Getting error while downloading frimware to ROM

Hello Dialog Team,

Am trying to flash the HCI app(target apps) firmware through eeprom programmer using the smart snippet tool box(JTAG interface). But see that connect succeeds and the rest of the operation s (Read32KB / Erase / Burn) fails.
Details:
File to download: path to hci_585.hex
Offset in EEPROM: 00000
EEPROM Mem size: 20000

Logs:
Post connect:

[INFO EEPROM @17-11-13 13:40:16] Successfully configured I2C Eeprom ports and pins.

Read 32KB:
[INFO EEPROM @17-11-13 13:40:36] Started reading 32768 bytes from memory.
[ERROR EEPROM @17-11-13 13:40:42] Failed reading memory.

And from the DA14585 Product brief document see that following memories are available.
My requirement is that we don't want to use the OTP, as for development purposes we will have to change the fw configurations / or use different applications. Also, in case of using the SRAM, everytime we will have to download the firmware on power reset. So, how do we use the EEPROM or the 128 kB ROM mentioned below.

Memories
- 64 kB One-Time-Programmable (OTP) memory
- 96 kB Data/Retention SRAM
- 128 kB ROM Operating System and protocol stack

Thanks,
Nitish

嗨NitishW,

嗨NitishW,

Threre is no additional memory in the 585, the 128kB ROM that is mentioned in the datasheet is the memory space that houses the BLE stack, you cannot use that memory in order to store additional code for your project, the tool that is a part of Smart Snippets Toolbox is for programming external I2C EEPROM devices. If you dont want to use the OTP you will have to attach an external memory on the the 585.

Thanks MT_dialog
