Product Details

CrossCore Utilities is a collection of utilities for use with Analog Devices processors, in conjunction with CrossCore Embedded Studio, IAR or Keil development tools.

CrossCore Utilities includes the following tools:

  • ccsfp (CrossCore Serial Flash Programmer): GUI and command line utility for programming processor flash memory via UART serial connections.
  • elf2ldr: Command line utility for converting ELF-format executables into the loader stream ("ldr") format suitable for booting ADSP-CM40x processors, or for dynamic loading with the libldr library available in the Board Support Packages of some processors.
  • crctool: Command line utility for calculating and inserting cyclic redundancy check (CRC) values as required by the boot integrity checks of ADSP-CM41x, ADuCM302x and ADuCM4x50 processors.

Support is available for each of these tools on Windows. For Ubuntu Linux only ccsfp command line support is provided.

A CrossCore Embedded Studio license is not required in order to use CrossCore Utilities.
