TMS320F28335: compacting the sections of the flash memory to create a bootloader

Part Number: TMS320F28335

hello,
i am trying to develop a new bootloader for my TMS320F2833 that resides on a Delfino evaluation board and manages a current software and an updated software. in my project the flash memory is segmented into 8 sections and is organized as follows:
the first section contains the botloader.
the sections 2 3 4 contain the current software image.
the sections 5 6 7 contain the updated software image.
my bootloader chooses what software to run at the start up of the system.
could you please give me any suggestions on how to rework the linker file to compact the sections 2 3 4 (make them adjacent) to contain the current software image and the sections 5 6 7 to contain the update software image? also any suggestion on how to verify that my current software size can be contained in those sections? following you can find my linker file that is arranged to contain just one program without bootloader.

  •  Dear Marcello, 

    Everything you need to know about linker command files is available here and here:

    Please study the details and do the related exercises in Module 2 of the training material available here.

    After you have reviewed this material, please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    Cheers!  Krishna 

  • hello,

    i succeeded in compacting my flash sections to contain the software image in a section large 0x18000. now, i am trying to make the software relocatable by using the related in advanced options->linker output. neverthless, i get many errors of the following type:

    program will not fit into memory.

    this happen for registers sections that should be allocated at fixed and not modifiable addresses in data memory as it can be seen in the attached snapshots (registers with red baloon do not fit into memory) so an enlargement of the size of the sections in the linker file is not a good idea. also, i tried to optimize the code by setting the level equal to 5 but it does not work, too.

    any idea on how to solve this issue?thanks a lot.

    attached my linker file

  • Dear Marcello,
    We will need some additional information please. How is the linker command file that you sent first differ from what you send previously?
    What is the difference between the setup of the section that produces the error and the one that does not. For example, what is the difference between how section GpioDataRegsFile (no error) is setup versus how GpioIntRegsFile (has error).
    Thanks,
    Krishna
  • hello, following my answer:
    1) How is the linker command file that you sent first differ from what you send previously?
    im sorry for the mistake the correct linker file is the second one.
    2) For example, what is the difference between how section GpioDataRegsFile (no error) is setup versus how GpioIntRegsFile (has error)?
    we did not modify the standard configuration that can be found in the software downloadable from the control suite for f28335. i report the details for the 2 sections here:

    #ifdef __cplusplus
    #pragma DATA_SECTION("GpioDataRegsFile")
    #else
    #pragma DATA_SECTION(GpioDataRegs,"GpioDataRegsFile");
    #endif

    volatile struct GPIO_DATA_REGS GpioDataRegs;
    struct GPIO_DATA_REGS {
    union GPADAT_REG GPADAT; // GPIO Data Register (GPIO0 to 31)
    union GPADAT_REG GPASET; // GPIO Data Set Register (GPIO0 to 31)
    union GPADAT_REG GPACLEAR; // GPIO Data Clear Register (GPIO0 to 31)

    union GPCDAT_REG GPCTOGGLE; // GPIO Data Toggle Register (GPIO64 to 95)
    Uint16 rsvd1[8];
    };

    #ifdef __cplusplus
    #pragma DATA_SECTION("GpioIntRegsFile")
    #else
    #pragma DATA_SECTION(GpioIntRegs,"GpioIntRegsFile");
    #endif
    volatile struct GPIO_INT_REGS GpioIntRegs;

    struct GPIO_INT_REGS {
    union GPIOXINT_REG GPIOXINT1SEL; // XINT1 GPIO Input Selection
    union GPIOXINT_REG GPIOXINT2SEL; // XINT2 GPIO Input Selection
    union GPIOXINT_REG GPIOXNMISEL; // XNMI_Xint13 GPIO Input Selection
    union GPIOXINT_REG GPIOXINT3SEL; // XINT3 GPIO Input Selection
    union GPIOXINT_REG GPIOXINT4SEL; // XINT4 GPIO Input Selection

    union GPIOXINT_REG GPIOXINT7SEL; // XINT7 GPIO Input Selection
    union GPADAT_REG GPIOLPMSEL; // Low power modes GP I/O input select
    };

    bets regards

  • Hi Marcello, Have you been able to resolve the issue that you were seeing?  Thanks for letting me know.   Cheers! Krishna

  • hello,

    i found out that my bootloader cannot follow the initial design. In my intention the section 234 and 567 should have stored two relocatables software images but c28x architecture does not allow relocation of the code. i am now using the entire flash memory to store a unique software image which i compile in a standard way.

    best regards.
