DSP/BIOS memory map

Ideally I'd like to convert my generic project to SYS/BIOS if that is possible but I'd be happy to create a fresh project as well as long as I can get a different memory map setup.

Hi Robert,

I didn't found a tutorial on how to this in CCS 5, but it's quiet similar to CCSV 4. And based on the TI's tutorial you can do it like this:

File -> New -> Other or type Ctrl + N

Then choose RTSC -> New RTSC Platform

You can also do that  while you're in the Debug perspective in the Tools menu:

Tools -> RTSC Tools -> Platform ->New

Click Next and you will see the window like this

Choose the Package Name, the Platform Repository and Device Family and Name, in this case it's 6678.

In the second window I suggest that you import the default platform

Customize the new platform as you want.

When you create a new CCS project or if you edit a project that already exists go to the RTSC configuration tab and in 'Product and Repositories' click' Add'

Choose 'Select repository from file-system' it should be in somewhere like this:

C:\ti\xdctools_3_23_04_60\packages\myBoard, depending where your XDC tools directory is

When you click OK and go back to the RTSC configuration you see it in 'Other Repositories' and can choose it in the 'Platform' below

Click OK and go on with your project normally.

Hope this is what you're looking for.

Regards

Thanks.  That does indeed work.  In addition I was also trying to replace the entire memory map and it doesn't seem to like that.  I had to remove all but L2SRAM.  I then moved the location and changed the size as well as rename all my cmd file regions to L2SRAM.  Trying to replace it with the naming convention in place was getting weird results.  The old sections kept returning and my new section was somehow moved to external memory.  Now I just need to figure out how to set the boot section.  The compiler is ignoring my boot section directive now that I've added the cfg file to my project.

boot { -lrts*.lib<boot.obj>(.text) } > 0x10800000 

now gets me a warning of - "No matching section"

It also keeps my DSP from booting properly so this must be an important warning.  The boot section is no longer starting at my base address and all the sections have been reordered.

Specifically I think the problem is my entry point symbol is moved to an offset that is not the base of my memory region. 

boot { -lrts*.lib<boot.obj>(.text) } > 0x10800000 is no longer recognized and my entry point is randomly placed.  Anyone know how to specify the entry point when migrating a normal project to sys/bios?
