Programming new Version failed with TI Flashpr.2

[Ledikie]

Hello,
I'm trying to program the new version "CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_coordinator_20230507.hex" to RFStar module.
But it failed.
When I program the last version "CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_coordinator_20221226.hex" it runs without a problem.
I tried it several time without success. My programmer Texas Smartflash2 with XDS110.

try flashing with python script as mentioned here: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/adapters/#flashing-cc1352-cc2652-cc2538-based-adapters

works for me

I have only the pure board (RFSTAR RF-BM-2652P2 SMA Ant.). The board is connected with 4 wires direct to my Raspi4 for operation. 2 for power supply and 2 for RX/TX.

To do the programming, I soldered 3 additional wires to the board, and connect it to the XDS110.

What I saw is the difference between the size of the 2 files:
CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_coordinator_20230507.hex 498 KB new one
CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_coordinator_20221226.hex 401 KB older one
Maybe this is the reason why I can’t program the new file.

Several threads/issues about the same. Try another tool to flash with (I had the same)

Find a solution to program it with TI Flashprogrammer2.
Followed the instructions by this link: #397 (comment)
Changed the file from ....hex into ....bin

I got same error with 2023 firmaware, but 202212 - worked fine.
Smth wrong is with .hex file

[Koenkk]

The TI flash programmer v2 is broken, it doesn't support support the latest .hex files their SDK generate. There is nothing I can fix from the firmware side here. (use TI UniFlash/cc2538-bsl as an alternative).

It worked fine for me using hex2bin.

[kgiedrius]

TI flash program is also broken on newest windows version.

@Koenkk Maybe you can include .bin version of .hex file so it can be flashed with TI 2 programmer software

come on Guys - just use the mentioned cc2538-bsl.py Script. It works like a charm
