Executing the program in SDRAM

Hello! I'm using stm32f746igt. You can run the program in sdram on this controller and use Chrome Art to display the image on the display.

Is there a question?

Yes, you should be able to use the SDRAM for code, not sure how fast/efficient that will be, the cache will likely mask some of that.

The bigger problem is getting the code loaded into SDRAM, you can direct the linker build code there, but you need startup code that will initialize the clocks, pins, peripheral and memory before you can copy code/data there and transfer control to it.

You could for example build a simple loader that pulls the code out of QSPI and places it in SDRAM

Hello

vitalik180887

,

Please provide more details about your use case.

Why do you want to execute from SDRAM ? Is it because of size of his application ?

To know thatthe QSPI can hold big applications in size and execution from QSPI is fast, thanks to CPU cache in STM32F7.
