Can anyone provide good logic for Stack overflow detection specially for C6x. I came to know the Stack painting logic, in which we will be filling the stack with known data like "0xdeadbeaf" and check at the end of stack area moving towards beginning of stack. But this has its own limitations. I have seen a stack overflow interrupt available in c28x processors.

Hello everybody, I have a doubt about stack in DSP/BIOS tasks. In fact I'm currently using a DM642 based platform and I have these doubts: 1) the stack size of task seems to be limited to about 32 KB. Is this correct? Why is used this threshold? 2) how is allocated the stack? It seems that there is some hole in stack, but I don't know which alignment strategies are adopted by the DSP/BIO...

Hi, trying to run a code developed and running in MSVC on CCS3.1. I use the c64xx CPU Cycle accurate simulator. I use the Call Stack window to track my function calls, but a some point the list of nested calls is replaced by some strange hex number, probably an address. This address is changing as I step further through the code, sometimes its pointing to the stack, sometimes to space o...
