I'm on Code Composer V3.3, on a Windows XP machine, using a TMS320C6713 DSP. I just added a new source file to my project, got through the compile and .h issues and the linker reports: [Linking...] "C:\CCStudio_v3.3\C6000\cgtools\bin\cl6x" - @"C6713Compact.lkf" <Linking>>> error: can't allocate .far, size 000c5984 (page 0) in IRAM (avail:0002fe00)>> error: errors in input - ./C6713Compact/ORS11x_Demo_C6713Compact.out notbuilt>> Compilation failureBuild Complete, 3 Errors, 0 Warnings, 0 Remarks. looking up "error: can't allocate .far, size" using the help button, yahoo search, and TI's own website has yielded no insight, so now I turn to those skilled in the Art...

For 6 hours I searched those manuals for simply a definition of IRAM and couldn't even get that answered let alone the proper handling of the error. I did finally get hold of a developer at TI who was able to resolve the issue, and when questioned on what manual I can use to find this out for myself his response was "oh its not in any manual" I challenge you Vlad to point to the manual, and page description of the RESOLUTION to this error. It took me best part of 3 hours just to find the pdf file that had the error message. You have made it quite clear that you yourself can't solve this problem or even recognize some of the most basic elements of this very simple issue. So please, if you can't help answer a question and do something real and productive, go back to your hole and do what consultants do best, charge money to tell people how to do work, but do nothing yourself.

I guess there is some problem in the memory map. See in the .cmd file to which area this is allocated. You can try to change it by going to "option" and then "Memory Map". Try to locate the address and change the attribute. May be it works as it was in my case. Venkatesh

It's a setting that is 7-levels deep in one of the configurations. I'll post the answer in a little while, lets see if anybody has any insight.

I've been doing embedded processor development for 28 years and the DM642 I worked on about a year and a half ago is by far the most complex processor I've ever used. The complex DMA, cache, high level of integration which includes a PCI bus, video ports (which in themselves are complex), I^2C bus, etc., the "VLIW" architecture (I've never before seen a processor that didn't have a stack pointer!) make it so. Our project was also having some very very nasty problems (memory corruption, et al.) which were extremely difficult to debug due to the potenital interaction of all these subsystems and in addition the system processor (running embedded Linux) via the PCI bus. Have fun, and I hope they're paying you well. :) -- % Randy Yates % "Ticket to the moon, flight leaves here today %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % from Satellite 2" %%% 919-577-9882 % 'Ticket To The Moon' %%%% <yates@ieee.org> % *Time*, Electric Light Orchestra http://home.earthlink.net/~yatescr
