DSP/BIOS sections/objects

During program compilation, DSP/BIOS produces both

uninitialized and initialized blocks of data and code. These blocks

get allocated into memory as required by the conﬁguration of your

system. On the DSP/BIOS sections list you ﬁnd both initialized

(sections that contain data or executable code) and uninitialized

(sections that reserve space in mem ory) se ctions.

Description

Provides a brie f explanation of the conte nts of the selected

DSP/BIOS sections list entry.

Placement

Shows where the selected DSP/BIOS sections/objects list e ntry

is allocated in memory. You change the memory allocation by

selecting a differ en t location from the Placement list. The list

contains the memory segments available on C6000 processors and

changes based on the processor you are using.

DSP/BIOS Object Placement

Distinct from the entries on the DSP/BIOS sections list,

DSP/BIOS objects like STS or LOG, if your project uses them, get

placed in the memory segment you select from the DSP/BIOS

Object Placement list. All DSP/BIOS objects use the same

memory segment. You cannot select the location for individual

objects.

Data object placement

Specify where to place new data objects in memory.

Code object placement

Specify where to place new code objects in memory.

Default stack size (bytes)

DSP/BIOS uses a stack to save and restore variables and CPU

context during thread preemption for task threads. This option

sets the siz e of the D SP/BIOS stack in bytes allocated for each

task. 4096 bytes is the default value. You can set any size up to
