Hello,

I am looking for a bootloader example application, which operates the serial interface (USIC U0C0, Ports P1.4 and P1.5 for ASC functionality). It should include the bootloader code for the XMC4500 as well as the corresponding code based on a Windows PC.

The Hexagon Application Kit features a RS485 interface connected to ports P1.4 and P1.5.

Does anybody know of such an example application?

Is there a Windows based module (Active-X, DLL, etc) available, which loads the bootloader into the XMC4500 and can be used for flash programming?

Best wishes

Hey Helmut,

we are currently working on an Application Note for the UART BSL. This document is planed to be avalible by end of March. Finally we plan as well to provide a PC example which can handle the Flash programming on the XMC4000.

Hi Ron, It's been a year and I'd really like to see the Application Note for the UART BSL or any bootloader application/example code.

Can you suggest where I could get it. Thx

Hi all,

It is available at XMC4000 webpage. Click here..
Please look for 'Tooling Guide - XMC4000 - ASC Bootloader' under the document section.
There are other documentation related to XMC4000 device for your references too.

Hello.

I am interested in testing the ASC-BSL with the Hexagon Application Kit, but there is something I am not quite sure. The communication must be done through lines ASC_RXD and ASC_TXD. How can I accede these two lines easlly? I do not think they are available at connector X331, as this is for RS-485 communication and the signals have been modified. I have seen the example document, but nothing is said about the real connection with the Hexagon CPU or COM boards.

Any suggestion?

Thank you,
José Luis.

Hi José Luis,

Do you have the extension board UNI_EXT01-V2 board?
You can connect it to the COM port of the hexagon board and access the ASC_RXD and ASC_TXD at pin27 and pin29 respectively.

Hi, Jackson.

Thank you very much for your answer. Yes, I have that board, but it was still in the box. I did not remeber I have it.

I will use the board. 🙂
