Using ADSP-BF548 EZ-KIT Lite Hard Disk and LCD Screen
The table at the top of the window shows that in addition to the system
heap, which the C library functions
malloc() and free() use by default,
there is a user heap (
FSSGeneralHeap) allocated 4 MB of space in DDR
SDRAM memory (L3). FSS operates a cache of disk sectors to speed up its
operation, but instead of making FSS allocate and free memory for the
cache from the system heap (which may have a disruptive effect on other
parts of the application), we give FSS a heap of its own. The FSS’s heap

we have enabled the instruction cache and both the data caches to improve
