Hello,

The issue is that cpm_muram_alloc_fixed() allocates memory from the general purpose muram area (from 0x0 to 0x1bff). Here we need to return a pointer to the parameter RAM, which is located somewhere starting at 0x1c00. It is not a dynamic allocation that is required here but only to point on the correct location in the parameter RAM.

For the CPM2, I don't know. I'm working with a MPC866.

Attached is a previous discussion on the subject where I explain a bit more in details the issue.

Regards
C. Leroy

I'm sorry, I don't understand the fix from the given description.
What is the problem, and why is cpm_muram_alloc_fixed() the wrong
thing to call on CPM1?  Does CPM2 still need it?
