Hi Johnny:
Thanks for your advice.
Nothing is said in the DSP56303 user's manual about this behaviour.
According to this manual, the highest 2K portion of Pmem (from 0x800 to 0xFFF)
is switched to X and Y data memory.
The test I did consisted of loading the program by means of the ONCE debugger.
The program is about 3K.
After run it, in the first few lines of the program, it sets the MS bit on the
OMR. Then the program memory from 0x400 is completely changed with random
values, according to the data window on the debugger. If I clear the MS bit
again, the memory returns to normal values.
I think the DSP makes a kind of memory re-alocation.
The workaround that I thought (almost same as yours) is to load a code which
only sets the MS bit and after jump again to the ROM bootloader and load the
program as usual.
Best regards,
Pablo Liberman

Hi Pal,
It's strange, I don't think program memory starting from 0x0400 to
0x07FF should be affected if you just set MS(bit 7) after bootload. It should
not happen. Are you sure the P memory starting from 0x0400 to 0x07FF are all
correct before you changing memory configuration? Have you checked that?
The work-around way I can think is to define your P code which is starting from
0x0400 to 0x07FF directly into x/y memory. After bootloader, before run your
final program, run mini-loader to copy code in x/y into p memory.
for example:
org p:$100
mini_loader:
copy x:$400~$7ff to p:$400~$7ff
jsr actual P start address.
org p:$400,x:$400
move x1,y1

Dear folks,
As you know, after a RESET, MS bit in the OMR is 0 by default, so the memory
configuration consist of the following: 4K of program memory (0x0-0xFFF), 2K of
X data and 2K of Y data.
After RESET, I load the program memory by using the bootloader as usual.
After that, my program sets the MS bit (bit 7) in the OMR in order to change the
memory configuration to 2K of program memory (0x0-0x7FF), 3K of data memory X
and 3K of data memory Y.
The problem ocurrs when setting the MS bit. The higher part of program memory
starting from 0x0400 to 0x07FF is changed and therefore, the program is
modified.
How I can avoid this situation?
Thanks in advance
