Hi,

As I understand the code overlay option is supported for DSP compiler. Is this option supported for ARM compiler (Eg: TMS470 4.5.1 or 4.6.1)

Thanks and Regards,

Are you referring to the linker support for copy tables that make it easy to manage overlays at runtime? If so, yes, the ARM code generations tools do support it. Please take a look at Section 7.8 of the ARM Assembly Language Tools Users Guide. Another good reference on this topic is the application note "Advanced Linker Techniques for Convenient and Efficient Memory Usage".
