TMS320F28069: Memory merge method

Part Number: TMS320F28069


Hi,

I am currently merging memory as show below (RAM as well as FLASH). Is this right method to merge memory? Any disadvantages to merge memory on this way.

What we are doing is "increase length of current block, make comment on next block"

MEMORY

PAGE 0 :   /* Program Memory */
           /* Memory (RAM/FLASH/OTP) blocks can be moved to PAGE1 for data allocation */
