fill option using command file and Gel options

Hi,

I want to fill the memory with ESOP0 and check for code crash scenario.

  1. To fill SRAM i am using gel option in code composer (Using Gel->Initialize memory map->Fill_F28335_RAM_with_ESOP0).
  2. To fill FLASH i am using 'fill' option in linker command. Ex: FLASHG      : origin = 0x308000, length = 0x008000, fill=0x7625. I am able to fill the Flash uing 'fill' option under Page 0 and it is compiling properly.
  3. The same way I am able to use 'fill' option for RAM under page 0, but the same i am not able to fill RAM under page 1. Its giving error as shown in below snapshot.

SRAM (RAML4, RAML5, RAML6 and RAML7) under Page 1 (with ERROR)

SRAM (RAML0, RAML1, RAML2 and RAML3) under Page 1 (with NO ERROR)

Simillarly i want to fill other places (Other than RAM and FLASH) like ZONE0, ZONE6, ZONE7A under Page 0. I tried similar to filling Flash under page 0. It compiled, but at that memory i am not able to find 0x7625, still its showing 0xFFFF. Please let me know how to fill at other locations other than RAM and FLASH.

Thanks & Regards

Vishnu

 

 

 

 

 

  • Hi,

    Please respond to this mail. If this is not the right forum, please move to appropriate forum.

    Also please let me know how to move the query from one fourm to other forum.

    Thanks & Regards

  • I cannot see your snapshots. Can you try to sent them again, or place the snapshots in a pdf and attach this file.

    Thanks

     

  • Hi,

    Please find the snapshots.

    • Through GEL script (Using Gel->Initialize memory map->Fill_F28335_RAM_with_ESOP0) I could able to fill RAM with ESTOP0. Below is the snap shot.

     

    • Similarly i tried to fill the FLASHH under PAGE 0 with ESTOP0. This is also working fine. Below is the snapshot.  

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    • Even the same is working for RAML0 with Pop-up window saying "Warning: Because this program contains initialized RAM data it may run successfully under Code cComposer Studio but not as a standalone system".

     

    • But for ZONE6 under PAGE0 there is not error, (but a pop-up window with above warning). Still I am not finding any ESTOP0 code at ZONE6 location.

     

     

    • Now using same 'fill' option, if i try to fill FLASHB underPAGE1 I am getting several errors. This is applicable even to RAML4, RAML5, RAML6, RAML7 and ZONEB. Below is the snapshot

    error: errors encountered during linking; "./Debug/rtl_test.out" not built

    • But for RAMM0 and RAMM1 under PAGE1 its giving a different error as shown below.

    "error: placement fails for object "$fill000""

     

    Please let me know why, when i try to fill the ESTOP0 code unde PAGE1, only causing this problem. Also please find the command file. (Rename .txt to .cmd)

        Notes: 
              Memory blocks on F28335 are uniform (ie same
              physical memory) in both PAGE 0 and PAGE 1.  
              That is the same memory region should not be
              defined for both PAGE 0 and PAGE 1.
              Doing so will result in corruption of program 
              and/or data. 
              
              L0/L1/L2 and L3 memory blocks are mirrored - that is
              they can be accessed in high memory or low memory.
              For simplicity only one instance is used in this
              linker file. 
              
              Contiguous SARAM memory blocks can be combined 
              if required to create a larger memory block.
