invalid address in srecord block

JimDandy — Sat, 13 Apr 2019 14:46:20 GMT

Getting the following error message. Other posts talk about difference between logical and physical address.

-----------------

Checking range of S records. -

Address range is not in module Invalid address detected

Invalid address in srecord block from $00000000 to $0000000E

------------------

the actual srecord:

S1120000B696C7303EB680C73038B600C7303921
S113C0006E00006E00016E0003A600C730B8A600E3

Using 9s08pa.s8p module

What could possibly be wrong???

Uploaded the srecord and it looks a bit different from what went in. The first 16 lines are FF, the next line is unknown data, the next 4 are as per what was programmed in. Is some of it written to unimplemented addresses?

Original and retrieved srecord below. Can't seem to get the formatting right, sorry! "source code" button doesn't do anything useful on my browser...

EDIT -> I had some of the config registers listed above ORG $C000 so the srecord was being partially written to the non-flash area.

:facepalm: ....

This has nothing to do with linear to physical. BTW what's part number? Linear to physical applies only to derivatives with >=64k of flash.

Address 0000 highlighted in your S record certainly is wrong. You should look in your map file for what is allocated to address 0000. There must be something, not peripheral registers but some initialized variables, structs or routine from your code. Don't you receive some warnings? If not, didn't you suppress some "annoying" and/or "not useful" warnings? As well, perhaps linker attempts to allocate something above 0xFFFF address, which could be chopped to 0000.
