What is `fast text` (and fast data)? I have not heard of this before and I
cannot find anything on it?
I added this section 11 years ago as a section for code which could reside in a
faster memory. For example, normal code could reside on a 16-bit SDRAM and the
fast code on an internal 32-bit SRAM in a chip without a cache. In the recent
Cortex-M7 BSPs, the fast text is mapped to the ITCM.
OK. Is anything written up about this?
No, maybe we should add something about this in the arm BSP section of
the user manual.
For example is allocating variables
automatic or can I control allocation to it?
You just have to place a function or variable with the section attribute
into these sections:
bsps/arm/include/bsp/linker-symbols.h:#define BSP_FAST_TEXT_SECTION \
bsps/arm/include/bsp/linker-symbols.h- RTEMS_SECTION(".bsp_fast_text")
bsps/arm/include/bsp/linker-symbols.h:#define BSP_FAST_DATA_SECTION \
bsps/arm/include/bsp/linker-symbols.h- RTEMS_SECTION(".bsp_fast_data")
