Sharc processor will it support this .Dxe file

Goodmorning to everybody
 
   I have written one assembly program in Visual dsp ver 3(simulator)
by that i got .dxe  file. i can able to dump this .dxe file into sharc
processr board.

    my doubt is Sharc processor will it support this .Dxe file.If not
give me the suggestion.
 thanking u.

Sharcs don't use DXE files directly.  If you have a JTAG emulator, it 
can load a DXE into a sharc.  If you're using a commercial DSP board, it 
should have a downloader that can read the DXE and correctly write it to 
the Sharc's memory space.  If you designed the board yourself, you'll 
need to write a downloader.

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

The DXE file is not Sharc executable code. Instead, it is used by
VisualDSP to simulate (or emulate via JTAG) your code.

If your board is connected to a PC running VisualDSP via JTAG
interface, then the DXE file is all you need (you specify this in the
VisualDSP project options tab as "DSP executable file").

However, if you have to put the code into a FLASH or EPROM and load it
into the DSP at boot time, you need to create a "DSP loader file" type
project. This generates the memory image which you can use to program
the memory. It also adds the loader header to your code which handles
the program data moving from external to internal memory at boot time.

You can also generate a pure DSP memory image, segment by segment,
using the splitter utility (or by specifying a "DSP splitter file"
project). This generates the same type of output file like the
"loader" type project, but without the additional loader code. This is
good when you have an external host which boots the DSP.

For details on the file types you can also consult the VisualDSP
manual.

Prabakaran:
There is an option in Visual DSP to indicate whether you want a .dxe or .ldr
created. The .dxe is the actual RAM image (the executable file), and the
.ldr is designed for boot loading from ROM. So, the answer to your question
depends on your hardware/downloading setup.

You can also use the ADI-supplied elfloader.exe to marry the code in the 
DXE to that in a boot loader and create a file suitable for burning to 
EPROM or Flash.
