MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM243X: Map file analyzis

Fabian Sorkalla

Hello,

currently we are trying to optimize our memory layout and therefore need to dig deep into the map file.

In the text file itself this is very tedious and I have looked up some options to make this a little bit more "fun" with a GUI based alternative.

I found this open source project https://github.com/govind-mukundan/MapViewer but sadly it is not working with the provided mapfile from arm-clang-ti compiler

I also enabled "mapfile_contents=all" but did not change anything.

I think this tool is not compatible with the clang-map-file since it only supports gcc.

Do you know some alternatives to analyze map files or is there even a build in feature in CCS?

Thanks

Fabian

Hi Fabian

Were you aware of the CCS Tools for memory allocation view?

Got to View --> Memory Allocation in CCS.

You can get a view of all the sections in your map file and their size. you can clock in the drop downs to see its components as well

Is this what you are looking for?

Hi Sri,

I was not aware of that this already helps a little bit.

I tried it and looks good so far.

Is there a way to search or filter?

Hi Fabian

The drop down has few options:

But there isnt any search button here.

Filter option is present in the view.

Thanks & Regards
