Hi,
I am using TMS320F28379D 176 pin controller. I want to load my code in flash. But I want to execute some function from RAM. So at power up I need to copy that functions from FLASH to RAM. Please find attached file for the reference of .cmd file I am using. I have added attributes to the functions which needed to be execute from RAM. e.g.
#pragma CODE_SECTION(Read_EEPROM, ".TI.ramfuncs")
void Read_EEPROM(uint16_t,uint8_t *,uint8_t);
//=========== .cmd File ================//

When I am using this function in while its execution time is almost same as executed from FLASH.
It should give faster response. I have observed it on clock pin of I2C. I2C is executed using GPIO.
Let me know what I am missing to copy this function to RAM?
Thanks,
Dhaval
Hi Dhaval,
Please have a look at similar E2E- (+) TMS320F28377D: How to copy to RAM from Flash - C2000 microcontrollers forum - C2000

Thanks
