Hi everyone, I am developing a real time program with my DSK6711. IRAM is not large enough to locate all my code and data. Therefore I have to make use of SDRAM, which is much slower than IRAM. Can anyone give me some advice about improving performance using SDRAM? Should I configure my IRAM as 4-way cache and store all my data and code in SDRAM? Thank you, Miguel |

Place all code & large data buffers in SDRAM. Make sure: 1- you activate caching 2- Turn on the MAR bits corresponding to your memory configuration. 3- make sure the EMF is correctly configured for the SDRAM (see SDK provided examples) 3- Read up on how to best use cache by optimum placement of data within your SDRAM. 4- use the internal SRAM space for things like HPI or serial port buffers. /Khalid |
