Hello Forum members,

I am trying to implement a Function On RAM But i did not find any thing on st Refrences.

I found this example in freescale but spcstudio can not compile the code . __declspec(section ''.text_in_ram'') static void EnterStandbyFromSRAM(void) {     /* Switch off the IRC fast */        ME.STANDBY0.B.IRCON = 0;         /* keep flashes power off in DRUN */        ME.DRUN.B.DFLAON = 0b01;     ME.DRUN.B.CFLAON = 0b01;         /* configure fast wakeup from backup SRAM */     RGM.STDBY.R = 0x0080;         ME.MCTL.R = 0xD0005AF0; /* Enter STANDBY0 Mode & Key */     ME.MCTL.R = 0xD000A50F; /* Enter STANDBY0 Mode & Inverted Key */         /* it is recommended to poll S_MTRANS after requesting */     /* STOP, HALT or STANDBY modes */     while(1 == ME.GS.B.S_MTRANS)     {            } } Thanks Best Regards Nazerian Vanima

Hello Vanima ,

first declare your section attribute :

__attribute__ ((section (

''.codeinram''

)))

void

function_in_ram()
{
.....
}

update your application.ld :

.codeinram : ONLY_IF_RO
{
KEEP(*(.codeinram))
} > ram
/* before heap_base *§
 __heap_base__ = __bss_end__;
 __heap_end__ = __ram_end__;

In my case , the function is well in RAM. Best regards Erwan

Hi Erwan

I have Some Problems with using the code : 1.Compiling the code is very slow and when the compile is finish the out.bin file size is 1GB !!! 2.when the program want to run the function break detect in program. I attach my code and appliction.ld for you , if there is any thing wrong Please let me know about this .

Posted on October 06, 2015 at 11:10 Hello Vanima , Ok i have understood the issue the image file is 1GB because objcopy will create some stubs between small adresses and 0x40 X. it is the debugger work. you should relocate your code in flash in application.ld to prevent from huge binary files. Could you try this ? Add :

.data : AT(__romdata_start__)
{
. = ALIGN(4);
__data_start__ = .;
*(.codeinram)
*(.data)
*(.data.*)
*(.gnu.linkonce.d.*)
__sdata_start__ = . + 0x8000;
*(.sdata)
*(.sdata.*)
*(.gnu.linkonce.s.*)
__data_end__ = .;
} > ram

Remove :

.codeinram : ONLY_IF_RO
{
KEEP(*(.codeinram))
} > ram

your code stays valid.
