Hi,

I am able to import a demo project with below .projectspec file

<projectSpec>
  <project
        name="led_ex1_blinky_rtos"
        device="TMS320F28379D"

  </project>
</projectSpec>

But when I try to build it I get the below error

But if I change the Build Configuration to CPU_FLASH, I am able to build and run the code

Question 1: I would like to know what are the changes that need to be made in the RAM cmd file to accommodate FreeRTOS

Question 2: What is the difference between RAM and FLASH builds?

Question 2.a: Isn't RAM a volatile memory? Can it be used for loading code even in production phase or is it only for debugging?

Regards,

Rashmitha

    Hi,

    For RAM configuration to build, you can merge multiple RAM regions like RAMLS0- RAMLS4 etc to create a single region which can be allocated to text section. PFB the snippet from linker cmd file for reference.

    RAMLS0_7         : origin = 0x008000, length = 0x004000 // size=
   /*
   RAMLS0           : origin = 0x008000, length = 0x000800
   RAMLS1           : origin = 0x008800, length = 0x000800
   RAMLS2           : origin = 0x009000, length = 0x000800
   RAMLS3           : origin = 0x009800, length = 0x000800
   RAMLS4           : origin = 0x00A000, length = 0x000800
   RAMLS5           : origin = 0x00A800, length = 0x000800
   RAMLS6           : origin = 0x00B000, length = 0x000800
   RAMLS7           : origin = 0x00B800, length = 0x000800
   */
   
   RAMDxGSx           : origin = 0x00C000, length = 0x0010FF8
   /*
   RAMD0            : origin = 0x00C000, length = 0x000800
   RAMD1            : origin = 0x00C800, length = 0x000800
   RAMGS0           : origin = 0x00D000, length = 0x001000
   RAMGS1           : origin = 0x00E000, length = 0x001000
   RAMGS2           : origin = 0x00F000, length = 0x001000
   RAMGS3           : origin = 0x010000, length = 0x001000
   RAMGS4           : origin = 0x011000, length = 0x001000
   RAMGS5           : origin = 0x012000, length = 0x001000
   RAMGS6           : origin = 0x013000, length = 0x001000
   RAMGS7           : origin = 0x014000, length = 0x001000
   RAMGS8           : origin = 0x015000, length = 0x001000
   RAMGS9           : origin = 0x016000, length = 0x001000
   RAMGS10          : origin = 0x017000, length = 0x001000
   RAMGS11          : origin = 0x018000, length = 0x001000
   RAMGS12          : origin = 0x019000, length = 0x001000
   RAMGS13          : origin = 0x01A000, length = 0x001000
   RAMGS14          : origin = 0x01B000, length = 0x001000
   RAMGS15          : origin = 0x01C000, length = 0x000FF8

    RAM build uses only RAM memory regions for different sections of the application while Flash build uses Flash memory for sections like text, const etc and RAM memory for sections like data, bss etc.

    Rashmitha Ramesh Nair said:
    Question 2.a: Isn't RAM a volatile memory? Can it be used for loading code even in production phase or is it only for debugging?

    Yes. Usually Flash configuration only would be used in production. Certain code sections like ISR which needs be fast can be loaded into flash but run from RAM in production code.

    Thank you so much Vasudha, I was able to build successfully and run it on the launchpad!
