How to access external memory on MPC5554

Hello! I am currently working on running some basic algorithms on an MPC5554 but I am having trouble figuring out how to make use of the external SRAM. For now, all my algorithms only run on internal memory.

If you are using PeMicro debugger (that is part of CodeWarrior) it work as is, because initialization script

mpc5500_vle.mac

mpc5500_booke.mac

has already initialized EBI.

CodeWarrior stationery also has EBI initialization code in file MPC5554_HWInit.c. AT default only internal flash calls that initialization.

Also you have to modify the code at the beginning of the file from NO_EXTERNAL_MEMORY to MPC5554DEMO_AXM_0321:

/* Used board */

//#define INIT_USED_BOARD NO_EXTERNAL_MEMORY

#define INIT_USED_BOARD MPC5554DEMO_AXM_0321

And check SRAM_SEL jumper whether you selected the right chip select.

SRAM is mapped from address 0x2000_0000.

Let me know if further assistance is needed.
