--image-search-sector usage?

[jdfenley]

Having trouble using the xflash command --image-search-sector. When I type:

xflash --image-search-sector
I get:
Error: F03089 When multiple upgrade images and no global factory image is specified a target must be specified with --target.!!

Next, tried creating a my-xmos.xn file and put it in C:\Program Files (x86)\XMOS\xTIMEcomposer\Community_14.3.2\targets\MY-XMOS/ folder...
xflash --image-search-sector --target MY-XMOS
I get:
Error: F03021 No Factory or Upgrade image to build.

my-xmos.xn file attached.

Anyone know how to use --image-search-sector???

Thanks,
John

The XFLASH manual says --image-search-sector is the default mode as of tools 14.2.

What are you trying to do with xflash?

Based on the description of the command in the Xflash manual, I was hoping --image-search-sector and/or --image-search-page would tell us what version(s) of bootable images are in the Flash. I'm testing various field upgrade routines and looking for a convenient way to know if they are working. I'm also working with a remote partner who is doing some testing and they are not XMOS-literate... thought --image-search-sector might be a convenient way for them to know what version they are running. Might even be helpful when I receive a board in from a customer. I just cant seem to figure out how to make the command work and there is precious little info online. Thanks.

Use the libflash API to iterate through the available images in the flash. See app_flash_util for an example. It may already be compatible with your board.
