Use PIC32 Boot Flash to Expand Program Memory

Hello,

At the moment our compiler is not designed to see Boot Flash as program memory space.
I will check this out but I can not make any promises.

Best regards.

Might I suggest that an easy way to make some of this possible would be to have an option to declare certain constants to be placed in boot flash? That way, for example, a constant array containing bitmaps for GLCD characters could be stored there. Just being able to place large constant arrays in BF would be helpful.

I don't think that this is important on the large PIC32s, but is very significant on the smaller ones. The smallest has 16k of flash, and this would be very significant.

Hello,

Please check the following topic:

You can use bootflash area of your controller. You just need to make sure not to use addresses which are already used by the controller.

Best regards.
