CCS/TMS570LS3137: .OUT file questions

Part Number: TMS570LS3137
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5529

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I understand concept of MICRO CONTROLLERS MSP430F5529 and various others like micro controllers from SILICON LABS  , RENESAS and Microchip etc 

For ARM based MICROPROCESSOR used in embedded system with external DDR RAM how is the system different from an MICRO CONTROLLER  based embedded system .

Can some expertise help me understand why the .out file is 6 MB while the internal FLASH of TMS570LS3130 is 3MB

While compiling CCS project in debug mode where will the .out file be downloaded to the hardware is it downloaded to the DDR RAM ? why should that be downloaded to DDR RAM and not the internal FLASH and executed from FLASH .
