6.2 Configure Flash Programmer Tool (Linux)

This section describes how to configure the CCS UniFlash Flash programmer tool in the Eclipse environment for Linux.

1. Create a target configuration file for your device. Open CCS Uniflash. Select File → New Target Configuration.
2. Select Texas Instruments XDS100v3 USB Emulator in the ‘Connection Field. In the ‘Board or Device’ field, select the device you are working with. Then click OK.
3. Select File → Save Target Configuration and save your target configuration file in the project folder of the blink-led example. In this application report, it is assumed that the file has been named CC26x0F128.ccxml.
4. In Eclipse, Navigate to Run → External Tools → External Tools Configurations.
5. Right click on 'Program' in the left side panel and select 'New' to create a new Tools configuration.
6. Fill in the fields 'Name', 'Location' and 'Arguments' as shown in Figure 17.
   1. Location should be set to the directory where the CCS UniFlash was installed.
   2. In the 'Arguments' field, type in the following code:
   -ccxml “${project_loc:blink_led}/CC26x0F128.ccxml” –program “${project_loc:blink_led}/../../bin/gcc/blink_led.elf”

   blink_led.elf is the output of the project, created during build. CC26x0F128.ccxml is the target configuration file that was created by UniFlash.
