xflash: Error: F03040

[mifay]

Hello,

I'm using an XMOS XK-1A and when I'm trying to execute a small uart program with xflash, I get the following error message :

Code: Select all

xflash: Error: F03040 Platform definition (XN) does not specify a boot SPI flash.
Error: F03074 Error extracting SPI port information.

I've looked around the forum for similar issues and noticed that I had to write my own .xn file according to my XMOS hardware. How can I do that?

did you solve this problem already?
That would be the first step before jumping to flashing

Oh, no worries, these are two different codes. The code I use with the xflash problem compiles perfectly and executes very well with the JTAG option. Sadly, it fails to execute with xflash.

How exactly do you compile and flash?
Are you using the command line or the XDE?

There is a board support package for the XK-1A (contains the XN file).
But targeting XK-1 should be fine too (they use the same flash device according to the XN files)

Yes, I'm executing from the XDE : Project > Run As > Write to Flash Memory.

I tried to run the program with XK-1.xn and it seems to be working, thanks :) I was using the default XC-1.xn, which is incomplete for flashing.

By the way, any idea what the following warning means?

Code: Select all

Warning: F03098 Factory image and boot loader cannot be write-protected on flash device on node "0".

I'm now getting this warning when flashing with XK-1.xn. Besides that, it's executing perfectly.

You can ignore that warning. It just tells you that this flash device does not support write protected sections.

You shouldn't use the XC-1 target for your XK-1A board. The XC-1 has a quad-core XS1-G4 processor and the XK-1A has a single-core XS1-L1 processor. Stick to the XK-1 target :)
