Ext Memory access without EDMA

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to access external memory without using EDMA. I would like to pass a buffer pointer located in external memory to a function call without configuring EDMA. The DSP i am using is C6713. I would configure whole L2 as SRAM (256K) i.e., no L2 cache.

Any comment will be appreciated.

Thanks

No Problem - it is 'just memory'. You can pass pointers or branch to and
from external memory.
If you run without L2 cache you will incur some speed penalty.
