Switch Description
The -si-revision {#|none|any} switch provides a silicon revision
of the specified processor.
The switch parameter represents a silicon revision of the processor specified
by the -proc processor switch. The parameter takes one of three
forms:
The none value indicates that the VisualDSP++ ignores silicon
errata.
The # value indicates one or more decimal digits, followed by
a point, followed by one or two decimal digits. Examples of
revisions are: 0.0; 1.12; 23.1. Revision 0.1 is distinct from
and “lower” than revision 0.10. The digits to the left of the
point specify the chip tapeout number; the digits to the right
of the point identify the metal mask revision number. The
number to the right of the point cannot exceed decimal 255.
The any value indicates that VisualDSP++ produces an output
file that can be run at any silicon revision.
The switch generates either a warning about any potential anomalous
conditions �or an error if any anomalous conditions occur.
In the absence of the switch parameter (a valid revision
value)—-si-revision alone or with an invalid value—
the loader utility generates an error.
-t# (Host boot only) Specifies timeout cycles; for example, -t100. Limits
the number of cycles that the processor spends initializing external
memory with zeros. Valid timeout values (#) range from 3 to 32765
cycles; 32765 is the default. The # is directly related to the number of
cycles the processor locks the bus for boot-loading, instructing the processor
to lock the bus for no more than two times the timeout number
of cycles. When working with a fast host that cannot tolerate being
locked out of the bus, use a relatively small timeout value.
-use32bitTagsfor
ExternalMemory-
Blocks
Directs the loader utility to treat the external memory sections as 32-bit
sections, as specified in the .ldf file and does not pack them into
48-bit sections before processing. This option is useful if the external
memory sections are packed by the linker and do not need the loader
utility to pack them again.
