Example parameters could be:
- The programming algorithm image to load, for example, the Keil Flash Algorithm
file.
- The location & size of RAM the method can use for running code, buffers, and
similar items.
- Clock speeds.
- Timeouts.
- Programming and erase page sizes.
The default values of the parameters are taken from the flash configuration file.
Note
You can override the parameters from the DS-5 command line.
The programming method can obtain the value of the parameters with:
getParameter(name) returns the value of a parameter as a
string. The method can convert this to another type, such as integers, as
required. None is returned if no value is set for this
parameter.getParameters() returns a map of all parameters to values. Values can then
be obtained with the [] operator.
For example:
def setup(self):
# get the name of the core to connect to
coreName = self.getParameter("coreName")
# get parameters for working RAM
self.ramAddr = int(self.getParameter("ramAddress"), 0)
self.ramSize = int(self.getParameter("ramSize"), 0)
