I got the following error message after loading the binary to one DSP core. I am new to TI multicore DSP. What is the possible cause?

It's trying to execute code out of a reserved space (0x075b5200) this is where your Exception occurred, it's a reserved space and when the CorePac tried to access (fetch) it it could not and thus through the Fetch Exception.

Looking at the register dump A6 is 0x075b5201, your code probably tried to do a B A6, wherever it was from. Which was probably at the memory location where B3 is pointing (that's used as the return pointer.)

My guess is that A6 is an uninitialized variable, or that it's been corrupted (i.e. was a fixed pointer stored near the end of stack and you had a stack overflow for example.)

Hi Chad

I had also face with many the exceptions. Could you tell me where can I find the registers represent information? For example, what's the registers A1~A31 mean?

And where can I find the exceptions' description?

Thank you~

The registers that are dumped are defined in the C66x CPU and Instruction set Reference Guide. Which can be found on the product page.

Best Regards,

Chad
