OM13092 Relocating Data at Board_SDRAM Problem

fatihozen — Mon, 19 Mar 2018 12:22:43 GMT

Hi,

I have LPCXpresso54608 evaluation board ( OM13092 ). I use Mcuxpresso Ide and sdk examples. I chose one of sdk examples and wanted to relocate all data in external sdram. I added pin_mux.c settings to use sdram and used a function to init sdram in main function ( BOARD_InitSDRAM() ). Then, I built and released project.

I got a linker script file ( driver_examples_emc_emc_sdram_Release.ld ) at the location

"\MCUXpressoIDE_10.1.1_606\workspace\driver_examples_emc_emc_sdram\Release".

Opened it and arranged little bit and activated it from Project menu. Project>Properties>C/C++ Build>Settings>Tool Settings>MCU Linker>Managed Linker Script. Deactivated Manage linker scripts and selected my own linker script and its path.

I know almost nothing about linker scripts file so I might(definitely did) make a mistake. and then I see datas and others files located in Board_Sdram. But I could not press 'Resume Debug Session' button because it was unvisible. I pressed button 'Terminate All debug Sessions' and I got a new error window I made a mistake somewhere and I am asking where I might make a mistake ?

What did I do in Release.ld file? Here it is.( just deleted all 'SRAM_0_1_2_3' texts and wrote 'BOARD_SDRAM' instead.)

Hi fatih ozen,

Thank you for your interest in NXP Semiconductor products and

the opportunity to serve you.

To provide the fastest possible support, I want to point you to refer to the section 11.7 Modifying the generated linker script/ memory layout in the attachment.

Have a great day,

TIC
