Reprogramming the firmware and boot code

The Reprogramming\flash directory of the distribution disk contains a utility that
will run under code composer and program the flash ROM. The utility is called
pflashx_y_z.out

, where x_y_z is the FPGA version number.

You load the utility with the code composer “Load Program” option from the “File”
menu. Once the program has loaded, you should select “Run” from the “Debug”
menu. The reprogramming process takes a minute or so and should display “Flash
programming complete” when it has finished. After the program has run you should
“Halt” the processor from the “Debug” menu and select “Run Free”. To confirm that
the programming has been successful you should use the Sundance Server to reset
the board and execute one of the supplied test programs.
A detailed description of the reprogramming process is available as an Application
Note [2], which will also help you to develop your own core in the FPGA.
