Problem with DSP_MEM bean.

[jeypi]

Hello,

I am working with MC56F8346 and PE. Code Warrior version is 5.6.1.1658. I put the DSP_MEM bean in my project and configured it. But when I try to call a function like:

pBuffer = MEM1_memCalloc(10, sizeof(UWord16));

the compiler shows the error:

Link Error   : Undefined : "FmemNumEMpartitions"
Referenced from "FmemMalloc" in mem.c

I searched "FmemNumEMpartitions" in mem.c and didn't find anything. Did anybody already solve this problem?

Thanks,

João Paulo.

Hello,

The example helped a lot. The problem was some missing parts of linker file (.cmd). Now the application is running correctly. But another doubt: do you know how I can write or allocate memory in a specific address. For example, if I want to allocate an array in a external ram memory, in the address 0x002001, how can I do it?

Thanks a lot,

João Paulo.

Hi,

See below extract of the manual.

Specifying Variable Addresses in C

The user can tell the compiler to specify the address of a variable in a C file using the :

operator. The constant value following the : operator is the word address of the global

variable (i.e., int OneReg : 0xBCD ; specifies that the global variable OneReg

resides at word address 0xBCD).

NOTE

The Linker does not reserve space for global variables declared with the :

operator.

Hello,

I used the operator : but i didn't work. The variable OneReg was allocated at memory address 0x0000 (RAM memory). Is there something wrong with the code?

int OneReg : 0xBCD

Thanks,

João Paulo.
