CCS: XDC Migration , understand impact of hack

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi ,

I have migrated xdc_tools from 3.16 to 3.25 . Reason for migration is ,

custom section xdc.meta generated is not interpretable by latest linaro toolchan (6.2) , however a found a link https://e2e.ti.com/support/embedded/tirtos/f/355/t/158999 ,


which tells importance of xdc.meta section in CCS ROV . on Migrating to 3.25 that issue got resolved , however it still generates xdc.meta with additional flags . currently

section looks as below,

SECTIONS {

xdc.meta (COPY) : {KEEP(*(xdc.meta))} > DDR

}

Problems are,

1) I don't get Memory Region defined for DDR .

2) Even if define a memory region for DDR , I get linker error .

So I have done hack I have removed redirection to particular memory section (DDR) by changing xdc scripts , so now my section looks as below .

xdc.meta (COPY) : {KEEP(*(xdc.meta))}

I wanted to know wt is impact of this hack , after this does still CCS ROV be able to get .xdc.meta section data ?
