CCS/PROCESSOR-SDK-AM335X: Custom heap included in binary

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM335X

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi there,

i am working with the mcasp and try to log data from an audio device. Therefor I created a custom Heap (128mb) within the xdc gui of the cfg file in my rtos project. After compiling and building the binary the size of the custom heap is added to the binary file, resulting in a huge bunch of zeroes at the end of application code. Is it possible to define sth. like ".noload" in the cfg file?

I am using the Linearo 4.9.3 compiler and a recent PDK installation. The project derived from the MCASP_DeviceLoopback_evmAM335x_armExampleProject.

A  really anoying workaround is to erase the zeroes from the binary with the use of a hex editor but it slows down my development process...

Thanks in advance for your help,

Jim
