Hello everyone,

Please help me, it's urgent.. I'm doing some experiments in EDK. I designed two microblaze cores connected through FSL links, and I am running the matrix multiplication (parallelized) on both cores.

The problem is, that i want to know how i can put the data (matrix data like A[i][j] ) in the external memory (DDR2 or SRAM)  or in the BRAM of each processor; because i assume that when i write the normal C code in the software application project, it automatically puts everything in the BRAM. Am I right?

Is this done by hardware or software? or both?

Your help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Nadidjka

Hello,

 You change your code and data sections to DDR2 ./SDRAM in linker script file.

Go to Software --> Generate Linker script  there you can find pulldown menu options where we can change our sections, stack of memory to DDR2.

Cheers,

KSR.

Hello KSR,

Thank you so much for your reply.

though all i could find in my linker scripts window is the following :

.text

.rodata

.sdata2

.sbss2

.data

.sdata

.sbss

.bss

Which ones refer to the instructions and which one refers to the data?

Thank you again,

 

Regards,
Nadidjka

Hi Nadidjka,

Have you read the manuals?

You can find the information on these linker sections in "Embedded System Tools Reference Manual" under "GNU Compiler tools".
