Hi Binge, Apologies for the delayed response. Yes, you can place your entire code in to L2 memory based on the memory.Please refer the simple example project attached. By default, functions in the 'Test.c' file mapped in the output section 'L1_data_b_prio2' with in the l1 memory section 'MEM_L1_DATA_B'. If you want to map the whole object file(Test.doj) in different memory section(L2 memory),this can be done by simply adding the following line to an appropriate section in the app.ldf(LDF file ): INPUT_SECTIONS( Test.doj(seg_swco) ) Your LDF should then be roughly of the form: PROCESSOR SC584_CORE_1 { ... l2_sw_code SW { INPUT_SECTION_ALIGN(2) FILL(0x1) // fill gaps in memory with NOPs INPUT_SECTIONS( Test.doj(seg_swco) ) } > MY_L2_CACHED_MEM ... } Any hand-edits you make within the LDF file in a Source Window should be made within the generated $VDSG sections, to preserve them if/when the LDF is automatically regenerated by the tools. Below is an example: /*$VDSG */ /* Text inserted between these $VDSG comments will be preserved */ /*$VDSG If you are encountering problems modifying the LDF to control the placement of your code, it is recommended that you make use of the "#pragma section" and "#pragma default_section" qualifiers. For example, if you are trying to place the code from 'Test_pragma.doj' into MY_L2_CACHED_MEM, you could use the default_section pragma in the global scope of the source to control the placement of data: ===file Test_pragma.c=== /*includes*/ ... #pragma default_section(CODE, "seg_l2_swco") /*the rest of your code*/ ====EOF==== This pragma remains in force for a section category until its next use with that particular category, or the end of the file.
