I am using MPC5606S controller and code warrior IDE 5.90.
I am trying to relocated my code in a separate section mycode_flash. Memory modification is as follows:
/***********************Linker file ********************************/
MEMORY
{
boot_flash: org = 0x00000000, len = 0x00010000
interrupts_flash: org = 0x00010000, len = 0x00010000
internal_flash: org = 0x00020000, len = 0x00010000
mycode_flash: org = 0x00021000, len = 0x00010000
internal_ram: org = 0x40000000, len = 0x00007C00
stack_ram: org = 0x40007C00, len = 0x0400
}
Then I created a new section .mycode and mapped it to mycode_flash as below.
SECTIONS
{
.boot LOAD (0x00000000) : {} > boot_flash /* LOAD (0x0) prevents relocation by ROM copy during startup */
GROUP : { /* Note: _e_ prefix enables load after END of that specified section */
.ivor_branch_table (VLECODE) LOAD (ADDR(interrupts_flash)) : {}
.intc_hw_branch_table (VLECODE) LOAD (_e_ivor_branch_table) ALIGN (0x800) : {}
.ivor_handlers (VLECODE) LOAD (_e_intc_hw_branch_table) : {} /* Each MPC555x handler require 16B alignmt */
} > interrupts_flash
GROUP : {
.intc_sw_isr_vector_table ALIGN (2048) : {} /* For INTC in SW Vector Mode */
.text_vle (VLECODE) : {
*(.text)
*(.text_vle)
*(.fini)
*(.eini)
}
.init : {}
.init_vle (VLECODE) : {
*(.init)
*(.init_vle)
}
.ctors : {}
.dtors : {}
.rodata (CONST) : {
*(.rdata)
*(.rodata)
}
.sdata2 : {}
extab : {}
extabindex : {}
} > internal_flash
GROUP : {
.mycode (VLECODE) LOAD (0x00021000) ALIGN (0x1000) : {
*(.mycode)
}
} > mycode_flash
GROUP : {
.data (DATA) : {}
.sdata (DATA) : {}
.sbss (BSS) : {}
.bss (BSS) : {}
.PPC.EMB.sdata0 : {}
.PPC.EMB.sbss0 : {}
} > internal_ram
}
/***********************************************************************************/
Then I have called a function fun () from main and the description of fun is given below.
#pragma section RW ".mycode" code_mode=far_abs
__declspec(section ".mycode") extern int8_t fun(int8_t a);
int8_t fun(int8_t a)
{
a=0;
a=a+1;
return a;
}
MAP file has correct mapping as follows
Memory map:
Starting Size File ROM RAM Buffer S-Record
address Offset Address Address Line
.mycode 00021000 0000000c 00001000 00021000 00021000 87
.mycode section layout
Starting Virtual File
address Size address offset
---------------------------------

00000000 00000c 00021000 00001000 2 fun main.o
/***************************************************************************************************/
- But after loading the code to eval board, the code is breaking and going to an unknown location. By taking Disassemble of main I could find function fun is starting from address "00000000".

- I am not getting correct value in variable 'a' during debugging as the code is
- Did I make any mistake in linker file ? if so can someone please guide me to solve this issue.
