boot loader using data flash instead of program flash

barbercolman — Tue, 10 May 2016 12:08:58 GMT

The boot loader examples we have seen use the program flash not the data flash area. We know we need to set up the linker file to use the FlexNVM as program space. Not sure where to go from there. Does anyone have a working bootloader that users the FlexNVM as program flash? We are using the MC56F844X DSP.

Thanks

Hello DALE

FlexNVM is not used in our bootloader project for 56F84789. Below is extracted from the map file of this project:

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

# Memory map:

v_addr p_addr size name

00000000 00000000 000000DE .interrupt_vectors .pIntvectorBoot

00002000 00002000 00002000 .xRAM_code

The bootloader code locates from 0001F400 in primary program. It seems that we are not using the same project. Please download from this link:
