NVPROT and Vector re-direction using initializer on MC9S08AW32

jerryn — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 23:06:55 GMT

I am trying to get a bootloader to run, but am having some issues with the Flash protection and Vector re-direction. Just as a test, without any bootloader code, I tried just to enable the flash protection and vector re-direction using the initializer.

The vectors were relocated to 0xFDCC, as expected, with the reset vector remaining at 0xFFFE

The _Startup vector is loaded at this address.

I was expecting the app to run exactly the same as without re-direction, since all that should be happening is that the interrupt vector addresses were located at a different address.

Starting the app through the BDM debugger, it initially ran, but stopped with an illegal breakpoint.

Thinking this may be a debugger issue, I just programmed the flash, disconnected the BDM, power-cycled, and re-started. The app still crashed.

The initializer's MCUInit code snippet for setting the NVPROT and NVOPT is shown below, along with the interrupt vector table

Any reason why the original app should not run as without vector re-direction?

/* NVOPT: KEYEN=0,FNORED=0,SEC01=1,SEC00=0 */
const unsigned char NVOPT_INIT @0x0000FFBF = 0x3E;

Pilot error......

My app includes using flash as NV EEPROM and wrote to the upper memory block...

Never mind......
