There are two folders in the 'source/C2000' directory of installed easyDSP.

'BitField' folder : Bitfield based easyDSP source files.
'DriverLib' folder : DriverLib(C2000 Peripheral Driver Library) based easyDSP source files
please refer to the TI link for further understanding of BitField/DriverLib. You can use only one out of two methods.
Also check below which method is supported for which MCU.

	Bitfield	DriverLib
F28001x  F28002x  F28003x  F28004x  F2807x  F2837x  F2838x  F28P55x  F28P65x	O	O
C2834x F2823x F2833x F281x F280x F28044 F2802x0 F2802x F2803x F2805x F2806x	O

Debugging model option

easyDSP supports below two debugging model options, --symdebug:dwarf  and --symdebug:coff. Note that the latest TI C2000 compiler (version 16 or above) doesn't support--symdebug:coff option. Accordingly further support for this option will be very limited. Recommend to use  --symdebug:dwarf  option from now.

 

Endianness option

Only little endian is supported by easyDSP. Please set endianness like below.

Section alignment when using Flashrom of Gen3 MCU

easyDSP uses TI's flash API to access onchip flashrom. TI flash API of Gen.3 MCU (ex. F2807x, F28002x, F28003x, F28004x, F2837x, F2838x) requires section alignment on the address (min. 64bit boundary or recommended 128bit boundary) depending on MCU. That is, the start address of the section should be either 0x*0, 0x*4, 0x*8 or 0x*C for C2000 core and either 0x*0 or 0x*8 for Arm Cortex-M4 (ex, F2838x CM). As shown below linker command file example from TI, it is already applied as recommended value for default sections like .text but you need to do it yourself for your own section. easyDSP displays error message if the section is not aligned properly.

Linker option

It is recommended the entry point is set to the 'code_start' label (in TI's DSP28x_CodeStartBranch.asm with watch-dog disabled). This is done by linker option -e in the project build options, that is,-ecode_start. It prevents unintentional watch dog reset during c_int00 operation which could happen in long size program where it takes long time to initialize many variables.
