Hi,
It is the SRAM (Framebuffer) area of the processor. It is internal
memory only.
I suspect the contents of it are getting overwritten by TI's internal
primary bootloader.
But, even it overwrites the contents to a certain range of addresses of
SRAM, the remaining
contents in SRAM should not get zeroed. Is my assumption correct ?
I do not understand how the contents of the SRAM is getting zeroed.
Thx in advans,
Karthik Balaguru

Is the static RAM external? If so, have you put a scope on the
Read/~Write line? Is there a master clear line to the memory?

Would it be the C startup code cleared the "zero initialize" region,
which included your SRAM?

Thx for the info. But, Gel file comes into picture, only if i debug
using CCS (Code Composer Studio).
But, here my SRAM gets cleared in realtime scenario. (Without any debug
environment that uses CCS).
Does TI OMAP 5912 have something else that takes control after reset
and clears the SRAM ?
Share your views/ideas regarding this.
Is there anything internally in OMAP 5912 that handles the request
before passing the interrupt to the IVT and branching to the
corresponding location ?
Does TI OMAP 5912 have something else that takes control after reset
and clears the SRAM ?

Hi,
My SRAM ranges from 20000000 to 2003E7FF (250Kbytes) in OMAP 5912 .I
have some data stored in it by my application, so that it can be used
by my application when it gets loaded after reset .
But, When i reset my OMAP 5912 processor by configuring the ARM_RSTCT1
to 0x08,(Global reset ) i find that SRAM gets cleared.
But, 0x08 actually implies Reseting of DSP, MPU and Peripherals only
.(No relation with SRAM contents ) .So, how could by SRAM get cleared ?
I find that in the Boot ROM code , MPU peripherals are enabled by
configuring ARM_RSTCT2 to 0x0001.
In the bootloader code i have,
ARM_RSTCT2 = 0x0001; //MPU peripherals are enabled here.
ARM_RSTCT1 = 0x004; //Priority registers and EMIF can be programmed
ARM_RSTCT1 = 0x006; //ReleaseDSPFromReset here.
I do not find anything that could cause the SRAM contents to be cleared
either in Boot ROM, Bootloader or Application.
But, how does my SRAM contents get cleared ?
Kindly share your views/ideas regarding this .
