Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

In c6678,SYS/BIOS ,in .cfg file , set a heap,name is HEAP_CACHE, when i build the project ,appear the following warning:

warning #10247-D: creating output section "HEAP_CACHE" without a SECTIONS

how can i solve this question?

the following is the cfg file of my project :

If this is a custom section you have set up in your .cfg file, then you can allocate it to a memory region in a custom linker command file, and add the linker .cmd file to the project. Please see this page for more information: http://rtsc.eclipse.org/docs-tip/Memory_Management#User_Defined_Linker_Command_Files
