ROM-RAM copying

Hi everybody,
 
I am working with a coldfire MCF5235.
I have two questions concerning ROM-RAM copying :
 
1/ I am using the rom-ram copying with the lcf file. This works great. See below my linker file:
 
# Sample Linker Command File for CodeWarrior for ColdFire
MEMORY
{
 user   (RX)  : ORIGIN = 0x00000500, LENGTH = 0x0
 sdram  (RWX) : ORIGIN = 0x00000000, LENGTH = 0x0
 vector_ram (RWX) : ORIGIN = 0x00000000, LENGTH = 0x0
 sram  (RWX) : ORIGIN = 0x20000000, LENGTH = 0x0
 ext_sram (RWX) : ORIGIN = 0x30000000, LENGTH = 0x0
 ipsbar  (RWX) : ORIGIN = 0x40000000, LENGTH = 0x0
 ext_flash (RWX) : ORIGIN = 0xFF800000, LENGTH = 0x0
}
 
SECTIONS
{
 .sdram  : {} > sdram
 .vector_ram : {} > vector_ram
 .ipsbar  : {} > ipsbar
 .sram  : {
 
  . = ALIGN(0x10); #align next section on 16-byte boundary.
            *(.fec_data)
  . = ALIGN(0x10);
   
        } > sram    #places the section contents at the beginning of the
       #memory segment "sram"
 .ext_sram : {} > ext_sram
 
 .boot_flash :
 {
  vectors.s  (.text)
  mcf523x_lo.s (.text)
  hwinit.c  (.text)  
  C_4i_CF_StdABI_Runtime_Sodimas.a (.text)
  .= ALIGN(0x4);
 } > ext_flash
 
 __end_of_text = .;
                                                                                                      
 ___DATA_ROM  = __end_of_text;
  
 ___DATA_RAM  = ADDR(user);
 

 .sys_sram : AT(___DATA_ROM)
 {
  .= ALIGN(0x4);
   *(.text)
  *(.rodata)
  .= ALIGN(0x4);
  __START_DATA = .;
  *(.data)
  __END_DATA = .;
  __START_SDATA = .;
  *(.sdata)
  __END_SDATA = .;
  
  __SDA_BASE = .;
  .= ALIGN(0x4); 
 } > user

 
 .uninitialized_data :
 {
  __START_SBSS = .;
  *(.sbss)
  *(SCOMMON)
  __END_SBSS = .;
  __START_BSS = .;
  *(.bss)
  *(COMMON)
  __END_BSS = .; 
  . = ALIGN (0x4);
  ___HEAP_START = .;
  ___HEAP_END  = ___HEAP_START + 0x10000;
  ___SP_END  = ___HEAP_END;
  ___SP_INIT  = ___SP_END + 0x1000;
  .    = ALIGN(0x4);
 } >> user
 
 _romp_at = ___DATA_ROM + SIZEOF(.sys_sram);
 .romp : AT(_romp_at)
 {
  __S_romp = _romp_at;
  WRITEW(___DATA_ROM);
  WRITEW(ADDR(.sys_sram));
  WRITEW(SIZEOF(.sys_sram));
  WRITEW(0);
  WRITEW(0);
  WRITEW(0);
 }
 
 ___IPSBAR  = ADDR(.ipsbar);
 ___VECTOR_RAM  = ADDR(.vector_ram);
 ___SDRAM  = ADDR(.sdram);
 ___SDRAM_SIZE  = 0x01000000;
 ___SRAM   = ADDR(.sram);
 ___SRAM_SIZE  = 0x00010000;
 ___EXT_SRAM  = ADDR(.ext_sram);
 ___EXT_SRAM_SIZE = 0x00080000;
 ___EXT_FLASH  = ADDR(.boot_flash);
 ___EXT_FLASH_SIZE = 0x00800000;
 ___heap_addr   = ___HEAP_START;
 ___heap_size   = 0x10000;
 __SP_INIT   = ___SP_INIT; 
 
}
 
 
 
My question is to know when is done the copy of the section "user" from ram to rom. Is it done after the execution of the section boot flash?
 
 
2/ My second question is to know if it is possible to have a conditionnal ROM RAM copying.
 I would like to specify in the lcf file wether I copy  to ramone flash zone or another.
 
Typically :
 
if (flag)
copy the flash zone A to RAM
else
copy the flash zone B to RAM
 
  
Thanks

Hello
 
1- The copy of the data from ROM to RAM is performed by the startup code.
    Basically the startup code is doing the following:
       - Disable interrupts 
       - Initialize stack pointer and diverse registers
       - Initialize hardware
       - Initialize section bss & sbss to 0
       - Copy data from ROM to RAM
       - call main
 
    You can look at the code of the startup function in
       {Install}\E68K_Support\Runtime\Runtime_68K\Runtime_ColdFire\(Source)\E68k_startup.c
 
2- There is no way to add conditional code in the linker control file.
     The linker file syntax does not provide support for conditional blocks.

Thank you for your quick answer crazy cat! But I still don't catch everything!
 
1/ I thought the startup code was in mcf523x_lo.s, see below :
 
/********************************************************************
 * This is the main entry point upon hard reset.
 */
asm_startmeup:
_asm_startmeup:
 
 move.w #0x2700,sr
 /* Initialize IPSBAR */
 move.l #(___IPSBAR + 1),d0
 move.l d0,0x40000000
 
 /* Initialize RAMBAR1: locate SRAM and validate it */
 move.l #(___SRAM + 0x21),d0
    .long   0x4e7b0C05      /* movec d0,RAMBAR1 */
 /* Point Stack Pointer into SRAM temporarily */
 move.l #(___SRAM + 0x10000),sp
 /* Initialize mcf523x periphs, etc */
 jsr  mcf523x_init
 /* Relocate Stack Pointer */
 move.l #___SP_INIT,sp
 /* Jump to the main process */
 /* jmp  _main */
  jmp     start
 
 bra  .
 nop
 nop
/* halt */
 
What is executed first? mcf523x_lo.s or E68k_startup.c?
 
 
2/ So for you, if I want to do my conditionnal ROM-RAM copying, I have to modify E68k_startup.c and recompile it.
 
Thanks again

Hello,

"asm_startmeup" is executed first and "jmp start" jump to E68k_startup code.
 
I think you have to define different lcf file and target for each configuration you want.
 
I Hope this helps..

Bye

1/ Thank you Arev for you help on boot sequence.

 

2/ Defining several  lcf and several targets is useless for me. I ‘am in the following configuration :

 

FLASH MEMORY :

Boot zone

Zone A

Zone B

 

I want to boot on the boot zone and then (considering a flag in the flash) either copy to RAM zone A or zone B. Then I want to boot in RAM.

 

Thanks
