Hi Nitin, Attached is your "linker.cmd" file, modified to put the strings into P memory. The changes are shown below. In the MEMORY section: .pFlash2 (RX) : ORIGIN = 0x8000, LENGTH = 0x4000 .pConstFlash (RX) : ORIGIN = 0xC000, LENGTH = 0x4000 In the SECTIONS section: #***************************************************************************** .ApplicationConstData : { appconstP.c (.rodata) appconstP.c (.data) } > .pConstFlash #***************************************************************************** This reserves 16K words of P memory, from 0xC000 to 0xFFFF, for constant data in P memory. The file "appconstP.c" shows some examples of the strings we put into P memory. Also please see my message "[motoroladsp] Putting 'const' data into P memory" that was posted to the motoroladsp discussion group on Wed 02/10/02 at 6:35 AM. The ZIP file contains many functions for accessing strings that are located in P memory. I am posting this message to the motoroladsp discussion group, as other members may find this information to be useful.

Hi Art, I am using 56F827 in my project. I have huge constant data and I want to put in Program memory, I don't want to copy it to data memory. I have gone through your mail regarding "Putting 'const' data into P memory" and source code also. According to my knowledge following are the different ways to put data in Program memory. 1. Use #pragma use_rodata on/off to put in the same. 2. Select the settings under M56F8000 i.e. Make Strings Readonly. Apart from this I will have to change in linker.cmd file also. Please find attached source code which I am trying to do so. I want to put Error_Messages in program memory so that whenenver they require I will read them and display an error message. And also while accessing I can read the program memory contents using memreadP16 function. Could you please tell me what sort of changes I should made in the project file so that I can store data directly into Program memory ? Regards, Nitin | |||
