TMS320F28379D: Can a CMD file be NOLOAD?

Ed Sanders

Part Number: TMS320F28379D

Greetings,

I am working with two projects. Project 1 contains data which is used by Project 2. Each project has its own cmd file. To put the data in the correct location in Flash, I have created a third cmd file which has the appropriate MEMORY and SECTION statements. This command file is included into the main cmd file for both projects. This builds just fine, but as you would expect, Project 2 thinks the data is part of itself. Is there a way to make the third cmd file NOLOAD only for Project 2?

Thank you,

Ed,

I have not used conditional NOLOAD myself, but I was thinking you should be able to do something like below in third linker command file

#if defined(SYMBOL_DEFINED_IN_PROJECT2)
   my_section      : > RAMLS5, PAGE = 1, TYPE = NOLOAD
#else
   my_section      : > RAMLS5, PAGE = 1
#endif

Hi Santosh,

I tried that just before your reply, and it works well. I was hoping that there was a way to do it from a file level.

Thank you,
