Known Issue(s)
ID | Description | Targeted Release |
---|---|---|
N/A | On some C2000 devices, if the device is locked, a “Verify Image” operation will fail since it does not perform an unlock operation before it tries to reads/verify memory. A workaround is to keep the core connected, unlock the core by providing the correct password, and then executing the verify operation. | N/A |
UNIFLASH-570 | On flash devices, it is recommnded that you do not load to both RAM and flash memory in the same program, as the RAM memory can be overwritten by RAM needed by the flash algorithm. | N/A |
UNIFLASH-1309 | On some C2000 devices, clicking on “Fill Security Fields from Target” button may not reflect correct values for LINKPOINTERS | N/A |
CCBT-2603 | On C2000 F28004x/F28002x devices, after programming any new DCSM setting, a lock/unlock GUI sequence will fail to unlock the device. A debug reset needs to be issued for the unlock to work. | N/A |
