Hello,

in my RTSC based CCS v4 project I want to use a memory map which is not defined as default in a platform module. Normally, I would write a linker script with a MEMORY and a SECTIONS part and the linker does the rest. But with RTSC, the linker script is generated by the XDC tools. How could I make my own memory map? In the API reference of the XDC tools, there is a module called ti.platforms.evmdm365.Platform which is the hardware platform I'm using. In the "per-instance config parameters" I find some code which could be useful:

var params = new Platform.Params;
params.customMemoryMap = IPlatform.Memory[string] undefined;

But I don't know, how I could use the code. Any help would be great.

Regards.

Since you are working in CCSv4, you have available two different techniques for defining platform instances. If you are using config.bld, you can use a parameter Build.platformTable ( http://www.sanb.design.ti.com/iliad/webhome/xdoc/xdc/bld/Bui ldEnvironment.html#platform.Table) to specify platform instance parameters. The path to your config.bld is entered in C/C++ Build->Tool Settings->Advanced Options->Build configuration file (-b) in your project build properties.

Here is a short guide how to specify platform parameters in config.bld: http://rtsc.eclipse.org/docs-tip/Using_Targets_and_Platforms #Defining_Platform_Instances_via_config.bld

In your case, Build.platformTable entry for your platform would look like this:
Build.platformTable['ti.platforms.evmDM365'] = {
        ...
        customMemoryMap: [
              ["RAM1", {
                  name: "RAM1",
                  base: 0x8000,
                  len: 0x1000,
                  space: "code/data"
              }],
              ["RAM2", {
                  name: "RAM2",
                  base: 0x9000,
                  len: 0x1000,
                  space: "code/data"
              }],
              etc,
          ]
};

In case, you can't use config.bld, there is another way of configuring platform instances described here:
http://rtsc.eclipse.org/docs-tip/Using_Targets_and_Platforms #Defining_Platform_Instances_via_a_RTSC_Module_Configuration _Parameter.
In that case, you would add 'customMemoryMap' specification to a file corresponding to Sim6x.xs in the example in the link.

As mentioned in the docs for customMemoryMap ( http://www.sanb.design.ti.com/iliad/webhome/xdoc/xdc/platfor m/IPlatform.html#custom.Memory.Map), the custom memory map has to fit in the physical memory available on the board.

Also, if you specify a custom memory map for a platform instance, you must specify the parameters 'dataMemory', 'codeMemory' and 'stackMemory'
http://www.sanb.design.ti.com/iliad/webhome/xdoc/xdc/platfor m/IPlatform.html#code.Memory. The purpose of these parameters is to define allocation of standard compiler sections. Since you are effectively deleting default memory object names referred to by these parameters, you have to set new values for them.

Hello,

thank you for your answer! I've tried the way with the config.bld and it worked, but only when my memory map is within the default memory map (as you said). But the default memory map is just base address 0x80000000 and length 0x01000000 which is only a little part of the real physical memory I have on the evmdm365 board. How can I change the default memory settings, so that I can use the whole real memory?

Kind regards


PS: Unfortunately, the links with "www.sanb.design.ti.com" didn't work on my pc.

For what is't worth: the www.sanb... URL is equivalent to

Hi,
If you are using CCSv4 you may want to consider using the platform wizard to generate a RTSC platform package with your custom memory map. You can review this flash demo for getting started with the wizard.

Regards
Amit

Hello,

I watched the flash demo (for xdc tools 3.16) of the platform wizard and I tried to build my own platform. I have done the same things like in the demo, but I can't select a base platform. So I can't create my own platform. Is there anything else I need to consider when I want to use the platform wizard?

Regards.


PS: I work with XDC-tools 3.16.02.32 and CCS 4.1.3

Hi,
Can you elaborate on what you see in the base platform combo box? Is the platform combo box empty or are you unable to select the platform of your choice in the combo box?

Do you see any messages in the Error Log view? You can open this view by navigating to Windows -> Show View ->
Other -> PDE Runtime -> Error Log



Also, which build of CCS4 you are using? You can goto Help->About Code Composer Studio to get the version number of the IDE.

You should be using 4.1.3.00038.

Regards
Amit

Hi,
This is a known problem with the CCS4 build 4.1.3.00034.
You can download 4.1.3.0038 from http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS#4.1.3_. 28July_29.2C_2010.29

I do not think you will need to buy a new license. Please let us know if you face any problems downloading and installing the new image.

Regards
Amit

Hello,

unfortunately I had many problems and it is still not working!

First, I could not update CCS 4.1.3.0034 to 38. The update zip-file did not work (many error messages and the program hangs up during installation). So I deinstalled the old CCS. At the end of the deinstallation the deinstaller hung up. After a reboot CCS seemed to be deinstallated successfully. I installed the new CCS 4.1.3.0038 (this time without problems) and open the platform wizard. Now I could select a base platform and a CPU on page 1 of 2, but when I click on the "Next" button, nothing happens! I can not go to page 2 of 2 in the platform wizard! This is very frustrating!

Regards.

Hello,
Do you see any messages on the top of page 1 of the wizard like Need to specify platform repository location ? Also do you see anything in the Error Log view?

Is it possible to send us a screenshot? This will allow us to pinpoint the problem faster.

Amit

Hi,
I think there is a problem with the DM365 base platform - ti.platforms.evmDM365. Can you use the base platform ti.platforms.evmDM355 instead? The DM365 platform essentially reuses the memory map defined by DM355.

Regards
Amit

Hi,
I have fixed this problem in the platform wizard. Please review https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=329837 for more details.

This fix will be available in XDCtools 3.20.05(ETA - Nov 19,2010) and XDCtools 3.16.06 (in planning).

The workaround in XDCtools 3.16.02 is to use the DM355 platform. Let me know if you face any other problems.


Regards
Amit

Hello,

the problem seemingly occurs only when I want to use the TMS320DM365 as the device. I can use the ti.platforms.evmdm365 as base platform but only with other devices than the DM365.

Thank you for your error search!

Regards.
