notify the bootloader the destination address of the block of data. Following the size and address are the 16-bit words that makeup that block of data.
This pattern of block size and destination address repeats for each block of data to be transferred. Once all the blocks have been transferred, a block size of 0x0000 signals to the bootloader that the transfer is complete. At this point, the bootloader returns the entry point address to the calling routine, which cleans up and exits. Execution then continues at the entry point address as determined by the input data stream contents.
