Controlling linker sections with DSP/Bios 6

Mark Rae

I am working with CCS4 and DSP/Bios 6 on a ‘C6747,

How do I get more control of where sections are placed in the Linker.

The XDC Platform allow you to select the memory location for Code, Data, Stack.

The way the individual sections are grouped in Code, Data, Stack does not meet my needs.

How do I assign a memory block to individual sections like .bss, .cinit, .text, .const, etc.

Thanks

Start with Wizard described here:

Then you can assign sections in BIOS .cfg file as mentioned in Appendix C of Bios_User_Guide.pdf:

Program.sectMap["myHeap"] =Program.platform.dataMemory;

Thanks for the reply,

Program.sectMap[".text"] = "SDRAM1"; does the trick
