AWRL6432: Question about memory map

Part Number: AWRL6432

Hi,

1. I found below info in TRM memory map section. 

1. In our mmw demo,  APP_HWA_RAM 0x60000000~0x6007FFFF(512k) is used. And didn't find code to configure HWA_PD_MEM_SHARE_REG. Is the device in Usage 3 in table 2-2 by default?

2. In TRM , I also found APP_CPU_SHARED_RAM info below. But in our demo, the address range 0x00480000~0x004BFFFF (256k) is not used. If user reconfigue HWA_PD_MEM_SHARE_REG to Usage 1, user can use address range 0x00480000~0x004BFFFF(APP_CPU_SHARED_RAM), right?

3. M4F accessing memory in APP_CPU_SHARED_RAM is faster than memory in APP_HWA_RAM, right?

Thanks,

Chris

In the demo, APP_HWA_RAM 0x60000000~0x6007FFFF(512k) is used.

I think there should be some HW overlap between APP_CPU_SHARED_RAM and APP_HWA_RAM. Is there any memory access speed difference for M4F to these two different address ranges?

  • Hi Chris,

    1. Yes, this is the default memory configuration for the demo.

    2. Yes, if configuring for usage 1, then the user can use address range 0x00480000~0x004BFFFF

    3. Yes, there is a latency incurred when accessing the HWA memory from the APPSS.

    You can find more details in the 'Shared Memory Usage' example in SDK 5.4. You can find the documentation below.

    Thanks,
