How can I specify the program entry point?

The project I am working with is is configured with XDS and has a config file containing:

I can't find where "APP_CACHED_DATA_BLK2_MEM" is defined.

In other projects, I can set this in the linker.cmd file.

Hi David,

First, please confirm you are using XDC, not XDS.

Next, please identify the device you are programming as the XDC

Thank you,

Yes, the project uses XDC tools.

The device is a C6748 LCDK.

Thanks.

Hello David,

Sorry for the late response, but TI has stopped supporting XDC (TI-RTOS) based SW development for C6748, as announced here. Please check the following resources:

Thanks Jianzhong.

Which DSP's are currently in long term support?

Also, is TI-RTOS a deprecated framework?

I gather it is different from the SDK-linux environment, but I'm not sure about that.

Hello David,

The announcement I provided above gives a few alternatives to OMAP-L13x/C674x.

Yes, that is correct. To solve your entry point problem, you can try one of the following methods:

search from the SYS/BIOS resources I provide earlier and find the solution,
build a baremetal program without using SYS/BIOS, and you'll be able to use your own linker.cmd. Please refer to this FAQ which is written for AM335x but the principles apply to C674x.

Jianzhong
