6678 Use mcoreloder to load .out file to cores

Hi Using EVM6678 I have followed the instruction in http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/BIOS_MCSDK_2.0_User_Guide#Example_2_-_Building_and_running_your_first_tasking_application_using_MCSDK_and_BIOS and build a simple project to blink led and using jtag it tun properly on core 1, but when i configure swithes to boot from NAND and use mcoreloader to load led_playbios.out file to core1 there is the following error: / # mcoreloader 1 /var/local/led_playbios.out ELF: ELF ELF file header entry point: c013dc0 << D L O A D >> ERROR: Failed to set target memory for segment. << D L O A D >> ERROR: Failed to allocate target memory for static executable. Failed to load file /var/local/led_playbios.out on core 1 what is the problem with my work? I use led_playbios.out directly from the output of build procedure in CCS, is it correct? is it any conversion needed to convert this .out file to .xe66> thanks

    Hi

    Using EVM6678 I have followed the instruction in http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/BIOS_MCSDK_2.0_User_Guide#Example_2_-_Building_and_running_your_first_tasking_application_using_MCSDK_and_BIOS

    and build a simple project to blink led and using jtag it tun properly on core 1, but when i configure swithes to boot from NAND and use mcoreloader to load led_playbios.out file to core1 there is the following error:

    / # mcoreloader 1 /var/local/led_playbios.out                                   
    ELF: ELF                                                                        
    ELF file header entry point: c013dc0

    << D L O A D >> ERROR: Failed to allocate target memory for static executable.  
    Failed to load file /var/local/led_playbios.out on core 1

    what is the problem with my work?

    I use led_playbios.out directly from the output of build procedure in CCS,  is it correct? is it any conversion needed to convert this .out file to .xe66>

    thanks

    Hi, Dido,

    Sorry, I was out for a few days and also working on some other stuffs.

    By looking at the logs, I think you may have a conflict on the memory location. Please see the linux-c6x Release Notes, the following memory partitions are used and I believe the ELF entry point of 0x0c013dc0 stepped on area reserved for Syslink shared region.

    Memory partition information

    On C6670 and C6678, Linux NetCP driver uses a part of the MSMC memory. Similarly SysLink uses DDR and MSMC memory for Shared Region. Here are the memory range used...

    User    memory   Range
======================
NetCP   MSMC     0x0C000000-0x0C003000
SysLink MSMC     0x0C008000-0x0C0F8000 (For SharedRegion 0)
Linux   DDR      0x80000000-0x8FFFFFFF (Managed by Linux on core 0, assumes mem=256M on command line)
SysLink DDR      0X9FC00000-0x9FFFFFFF (For SharedRegion 1 and User specified SharedRegion)

    Hi Rex

    I found the problem, It was because the project hase been created from an empty RTOS project.

    I created a new SYS/BIOS project and paste codes for blinking LEDs, and the result .out file successfully loaded using mcoreloader.

    I attached the full project in this post hopefully be useful for others.

    thans a lot,

    Dido
