I am working on an F28379D using driverlib. I am only interested in using CPU1. I have run into an issue of the ".text." section not fitting into the memory allocated by the linker command file. The areas of RAM allocated for text, namely RAMLS0, RAMLS1, RAMLS2, RAMLS3, RAMLS4 and RAMD0 are all showing 100% usage under the memory allocation tool. However, the RAM sections RAMGS0 through RAMGS15 are showing 0% usage.
Question 1 - Since most of the "GS" sections don't appear to be used for anything, can I simply append them to the .text allocation to allow text to fill up those blocks too? The first five appear to be used by the SDFM filter module.
Question 2 - If the "GS" sections can be used in this way, why are they not used by default? Are they set aside for CPU2 to use? This is the bit that worries me slightly as I don't want to expand into them if I'm going to break something!
Question 3 - I can't seem to find the term RAMLS0 etc in either the Assembler of Compiler reference manuals. Is there a document anywhere that would help me to understand why the memory is broken up the way it is?
Thanks very much for your advice.
