    Hi Barry,

    Short answer: 8Kbytes

    The bootloader code resides in the ROM of the DSP, but during execution the bootloader uses SARAM31 as scratch memory to temporarily store data. For this reason you cannot use SARAM31 to hold any program code. But once the bootloader completes execution and hands off control to your program, then you can use SARAM31 freely.

    The SARAM31 block is 4Kwords or 8Kbytes long.

    Hope this helps,
    Mark

    Hi Mark

    Thanks for the information. We are currently doing some memory juggling due to running out of memory. I think we have it figured out.
