Started by tjuantiangel May 17, 2004
from lots of pdfs about 5402 of the web of ti,i found that
the bootloader address is from 8000h to ffffh, which make
the total memoty size is 32k,but my flash is 256K*16,my question is
whether my flash wasted?

In the 5402 bootloader is actually mapped to 0xF000 to 0xFEFF, so you
still have external access up to 0xEFFF -- but this is only with
MP/MC=0, if you have MP/MC set to 1 then everything from 0x4000-0xFFFF
is mapped to your external flash.

Also, the 54xx series supports extra pages above 0xFFFF using A16-A19 so
only a small amount of your flash will be unavailable if MP/MC=0

You do have access to all 256k words of the Flash
memory on the 5402 DSK. However you only have access
to one 32k page of the memory at a time. The setting
of M_PG0 to M_PG4 determine what page you have access
to. You set the value of M_PG0-4 by writing to the
DMCTRL register at I/O address 2h. For example, if
they are all cleared to zero, you have access to
sector 0 of the flash at flash addreses 0h to 7FFFh.
If you set M_PG4=0, M_PG3=0, M_PG2=1, M_PG1=1 and
M_PG0=1, that would be page seven and you would have
access to flash sectors 7, 8, 9 and 10. It's all in
CCS -> Help -> TMS3205402 DSK. For bootloading a large
application look at document spra773. -Micah
