Dear TI Engineers,
I hope this message finds you well. I am currently developing a program for the TMS320F28377D device and have encountered a technical issue that I would appreciate your assistance with. Here are the details of the problem: I defined a variable named `VrefTem` in the `CLADataLS0` section of my linker command file (`.cmd`). This variable is intended to store data sampled from the ADC module. However, when I perform online debugging (simulation), the value of `VrefTem` consistently remains 0, even though the ADC sampling and CLA (Control Law Accelerator) execution are confirmed to be triggered. Notably, when I redefine `VrefTem` to be in the `Cla1ToCpuMsgRAM` section instead, the variable can be assigned values normally, and the ADC-sampled data is correctly stored. I suspect the issue might be related to the configuration of my linker command file (`.cmd`), but I have not been able to identify the exact problem after repeated checks. Could you please help me analyze whether the `.cmd` file configuration for the `CLADataLS0` section is incorrect? Or are there other potential causes for this variable assignment failure?
here is my cmd file
// The user must define CLA_C in the project linker settings if using the
// CLA C compiler
// Project Properties -> C2000 Linker -> Advanced Options -> Command File
// Preprocessing -> --define
#ifdef CLA_C
// Define a size for the CLA scratchpad area that will be used
// by the CLA compiler for local symbols and temps
// Also force references to the special symbols that mark the
// scratchpad are.
CLA_SCRATCHPAD_SIZE = 0x100;

here is my ClaTask1，I am sure ClaTask1 is trigger，and ADC is ok，
