Hi,

How can i upload the binaries compiled from ambiq sdk to the redboard using the default bootloader by using makefile ?

Can we use the artemis_svl.py from the arduino tools to upload it? if yes what are the procedures to follow?

Yes, you should be able to use ‘artemis_svl.py’ and call it from within your makefile. There are some examples of this here:

https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_Ap … c/Makefile

Also here is the usage of the ‘artemis_svl’ tool

$ python3 artemis_svl.py -h

usage: artemis_svl.py [-h] [-b BAUD] [-f BINFILE] [-v] [-t TIMEOUT] port

SparkFun Serial Bootloader for Artemis

positional arguments:

port Serial COMx Port

optional arguments:

-h, --help show this help message and exit

-b BAUD Baud Rate (default is 115200)

-f BINFILE Binary file to program into the target device

-v, --verbose Enable verbose output

-t TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT

Communication timeout in seconds (default 0.5)

I should clarify one thing: when you are planning to upload with the SVL loader you need to modify your linker script. That is taken care of in the example makefile that I linked to.

ASB start address: 0xC000

SLV start address: 0x10000

Thanks for the update :slight_smile:

Got it fixed using the ambiq bootloder with the ambiq_bin2board.py script.

unfortunately i didn’t saw your reply :expressionless:
