Other Parts Discussed in Thread: C2000WARE
Tool/software:
I developed a firmware for SCI communication on a TI TMDSCNCD28335 prototype board. If I used the RAM linker file and debug with CCS, it worked fine. If I used the flash linker file without turning on the --ramfunc option on CCS when compiling, the firmware seemed working as well since I can establish UART communication between the board and my PC. However, whenever I turned on the --ramfunc option, the firmware stopped working. Even turning off the --ramfunc option, but adding the attribute ramfunc to any function in the firmware, the firmware stopped working. What would causing this problem?
Here is the code for my linker file. Thanks in advance for helping.
