LAUNCHXL-F2800157: Flash Assertion after porting code

Hi,

I ported some code from an STM32 project (that not contain any STM32 specific-code in it) to C2000 for the TMS320F2800157 MCU. Once I fixed all the errors and the ran the code, however, it was failing the assert on the ASSERT(Flash_isECCBaseValid(eccBase)); check which runs before my ported code runs. Any reason for this? Is this assertion supposed to signal something else wrong with my ported code that wouldn't be caught by the compiler? If I comment out the initialization of the code I ported in main, then the assertion passes. 

Thanks.
