FLASH_write

Description

Writes data to the Flash address (locator) from a source address (src).

 

This function is limited by the page length of the Flash memory.

 

Note: This function does not affect unspecified segments of Flash. For

 

example, altering the lower half of a page of Flash memory does not

 

change the value of the upper half page.

 

C6711 DSK

 

- Locator contains 32-bit address of Flash location

 

-FLASH_START_ADDR is 0x9000000

 

- Flash address range: 0x90000000 to 0x90020000

 

- FLASH_PAGE_SIZE = 0x80: 128 bytes

 

- Page number range: 0 to 1023

 

-FLASH_PAGE_ADDR(x) = FLASH_START_ADDR +

 

x*FLASH_PAGE_SIZE )

 

- If the source address begins in the middle of a page, the write will

 

invalidate all other data on the page.

Example

To write from writeBuffer to pages 1 and 2:

 

char writeBuffer[FLASH_PAGE_SIZE*2];

 

FLASH_write((Uint32)writeBuffer,

 

FLASH_PAGE_ADDR(1),

 

FLASH_PAGE_SIZE * 2);

The use of VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) technology allows the execution of multiple operations in a single instruction cycle, further maximizing performance.

The TMS320C6000 family utilizes high-speed memory architectures, including a sophisticated cache system that minimizes memory access delays. Built-in hardware accelerators for specific functions, such as fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) and filter algorithms, streamline processing tasks that are critical in real-time applications. The DSPs also support a range of data formats, enabling them to handle diverse data types efficiently.

An important aspect of the TMS320C6000 series is its scalability. The family includes a wide range of devices, from low-power processors suitable for portable equipment to high-performance models designed for demanding computation tasks. This scalability ensures that developers can select the appropriate DSP for their specific application requirements.

In terms of power efficiency, the TMS320C6000 processors are designed to deliver high performance with optimized power consumption. This makes them ideal for battery-operated devices where power management is a critical concern. Additionally, TI's software tools, such as Code Composer Studio, provide developers with an integrated development environment that simplifies the design process and enhances productivity.

Lastly, the extensive support for various communication interfaces, including PCI, USB, and Ethernet, allows for seamless integration into existing systems. With a rich ecosystem of hardware and software support, the TMS320C6000 series remains a popular choice for engineers seeking powerful and versatile DSP solutions in modern electronic design.
