首页 > 解决方案 > STM32H743 微控制器 (Cortex-M7) 的链接脚本中是否使用了所有 RAM 部分?

问题描述

我知道最新的 STM32 微控制器中的 RAM 内存包含几个具有显着速度差异的部分。这就是为什么我试图围绕这些设备的链接脚本(注意:arm-none-eabi-gcc工具链)。不幸的是,CubeMX 为 STM32F767ZI 生成的链接描述文件只是忽略了 RAM 中的不同部分:

/* Specify the memory areas */
MEMORY
{
  RAM (xrw)      : ORIGIN = 0x20000000, LENGTH = 512K
  FLASH (rx)      : ORIGIN = 0x8000000, LENGTH = 2048K
}

 
STMicroelectronics 似乎做了一些努力,使其最新的STM32H743ZI的链接脚本更加复杂:

/* Specify the memory areas */
MEMORY
{
  DTCMRAM (xrw)      : ORIGIN = 0x20000000, LENGTH = 128K
  RAM_D1 (xrw)      : ORIGIN = 0x24000000, LENGTH = 512K
  RAM_D2 (xrw)      : ORIGIN = 0x30000000, LENGTH = 288K
  RAM_D3 (xrw)      : ORIGIN = 0x38000000, LENGTH = 64K
  ITCMRAM (xrw)      : ORIGIN = 0x00000000, LENGTH = 64K
  FLASH (rx)      : ORIGIN = 0x8000000, LENGTH = 2048K
}

但是,当我进一步查看链接脚本时,似乎他们将所有内容都塞进了DTCMRAM! 所有其他部分都未使用...

这是完整的链接描述文件:

这是否意味着 RAM 中的所有其他部分仍未使用?他们到底为什么要这样做?


如果您可以改进此链接描述文件(并使其他 RAM 部分有用),请在您的答案中复制粘贴您的改进。我会很感激。还请指定如何在 C 源代码(或 C++ 源代码)中实际决定某些数据在 RAM 中的最终位置。这对我来说还是有点神秘^_^

解决方案


使用gcc,您可以向变量添加节属性。基于此,然后将变量移动到特定会话。

举个例子。假设您有一个大数组:

#define BUF_SIZE 2048

__attribute__ ((section(".buffers"), used))
uint8_t pipe_buffer[BUF_SIZE];

然后将一个部分添加到加载程序脚本并将其分配给特定的内存区域(在本例中为RAM_D3):

.buffers(NOLOAD) : {
    . = ALIGN(4);
    *(.buffers*)
} > RAM_D3

这样,缓冲区最终会出现在RAM_D3中。
