Hi,
I have a bootloader, that works pretty decent when I don't use DCSM (Directly included in the project as here: https://www.ti.com/lit/an/spracp8a/spracp8a.pdf?ts=1656879106556)
My DCSM settings look like this:

The bootloader linker script is here:

;//
;// TITLE: Branch for redirecting code execution after boot.
;//
;// For these examples, code_start is the first code that is executed after
;// exiting the boot ROM code.
;//
;// The codestart section in the linker cmd file is used to physically place
;// this code at the correct memory location. This section should be placed
;// at the location the BOOT ROM will re-direct the code to. For example,
;// for boot to FLASH this code will be located at 0x80000.
;//
;// In addition, the example f28002x projects are setup such that the codegen
;// entry point is also set to the codestart label. This is done by linker
;// option -e in the project build options. When the debugger loads the code,
;// it will automatically set the PC to the "entry point" address indicated by
;// the -e linker option. In this case the debugger is simply assigning the PC,
;// it is not the same as a full reset of the device.
;//
;// The compiler may warn that the entry point for the project is other then
;// _c_init00. _c_init00 is the C environment setup and is run before
;// main() is entered. The codestart code will re-direct the execution
;// to _c_init00 and thus there is no worry and this warning can be ignored.

So, how it comes, that the reset does not work anymore? Does DCSM somehow shift all the address and it cannot jump to start?
