TMS570LC4357-EP: How to start the off-chip program, the program is placed in the SDRAM mounted on the FPGA

Part Number: TMS570LC4357-EP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS570LC4357

Hi Team,

My customer wants to use the EMIF communication method to allow TMS570LC4357 to communicate with the FPGA. The MCU application program is placed on the off-chip SDRAM mounted on the FPGA. After the MCU is powered on, it directly runs the application program in the SDRAM (FPGA). How should it be done?

My customer checked the information, and he thinks that the CMD file can be modified to define the starting address of the application. Is this address the address of SDRAM?

After he enables the EMIF bus in the bootloader, what else needs to be done?

MEMORY
