4.1 How to Modify Memory Map for RTOS Firmwares

MCU R5F, MAIN R5Fs, C66x, C7x run FreeRTOS in the default SDK. Memory map for these FreeRTOS firmwares can be altered using Linker Command files in the SDK. See an example linker command file here along with the include files here and here. Note, after altering the memory map, always do an application clean build.

Changes made from linker command files get reflected in the generated map files (*.map). Map files can be located in the generated binary folder of the build environment. On a Linux system, you can run “readelf –l” on the elf image to generate a map file view as well.

Note, all system shared memories should be used such that the different cores do not corrupt each others memory space. It is recommended to create a system memory map design in a spreadsheet or similar tool and see if there are overlaps.
