EDK + Assembly Output Files + External Memory Usage

read the manual of mb-objdump

read the manual of gnu linker or look at some examples that run from ext mem

Hi Kida,

not sure about the first one. For your second question, you can use XPS to customize the linker script: Software -> Generate Linker Script. Alternatively you can code it by hand. The linker script contains what memories all the software sections sit in. You must include your other memories as EDK-compliant peripherals in the system before they will appear in the GLS wizard drop-downs. I hope that can at least point you in the right direction.

For the first one, you can either use mb-objdump/powerpc-eabi-objdump command in Xilinx shell to dump the ELf to ASM, or use the GDB GUI to see the ASM code.

Can GDB source level debugger work if the application is downloaded to the external SRAM? I tried but although it showed the source files but once I let it run, the program seems hang up!
