Advisory Memory: Prefetching Beyond Valid Memory
It is mentioned in Flash – The prefetch queue is 16 x16 words in depth.
But in Table 3-1. Memories Impacted by Advisory - Flash (0x000B FFF8–0x000B FFFF) is of 8 word depth.
Please clarify.
Tarun,
This means that in your linker .cmd file that for the flash memory you should exclude addresses 0xBFFF8-0xBFFFF(in flash sector 13) from the allocation if the section is used for program code. There is no such restriction if the memory is used for data storage.
In any example that uses the flash for program code storage we have taken care of the above in our .cmd files in C2000Ware examples
I've C/P the 2838x_FLASH_lnk_cpu1.cmd to show this below(in dir path C:\ti\c2000\C2000Ware_3_04_00_00\device_support\f2838x\common\cmd):
