Memory mapping and linker, bin file

Which processor family are you working with and which version of the compiler tools?

You might want to look into the --image option for the hex utility which generates a image by completely filling all the mapped memory ranges. You can use the --fill option with this, but would need to specify a ROMS directive to tell the utility which memory range to generate the image for. More details are in the "Hex Conversion Utility Description" chapter of the Assembly Language Tools Users Guide: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI_Compiler_Information#Compiler_Manuals

AartiG,

this is info we are using

TMS320C6746 processor family

CCS5v 5.2.0.00069

RTSC/XDCtool 3.23.03.53

C/C++ Development tool 8.0.2.201202111925

this is the command i am using in build - steps - post operation "${CG_TOOL_HEX}.exe ../../../Project/DSP_Main/Link.cmd"

post linker file:

../../../Out/ss4_main_9_0.out /* input file */
-b /* ascii format */
--image /* create complete ROM image */
--zero /* reset address origin to 0 */
--memwidth 8 /* 8-bit memory */
--map=../../../Out/abchex.map /* create a hex map file */

ROMS
{
    FLASH: org=0x60000000, len=0x40000, romwidth=8, files={../../../Out/abc.bin}
}

abchex.map file:

********************************************************************************

**** Build Finished ****

generated binary file contains all zeros

It appears that the application is being linked to the 0x11800000 address range. You can check the linker map file to confirm to what address the different sections are getting linked. Then make sure that the ROMS directive in your hex command line completely covers those memory ranges.

So something like:

ROMS
{
    FLASH: org=0x11800000, len=0x80000, .....
}

AartiG,

  DDR2_DATA             c0000000   00500000  00500000  00000000  RW X  0 this section is missing when Out file is converted into Binary file by HEX converter utility.

this is the linker map file

6443.map.txt

this is the Hex command

ROMS
{
    FLASH: org=0x11800000, len=0x40000, romwidth=8, fill=0x0000, files={../../../Out/abc.bin}
}

Your ROMS directive does not include the 0xC0000000 memory range. Please add another memory range within the ROMS directive that starts at 0xC0000000 and covers the entire range for DDR2_DATA and DDR2_CODE. The syntax for specifying multiple ranges within ROMS is shown in the C6000 Assembly Language Tools Users Guide (search for ROMS).

AArtiG,

we kept DDR data and code section in ROMS directory by checking spru186w, but there is no change,

Our dought is how to generate bin file for defined memory configuration, this is the cmd file which  we are using...where as binary file contains zero values..not data is presenting in that.

../../../Out/ss4_main_9_0.out     /* input file */

-b                                 /* ascii format */
--image                         /* create complete ROM image */
--memwidth 8                     /* 8-bit memory */
--map=../../../Out/abchex.map   /* create a hex map file */
ROMS
{
    FLASH: org=0x60000000, len=0x80000, romwidth=8, fill=0x0000, files={../../../Out/abc.bin}
}

Can you attach all the files required for us to reproduce this at our end? Let us start with the .out file, hex command file and linker map file. If we need more files we will let you know. Please zip up these files and attach the zip file here.

6138.Out.rar

Can you try the attached hex command file? The hex6x command line output shows that it converts all the initialized sections.

3301.Link1.zip

actually in that file, for both sections bin file name is same, we made it different then build the project, two files are generated..we need the sections like BOOT_RAM1=0x400, BOOT_RAM2=0xC00, IRAM=0x3F000, DDR2_DATA=0x20000,DDR2_CODE=0x20000..this same as from linker MAP file..jus look at.....how to do that by hex cmd file with unused sections as holes in bin file.

You are correct, I had both ROMS directives set to the same binary file. I changed that to different files and have attached another command file. After converting using this command file, if you look at the corresponding hex map file, you can see all the converted sections as well as the fill of 0x0 between sections, which seems to match up with the link map file. I also verified that the output .bin files match up with the summary shown in the hex map file.

If this is still not exactly what you were looking for, please use this example command file to experiment and modify as needed to suit your needs.

AartiG,

We tried to produce binary file with holes like total IRAM section is 0x40000 from that 0x381c7 bytes of memory is used unused bytes should be hole for total section to produce in binary file. but it is not producing like that 0x1f000 till there binary is generating..so can u tell to us how to produce that....

I'm still not up to speed on everything in this thread, but I am wondering about one thing ...

There is no way to represent a memory hole in a binary file.  That's why you either use image mode, or you use different file names for different memory ranges.  I presume the memory ranges specified in the first post are still being used.  There is a large gap between the end of IRAM and the start of DDR2_DATA.  How do you intend to handle that gap?

Thanks and regards,

-George

George,

This is the memory configuration after some chages finally we are using....

name                  origin           length              used            unused      attr       fill

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BOOT_RAM1     11800000      00000400    00000400   00000000  RW X 0

BOOT_RAM2     11800400      00000C00    00000C00  00000000  RW X 0

IRAM                    11801000      0003F000    0003F000   00000000  RW X 0

DDR2_CODE    C0000000     00020000    00020000   00000000  RW X 0

DDR2_DATA      C0020000     00020000    00020000   00000000  RW X 0

from this actual and expecting binary would be 512KB but where as hex utility generating 226KB, Our requirement is

this binary will be write into first 512KB memory block in the nor flash..according to memory configuration for each section allocated like below mentioned offset of nor flash

0-400 for BOOT_RAM1

400-1000 for BOOT_RAM2

1000-40000 for IRAM

40000-60000 for DDR_CODE

60000-80000 for DDR_DATA

this is the memory map application required.

Please describe how you arrive at that number.  I come up with something very different.  We obviously are not thinking about this the same way.

MSR said:

Keep in mind the hex utility only converts intialized sections such as .text and .cinit.  Uninitialized sections like .bss and .data are not converted, even though they take up space in memory.  That explains at least part of the difference.

Thanks and regards,
