LoggerSM alignement

Hello all,

(target C6678, CCSv6 1.40, SYSBIOS 6.40, UIA 2.0.1.34)

I recall that the LoggerSM buffer must aligned on a 4096 bytes boundary.

My understanding is that when I create it statically in the CFG, it is automatically taken care of by this :

/*
 *  ======== module$static$init ========
 */
function module$static$init(mod, params)
{
    /* Assign the default filtering levels based on the configuration. */
    mod.level1 = params.level1Mask;
    mod.level2 = params.level2Mask;
    mod.level3 = params.level3Mask;
    mod.sharedObj = null;
    mod.sharedBuffer.length = params.sharedMemorySize;
    mod.serial = 0;
    mod.partitionId = params.partitionId;
    mod.enabled = true;
    /* Need 4KB alignment */
    Memory.staticPlace(mod.sharedBuffer, 4096, params.bufSection);
}

Now my question are :

1) If I create the buffer dynamically (runtime) with LoggerSM_setSharedMemory, I should do the alignement myself, right ?

2) How do I do that ? (the section is created in the CFG) the start address of the section should be a multiple of 0x1000 ?

3) what are the consequences if I don't ? why is this restriction in place ? Does it really matter on a non-mixed architecture (i.e. not the evmTI816x family)?

Regards,

Clement
