RE: [motoroladsp] Re: DSP56F827: Flash to RAM copy - Compiler Overflow
w/o Error?
As a point of reference, is this a "compiler
error" or a linker error? I would hope this is a linker error,
in that the linker command file used truly defines the limits of memory, and
that those limits are not being respected!!! Since the target could be for
external RAM (or flash), and not internal flash, the "compiler" should
build object code that is greater than the internal space. However, when
the link/locate process runs, the specified target boundaries should be
respected, and an error issued.
I hope the linker.cmd file is correct for the target that the
image is to be loaded into!!!
Jerry.

Compiler
Overflow w/o Error?
Hi Boaz,
Yes this is a problem in CodeWarrior. It does not flag
any memory
overruns. The problem is still in version 5.1 and I
have not seen
any indication that it has been fixed in version 6.0.
I had
contacted tech support about this problem a while
back. Maybe
someone from Metrowerks can confirm whether or not this is
fixed or
will be fixed.
Pete
