Support for Texas Instruments Dual Core C2000 Microcontrollers added

We recently added support for the Dual Core versions TMS320F2837xD of the microcontroller provided my TI to our C2000 Bootloader. The bootloader protocol was extended by support for multiple banks, as both cores have separated address spaces.

During startup, the bootloader will check the integrity of the flash content for both cores and will only start the application, if both cores report correct flash memory checksums and the very same application version.

This way, the bootloader will only activate applications that has been flash correctly and which are known to work together correctly.

The size of the bootloader is less than 32kByte and thus consumes just a small fraction of the available flash memory.

The bootloader can be licensed by our customers for their own projects or can be customized by us to suit our customers needs. Get in touch, if you are interested in more details.

Support for f2806x added

The range of devices, supported by our Bootloader for the Texas Instruments C2000 DSP family, was extended by the mid performance TMS320F2806x devices. The bootloader allows reliable firmware update over the CAN bus. The size of the bootloader is less than 32kByte and thus consumes just a small fraction of the available flash memory.

The bootloader can be licensed by our customers for their own projects or can be customized by us to suit our customers needs. Just get in touch, if you are interested in more details.

C2000 Bootloader

Torrox developed a Bootloader that supports the TMS320F28379S and TMS320F28377D from Texas Instruments C2000 DSP family. The bootloader allows reliable firmware update over the CAN bus. The size of the bootloader is less than 32kByte and thus consumes just a small fraction of the available flash memory. With a default CAN speed of 500,000kbit/s, the installation of new firmware on a device is much faster than by using the original debug probes (like XDS100, XDS200) from TI. This makes the usage of the bootloader even beneficial during the development phase of a project, as it speeds up the usual development cycles by quite a margin. 

The bootloader can be licensed by our customers for their own projects or can be customized by us to suit our customers needs. Just get in touch, if you are interested in more details.
