In my previous articles, I have used the command line on Linux to build and debug NXP MCUXpresso SDK applications. In this article, I’m running code on NXP i.MX RT1064 in RAM or FLASH.

Outline

In this tutorial, I’m going to run code in RAM and FLASH (XiP, eXecute in Place) on the i.MX RT1064. For getting started with the MCUXpresso SDK on Linux, I recommend to have a read at my previous articles:

I’m using the command line on purpose in this article. The MCUXpresso IDE is available on Linux too and is usually a better and easier starting point for development.

I’m using Linux in an Oracle VM (Ubuntu) with the NXP MCUXpresso SDK for the i.MX RT1064 EVK board (see First Steps with the NXP i.MX RT1064-EVK Board).

NXP i.MX RT1064 Board

The board has different memory areas available:

  1. internal ITC SRAM, base address: 0x0000’0000, size 0x2’0000 (128 KByte)
  2. internal DTC SRAM, base address: 0x2000’0000, size 0x2’0000 (128 KByte)
  3. internal OC SRAM, base address: 0x2020’0000, size 0xC’0000 (768 KByte)
  4. internal SPI FLASH: base address: 0x7000’0000, size: 0x40’0000 (4 MByte)
  5. external SDRAM,base address 0x8000’0000, size 0x200’0000 (32 MByte)

There is an extra 64-MByte Hyperflash available on the board, but this requires adding/removing resistors on the backside of the board.

Running From FLASH (XiP)

The i.MX RT does not have FLASH memory integrated with the MCU, as it is the case for most microcontrollers. Instead, it uses a serial (SPI) FLASH memory, which usually is an external memory chip. In the case of the i.MX RT1064, there is a 4-MByte FLASH wired to the device internally. Technically, it is the same as having it externally, except that the needed board space is smaller. Because the CPU does not know about the FLASH, the FLASH need a special header programmed at the start of the memory which is read by the CPU. For this, the following defines need to be turned on:

XIP_EXTERNAL_FLASH=1
XIP_BOOT_HEADER_ENABLE=1


The SPI FLASH memory is not used for data as it usually is used on microcontrollers. Instead, the processor can execute code in it, which is called XiP or ‘eXecute in Place’.

The next thing is the linker file: The following file places that header, code, constants, and vector table into the external FLASH starting at address 0x7000’0000. The Data-Tightly-Coupled (DTC) RAM is used for the heap and stack.

Running From OC (On-Chip) RAM

It is possible to avoid external FLASH by linking things to the different RAM sections of the device. The following linker file runs everything from RAM:

Mixing RAM and FLASH

Running code from RAM has a performance benefit. So, it makes sense to run ‘slower’ parts in normal XiP FLASH and run code in RAM where higher performance is needed.

To place a function into RAM, I add an attribute with the desired section name:

static void __attribute__((section (".ramfunc"))) blinkRAM(void) {
  if (g_pinSet) {
      GPIO_PinWrite(EXAMPLE_LED_GPIO, EXAMPLE_LED_GPIO_PIN, 0U);
      g_pinSet = false;
  } else  {
      GPIO_PinWrite(EXAMPLE_LED_GPIO, EXAMPLE_LED_GPIO_PIN, 1U);
      g_pinSet = true;
  }
}


With this, the function gets copied and placed in RAM. One thing to note is that, depending on the call distance, a veneer function might be used to reach the RAM address where the function is placed. More details on this topic in Execute-Only Code with GNU and gcc, which covers that topic from a different angle.

Summary

It is possible to place code and data either in FLASH or in RAM. All that is needed is the correct linker file for it. The placement is controlled by the linker file, and with using __attribute__ parts of the application can be in FLASH or RAM. If you are not familiar with the GNU linker file syntax, I recommend you start with the MCUXpresso IDE because it provides projects with working linker files.

Happy XiPing!
