hi Using hex utility i want to generate the files which can be written to the "ram" from the coff file . but on giving the following option in the hex utility command file tone.out -a -byte -memwidth 32 -romwidth 32 -order L ROMS { PGM: org =0x00000000,length =0x50000 DATA: org=0x80000000,length =0x100000 } i got the following output on the screen TMS320C6x COFF/Hex Converter Version 4.10 Copyright (c) 1996-2001 Texas Instruments Incorporated Translating tone.out to ASCII-Hex format... "tone.out" ==> vectors "tone.out" ==> .text "tone.out" ==> .const >> WARNING: section .cinit overlaps unconfigured memory at 080000288h (.cinit in complete) can any one tell what is the problem ?. my guess is the cmd file used for generating the out file must be modified Regards Selvaraj.v ______________________________________________________________________ |

1.) I'm not quite sure about this, but I think that it will be a problem that you try to put data from 0x80000000 to your hex file. From my point of view, hex6x generates the image starting from 0, without leaving anything out. So your file will be quite large. 2.) Why are you using hex Files to write your program to RAM? Normally you need that if you want to burn your program to a EEPROM on an external EEPROM-Programmer. 3.) Do you really need the DATA section in your hex File? Does it contain initialized data?, well I think yes - cinit contains initialized global variables 4.) I think you have to modify your compilers-cmd file in a way that all the sections you need in your hex-file are linked to the location where they should be in the .hex image (I use 2 different settings if I compile a .out file I want to load using CCS or I want to burn to my boot-EEPROM). First you have to compile/link an .out file in which all sections are in the place where they should be in the hex file, after that, you can create the .hex file 5.) I would recommend to tell hex6x (in the hex6x-cmd File) each section it should put into the image - for example: SECTIONS { .text .switch .const .cinit .pinit .HWI_TAB } bye, Thomas > hi > > Using hex utility i want to generate the files which can be written to > the "ram" from the coff file . > > but on giving the following option in the hex utility command file > > tone.out > -a > -byte > -memwidth 32 > -romwidth 32 > -order L > > ROMS > { > PGM: org =0x00000000,length =0x50000 > DATA: org=0x80000000,length =0x100000 > } > > i got the following output on the screen > TMS320C6x COFF/Hex Converter Version 4.10 > Copyright (c) 1996-2001 Texas Instruments Incorporated > Translating tone.out to ASCII-Hex format... > "tone.out" ==> vectors > "tone.out" ==> .text > "tone.out" ==> .const > >> WARNING: section .cinit overlaps unconfigured memory at 080000288h > (.cinit in > complete) > > can any one tell what is the problem ?. > > my guess is the cmd file used for generating the out file must be > modified > Regards > Selvaraj.v -- NEU +++ DSL Komplett von GMX +++ http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl GMX DSL-Netzanschluss + Tarif zum supergstigen Komplett-Preis! |
