Write data into NAND

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138

Hi every one.

I’m working with the LCDK C6748 and I’m trying to use NAND flash in order to write/ read data into the NAND. I saw the NAND example presented in StarterWare and it looks fine. But my program is in the NAND too (I burned the NAND flash using the sfh_OMAP-L138 tool), so my question is, How can I prevent space conflict between NAND-program and NAND-data? Are there a way to find out the size and location of my program?

Any help is welcome.

Thank you in advance

You might know about the boot code size for NAND booting right ?
If suppose, boot code takes ~200KB then NAND flash needs 2 blocks to write (128KiB erase size for NAND) so you can start to read/write the data from block 3 onwards.

0th block -> We won't use
1st & 2nd blocks having boot code.

Hi Titus.
Thanks for your answer, now I have a better idea.
But let me ask you something, where can i look for the entire size of my program?
Thank you in advance

You can check the your executable size by looking the properties option.
