Hello everyone,
I'm trying to initialize a simple "Hello world" baremetal program using emWin library from the SDK.
As required by emWin, I've defined two buffers in external SDRAM memory using the __BSS macro as follow:
__BSS(RAM) static uint32_t gui_buf[1024 * 8]; // -> Used by emWIN for GUI allocation
__BSS(RAM1) uint8_t fb_buf[480 * 272 * 3]; // -> frame buffer allocation for 24bit color operation
When I call GUI_Init() function, the hardfault exception triggers.I've seen that there's an example designed for IAR, and something that i'm wondering. In this example, buffers for emWIN and the FB are defined as follows:
AT_NONCACHEABLE_SECTION_ALIGN(uint8_t s_gui_memory[GUI_NUMBYTES * LCD_BYTES_PER_PIXEL], FRAME_BUFFER_ALIGN);
AT_NONCACHEABLE_SECTION_ALIGN(uint8_t s_vram_buffer[VRAM_SIZE * GUI_BUFFERS * LCD_BYTES_PER_PIXEL], FRAME_BUFFER_ALIGN);
Why do these buffers need to be 64 byte aligned? Why do these buffer need a non cacheable section?
How could configure the MPU regions to allocate these buffers?
Thanks in advance
