*.appli file with librarian

s_kalop — Mon, 12 Nov 2012 13:33:40 GMT

Hello.

I have two projects for msc8156 in CW 10.2.1: simple library project and StarCore project using that library. Library has some large array of data which i want to place in DDR with help of *.appli file. I wrote this appli file for project, not a library, built both, but this fails and large array was placed in M2. So i wrote appli for library project, built it, than built main project without *.appli and array was successfully placed in DDR. I don't understand how it can be. I suppose that library project do not use linker and using *.appli file makes sense only for "application" project type. What is my fault? Thanks.

Hello

In fact when you place an object in a user defined section inside of a .appli file, the assignment is performed at compilation time.

So if you intend to place a variable into DDR, you need to associate the .appli file to the project which is generating the library.

The section where the variable is allocated is stored in the.eln file generated by the compiler.
