Page 53: Advanced User Information
OCF for on-chip Flash allows download of user code from a host-PC into the internal Flash. Additionally, the re-programmable Flash device on the phyCORE-XAGx allows you to easily update your own code and target the application in which the phyCORE-XAGx has been implemented.
Page 54: Start.src
Because the startup code is modified by macro preprocessor defines it is not necessary to copy the start.src file (located in \lib\src directory) into the project directory. Anyhow it needs to be added to the project files. © PHYTEC Elektronik GmbH 2000 L-481e_1...
Page 55: Linking And Locating
To ensure proper execution of your application it is required that all XDAT segments are located in the external RAM of the phyCORE-XAGx and that all CODE segments are located in the external Flash memory of the phyCORE-XAGx. Exceptions may occur if you use a XA derivative with on-chip portions of XDAT (e.g.
Page 56 QuickStart Instructions The standard configuration of the phyCORE-XAGx is populated with 256 kByte of external RAM and 256 kByte of external Flash. During runtime the RAM will be addressable at 0x0000 to 0x3FFFF. You should always ensure that the size of the segments fits within the available size of the mounted memory devices.
