AM2431: There is something unclear about TRM "6.2.3.11 R5FSS Boot Options".

?? ??

Part Number: AM2431

Tool/software:

The TRM refers to spruim2g.pdf.

In the TRM "6.2.3.11 R5FSS Boot Options" it says "The second method is to boot from a TCM. To do this, software should take the following steps:".
I don't know what specific operations I should perform on the software side to perform the actions described in the text, so I would like to know.
Also, would you be able to provide a sample?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello,

Please refer the SDK Getting Started which describes the steps for booting the bootloader & running examples. The SDK already implements the necessary steps for running the examples on different cores.

Thank you for your reply.

Could you please tell me the path to the sample in the SDK where I can see the entire process of booting from the TCM in TRM "6.2.3.11 R5FSS Boot Options", or the corresponding source code?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello,

Please evaluate & run any R5F example like Hello World in the SDK to understand how the applications are booted.

You should find that the SDK places the R5F examples vector table in TCM at address 0x0 as described in the TRM.

SECTIONS
{
    .vectors  : {
    } > R5F_VECS   , palign(8) 
    ...

}


MEMORY
{
    R5F_VECS   : ORIGIN = 0x0 , LENGTH = 0x40 
    ...
}
