9. Run the Processor.
loading images on both SYSM3/APPM3 processors
---------------------------------------------
Follow below procedure to load images on both SYSM3/APPM3 using
user space loader
1. SYSM3 should be reached main() before loading the APPM3 image.
2. SYSM3 should be in running state to load APPM3 from MPU using
user space loader. Otherwise MPU will not respond.
3. Because of the above reasons, one need to introduce a continuos
while loop in both the SYSM3/APPM3 programs immediately in the main()
function at the first place. e.g:
while(flag)
;
4. Load the SYSM3 image using the loader, set the PC using CCS and tun the
SYSM3 processor. Now SYSM3 executing the while(flag) loop.
5. Load the APPM3 using the loader, set the PC using the CCS and run the
APPM3 processor, now the APPM3 is executing the while(flag) loop.
6. Stop APPM3 processor.
7. Stop SYSM3 processor.
8. Bring SYSM3 out of while loop by changing the variable flag to 0 on the
fly.
9. Bring APP3 out of while loop by changing the variable flag to 0 on the
fly.
10. Run SYSM3 and Run APPM3.
