Is it possible to initialize external RAM (ERAM) from the JTAG .sof or EPCS .pof file?

Thanks for the sof information (regarding limitations).

I have (i) mapped (thru BSP editor) external memory region + (ii) declaration of global variable and initialisation in C code in eclipse:

const unsigned char __atribute__ ((section ("bitmap.rodata"))) AB_X[2048] = { 0,124,...,0} //data is truncated for discussion purposes

I fully expected that the compiler/linker/HAL + boot loader would take care of the configuration of code/data.

So I was wrong on that front -> are you saying I have to load the data into ERAM myself using whatever means possible?

I could write it to Onchip memory temporarily and memcpy() it to ERAM if I have understood you correctly.

Thanks
