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

​Hi JohnT,

Have programmed the ECPS64 with the .pof file generated and there is still no initialization of the external RAM. I tried using Convert Programming Files... option and including the SOF page and the HEX file of the external memory space that I want but it reported the following information box: "Data in Hex File overlaps between data blocks at address 10 and address 0" .When you then select "Generate" to generate the .pof file it says there is no input file. The next attempt I setup the compiler to generate a .pof file for the EPCS64 config device and the resultant file when programmed still doesn't have the external RAM that I have configured with the same values as in the initialization of my constant . Looking at the build tools progress: (I) A .hex file of the external RAM is never created, (ii) as stated previously the objdump file knows about my variable and memory space (iii) When I enable the alt_load() feature in the BSP editor, it doesn't copy the data I want to external memory from the .text region.

Can I attach an archive of the project to perhaps help you to better understand my problem space?

thanks,

A
