Several special requirements exist for running an application from on-chip flash memoryon the TMS320F28xx DSP. These requirements generally do not manifest themselves during development in RAM since the Code Composer Studio™ debugger can mask problems associated with initialized sections and how they are linked to memory. This application report covers the requirements needed to properly configure application software for execution from on-chip flash memory. Requirements for both DSP/BIOS™ and non-DSP/BIOS projects are presented. Some performance considerations and techniques are also discussed. Example code projects are included that run from on-chip flash on the eZdsp™ F2812 and eZdsp F2808 development boards (or alternately, any F2801, F2806, F2808, F2810, F2811, or F2812 DSP board). Code examples that run from internal RAM are also provided for completeness. These code examples provide a starting point for code development, if desired.……
