CCS Version 5.1.0.07001 systemHeap always in L2RAM

Ensure that you have your heap configured correctly instead of relying on default value (if you are).  Heap Size Configuration is a great thread explaining how to configure the default heap.  The lines in your .cfg file you care about most are the following:

BIOS.heapSize                 = 0x300000; // change size to your specific requirements
BIOS.heapSection              = "systemHeap";
Program.sectMap["systemHeap"] = "DDR2";   // change "DDR2" to whatever MEMORY section you have defined in your platform definition (or in your linker command file if you use one)

As for the  "could not be resolved" error, that is just coming from the Code Analysis plug-in.  It got broken in M7 (I posted a thread about it), and TI's stance is that they are not going to support it, so you need to go disable those checks.  In Eclipse, go to Window-->Preferences-->C/C++-->Code Analysis settings and disable the entire "Syntax and Semantic Errors" section.  (If you use Log_info/print/etc() functions, you should also disable the "Suggested parenthesis..." check as well unless you don't mind the warnings.)  Note that your project may be overriding these global workspace settings, so verify it's the same in your project's properties as well.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your response, it's very useful, but why is not possible in this version to change parameters from the graphical windows that appears when you press twice to the SRIO_test.cfg file in the project manager?
I did it in previous versions without problems.

Thanks.

You should be able to do it in the XGCONF tool like you want.  Plug in the values, save, and then switch to the "Source" tab and verify.  You should be able to find the lines I cited above.  The only thing I am not 100% sure about is if it will allow you to specify the MEMORY region to place the section in, and that is the root of your problem.  I suspect that without explicitly and manually updating the .cfg file, the xdctool will just default to just placing it in your platform's data section.

I'm old-school when it comes to my applications, so I rarely use XGCONF and, instead, manually create and update my configuration and linker command files in a text editor.  Given that you prefer to use the GUI, I will step back and let someone else more experienced with XGCONF help you out.

Hi,

1.-  I have no problem to try with editor, but I suppose that in some cases CCS will create a new cfg file during the project build,

and in this case CCS will overwrite my changes in the cfg file. I'm right?

2- Another question, you wrote 'disable the entire "Syntax and Semantic Errors" section' , it means that additional errors in that will be desabled with

this option are unnecessaries?
