Hi,
I have a few questions, but first some background.
Background:
I'm working with a board that has a DM365 connected to a DDR2 chip with a 8-bit databus. The datasheet seems to show that the DDR controller only supports 16-bit data bus memory chips, and this should have been caught before the board was built, but it wasn't. I am trying to still use this board, but it looks like putting Linux on it is impossible, so I'm trying to switch to a no-OS solution.
Questions:
0) Am I wrong to think that I can't put Linux on this chip with the 8-bit DDR data bus?
1) Is it possible to load code using CCSv6 (e.g. NANDWriter.out) into the chip's internal SRAM, instead of the DDR? I've played a bit with the linker file for this project with no luck.
2) At the end of the day, I'll want to capture video and encode it. With my current set-up, I would only have access to every other byte of DDR (i.e. the lower byte of every 16-bit word). Is it possible to store the encoded data on this memory chip, with this constraint?
About me:
This is my first time working with an DM365 (or any ARM9-based SoC), my usual chips are Cortex-M3's and M4's.
Many Thanks,
Anthony
