7.1.5 Important Notes

Important points to keep in mind, while developing Flash Plug-in.

  1. While developing Flash Plug-in, following aspects have to be taken care.

  2. Main Flash memory region, where Flash plug-in is loaded should be static write protected

  3. All the Global variables should be initialized by the 'Init' function

  4. Function prototypes for the 4 plug-in APIs should be as specified in the BSL userguide.

  5. SRAM memory usage

    1. VTOR - Start of SRAM (0x20000000). If interrupts are used, VTOR should be placed at the start of the SRAM, as the ROM BSL uses that address space

    2. Stack start address - End of SRAM memory available in the device

    3. Stack size - Should not exceed the ROM BSL stack size

    4. Data section (.data, .bss) - 'BSL Buffer Start address' returned by the Get Device Info command, when no Flash plug-in is registered in the device, should be the start address of the Data section.

    5. Data section size - Size consumed by the Data section (.data, .bss) should be configured in the BSL Non-main configuration memory.
