7. Application note on serial (SCI) flash programming: Serial Flash Programming of C2000™ Microcontrollers(sprabv4)
8. Application note on copying entire application from flash to RAM: Copying Compiler Sections from Flash to RAM on the TMS320F28xxx DSCs (spraau8)
Note: In the latest C2000 devices, the on-chip flash memory is tightly integrated to the CPU, allowing code execution directly from flash through 128-bit-wide prefetch reads and a pipeline buffer. Flash performance for sequential code is equal to execution from RAM. Factoring in discontinuities, most applications will run with an efficiency of approximately 80% relative to code executing from RAM. This flash efficiency lets designers realize a 2× improvement in performance when migrating from the previous generation of MCUs. Hence, there is no need to copy the entire application from flash to RAM. We recommend copying only time-critical ISRs and any device/flash configuration routines that need to execute from RAM.
