using of F035 flash library and freertos together

Dmitry Shapovalov

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HALCOGEN

is it possible, to use f035 flash library together with freertos ?

for now i am trying to switch to the privileged mode and call Flash_Compact_B.

and somewhere inside "setup_state_machine" function, dataEntry interrupt occurs.

    BOOL ret = 0;
    FLASH_STATUS_ST status;
    portBASE_TYPE xRunningPrivileged = prvRaisePrivilege();
    ret = Flash_Compact_B((UINT32*)0x00180000, FLASH_CORE3,FLASH_SECT0,80,(FLASH_ARRAY_ST)0xfff87000,&status);
    portRESET_PRIVILEGE( xRunningPrivileged );

P.S. my cpu in tms570ls20216szwt, halcogen 03.08.01, f035 library v1.09

Dmitry,

Which device are you using?

One point to remember is, you cannot execute and compact/erase/program from the same bank.
You are running FreeRtos, so the Bank0 Sector0 will be accessed by FreeRtos (Exception table)
Based on this statement, you will not be able to use the FLASH API to work on bank0.

Usually, the FLASH API is loaded in RAM and run in RAM to bypass this limitation.

Thanks for the quick reply !

I am using tms570ls20216szwt in my own device. as you can see in my example i am using the last bank (FLASH_CORE3), and additionally, this bank is excluded from "SECTIONS" of linker script. сan I work in this configuration without loading into memory?

Hi Dmitry,

Is this code being executed from RAM or Flash Bank 0?

The setup_state_machine function must be executed from RAM only.

Best Regards,

Siddharth

Hello,

code executes from Flash. where I can get an example of how to execute it from RAM ?

Thanks.

Hello Dmitry,

You can refer to the following post http://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/hercules/f/312/p/62954/227583.aspx#227583

This provides an example linker command file that would put the Flash API in Flash but run it from RAM.

It also provides an example code to copy the Flash API to RAM.

Best Regards,

Siddharth

it seems that this does not work.

here is my linker script.

it seems that the section didn't even get created.

if i print FlashApi_LoadStart,FlashApi_LoadEnd,FlashApi_LoadSize

printf("start: %p\n", (char *)&FlashApi_LoadStart);
printf("run: %p\n", (char *)&FlashApi_RunStart);
printf("size: %i\n", (unsigned int)&FlashApi_LoadSize);

i get

start: 8001d00
run: 8001d00
size: 0

so the load function does not work either...
