21065L overlay memory

Started by Keld Hammerum Andersen July 26, 2001
Hi guys,

I am trying to use external memory overlays for my 21065L project. I
have used the overlay manager supplied with the ADSP tools and I have
designed my ldf file using the guidelines outlined in the linker manual.
However, I cant get it going! Do any of you have a project that uses
memory overlays? I am very interested in an example ldf file and maybe
some sources files for the project - preferrably asm as well as C files.

Thanks in advance

Hi
The Overlay mansger supplied by AD has a draw back.
This overlay manager initiates a DMA for transfering an overlay from EX. mem to
int. mem. and waits for the DMA completion interrupt in an idle instruction.If
any other interrupt (if you use one in your system) goes off in this period,
overlay manager comes out of the idle indtruction and cause problems.Try
converting this interupt mode into polling mode (ie. monitor DMAC reg. for the
DMA completion rather than waiting for the DMA interrupt.) Hope this helps

cheers
