Hi, I am trying to load the entire code to FLASH so that every time a power supply is disconnected, the code can start over. I am using hrpwm and other critical functions, and would like to use the RAM for the execution of various functions. Therefore, a simple option that I would work for me to run the entire code from RAM. Could you please help in resolving this issue and also help me in finding the right reference that I can follow for accomplishing the above?
I have tried compiling the code with option 2 Release, and it throws lot of errors. So I am simply working with option 1 Debug, excluding "2837xD_RAM_lnk_cpu1.cmd" from the build and instead using this file "2837x_FLASH_lnk_cpu1.cmd" for the build. The latter is also copied below.
In the main.c file, I am adding these few lines:
memcpy(&RamfuncsLoadStart, &RamfuncsLoadEnd, &RamfuncsRunStart);
InitFlash();
Outcome: I have not been able to run the code successfully, which is verified by analyzing PWM pins that do not change state. Also, while the computer is still connected to the DSP while flashing, the code goes into this routine
interrupt void ILLEGAL_ISR(void)
{
//
// Insert ISR Code here
//
//
// Next two lines for debug only to halt the processor here
// Remove after inserting ISR Code
//
asm (" ESTOP0");
for(;;);
}
"2837xD_RAM_lnk_cpu1.cmd" File is copied below
