11.6 How to Build an Image Guide

This section describes the recommended procedure to build a binary image. Before starting, please verify the following checklist:

  • Capacity of the serial flash
  • Location of all user files
  • Desired setup of all configuration files
  • Latest Service Pack binary file

Figure 47 describes the flow that must be followed in order to generate an image.

The recommended steps to build the image:

  1. Build a session and include the following files:
    1. System files: by configuring any system file from the System Files group.
    2. Configuration files: by configuring the desired Configuration Groups and checking their respective Update checkbox.
    3. User files: by manually adding files via the Add File button.
  2. Save the session.
  3. Go to Gang Programming group.
  4. Import the session into the Gang Programming window by clicking AddWrite all files in the session option and then pick the *.usf session you created. All files should be imported into the window.

  5. Click on Settings button and configure the Storage Capacity Bytes from the drop down window.
    6. cc3x00-gui-18-general-settings-swru558.jpgFigure 49. General Settings
  6. Add a format command by clicking the Add → Add Format Storage Command. This step is mandatory as it creates the FAT table.
    7. cc3x00-gui-13-add-format-swru558.jpgFigure 50. Add Format
  7. It is optional to add logging during image extraction. It can be done by clicking the Add → Add Start Logger Command. It is recommended mainly in development phase and not during production line.

  8. Add the Service Pack. This step is also mandatory as the device gets formatted and the latest Service Pack should be used. It can be done by clicking the Add → Add Write Service Pack Command.
    9. cc3x00-gui-15-add-service-pack-swru558.jpgFigure 52. Add ServicePack
  9. Export to create the binary image or Program to create and program the binary image.
    10. cc3x00-gui-16-export-swru558.jpgFigure 53. Export
  10. Make sure you get no errors on the Console window. You should get the Finished Successfully message and the total amount of required blocks as shown in Figure 53.
  11. Reset the device. Upon initialization, the device extracts the binary image and executes the command, one-by-one. If the procedure is successful, SimpleLink device sends the initialization complete event.
