Load binary files with ulink2

 Load binary files with ulink2

Hello, I'm working with ulink2 JTAG, and I need load binary files to a microcontroler ATSAM7. I have SAMBA, but this doesn't recognize ulink2, and I need load a binary (or hex) file to the microcontroller. Somebody can explain to me how can I use ulink2 to load these files please?

 RE: Load binary files with ulink2

With uVision4 Demo, it went like this:

Under "Flash"->"Configure Flash Tools"->"Output",
there is a textfield "Name of Executable".
You can select your binary file here and load it into flash with "Flash"->"Download".

Of course, you also need to choose the correct target chip and flash bank/range in the flash tool configuration.

Hi, I've tested this and I can't send any file.

I suggest you first try Blinky example for your board.
It can be found after you install MDK in ARM\Boards\Atmel\"name of board".
Just open Blinky project for your board and click on "Download to Flash Memory" button on the toolbar.
And disconnect the power from the board and reconnect it again.

Hi, I can develop projects and download them in my board. My problem is with one project which is being developed by other people, and they send me binary files, and I have to download them into de microcontroler Atmel AT91SAM7x256. I have download these files with SAMBA other times, using serial port of the micro, but I don't Know why it doesn't work now.

Have you tried Mr. Mathias's suggestion with the bin file converted to a hex file?

I've had issues flashing from a bin file, but flashing from a hex file works like a charm.

 RE: Load binary files with ulink2

You have to use a hex file.
So first convert bin file to hex and put its name into executable field.

How can I convert bin file into hex file?
