CCS/TMS320F28375S: boots form flash only when CAN is active

Part Number: TMS320F28375S

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi, 

so I have a strange problem. 

To get my uP to boot form flash I need to: 

1 start the rest of the sistem so CAN communication is running  

2 connect power to the uP (does not boot) 

3 remove the power 

4 reconnect power to the uP (now boots), but I have to not weight to long else it does not boot. 

This procedur is 100% repeatable. To run for flash I did all the same things that I did with my previews project.

;// FILE:  F2837xS_CodeStartBranch.asm
;//
;// TITLE: Branch for redirecting code execution after boot.
;//
;// For these examples, code_start is the first code that is executed after
;// exiting the boot ROM code.
;//
;// The codestart section in the linker cmd file is used to physically place
;// this code at the correct memory location.  This section should be placed
;// at the location the BOOT ROM will re-direct the code to.  For example,
;// for boot to FLASH this code will be located at 0x3f7ff6.
;//
;// In addition, the example F2837xS projects are setup such that the codegen
;// entry point is also set to the code_start label.  This is done by linker
;// option -e in the project build options.  When the debugger loads the code,
;// it will automatically set the PC to the "entry point" address indicated by
;// the -e linker option.  In this case the debugger is simply assigning the PC,
;// it is not the same as a full reset of the device.
;//
;// The compiler may warn that the entry point for the project is other then
;//  _c_init00.  _c_init00 is the C environment setup and is run before
;// main() is entered. The code_start code will re-direct the execution
;// to _c_init00 and thus there is no worry and this warning can be ignored.

I defined _FLASH to c2000 compiler, predefined Symbols. 

I added code_start to c2000 linker, advanced, symbol management specify program entry point:

Any idea where to start looking for the problem? 

Best regards,
