Community,
I'm trying to create a custom BSL for a CC430F5137 with CCS5.2 based on the TI example.
If I compile the project with the EABI format option some of my codesegments are not mapped. Using the legacy COFF options however the codesegments are mapped correct. One of the segments that fails is the BSL reserved memory segment, in my case called BSLSIG (as is called in the example code). Following I list all relevant code snippets:
-----------------------------
BSLSIG : origin = 0x17F0, length = 0x0010 //Within MEMORY part of linker script
-----------------------------
BSLSIG : {} > BSLSIG //Within SECTIONS part of linker script
-----------------------------
in BSL430_Low_Level_Init.asm
.sect "BSLSIG"
.word 0xFFFF
BslProtectVecLoc .word BSL_Protect
PBSLSigLoc .word 03CA5h
SBSLSigLoc .word 0C35Ah
.word 0xFFFF
BslEntryLoc .word BSL_Entry_JMP
PJTAGLOCK_KEY .word 0xFFFF
SJTAGLOCK_KEY .word 0xFFFF
-----------------------------
The resulting .map file entries for BSLSIG look as follows:
COFF:
name origin length used unused attr fill
---------------------- -------- --------- -------- -------- ---- --------
BSLSIG 000017f0 00000010 00000010 00000000 RWIX
EABI:
name origin length used unused attr fill
---------------------- -------- --------- -------- -------- ---- --------
BSLSIG 000017f0 00000010 00000000 00000010 RWIX
BSLSIG is listed in the SECTION ALLOCATION MAP of the .map file for COFF whereas it is not listed in that section for EABI.
TI FAE suggested that this might be a compiler bug. Any other ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you,
Roberto
