hello,
sorry. prev message got sent out accidentally.
I have another doubt. In mlt_arm_xscale_grg_rom.ldi file should i update the RAM Origin also in the MEMORY section
MEMORY
{
ram: ORIGIN=0x51000000, LENGTH=0x2000000
rom: ORIGIN=0x51000000, LENGTH=0x40000
}
And in mlt_arm_xscale_grg_ram.ldi should this be like this..?
MEMORY
{
ram: ORIGIN=0x51000000, LENGTH=0x2000000
}
Is this ok.?
Thanks
Vanitha
