FRDM complaints about memory inconsistency

kai_liu — Sat, 19 Oct 2013 04:26:34 GMT

I use IAR and FRDM-KL25Z for my work. I found FRDM-KL25Z always complaints about memory inconsistency at address 0x00000000. The code execution is normal. But it is annoying.

I tried to erase all memory. But it doens't help at all. And I have two boards, they have same issues. Here is my log file. Please comment if you have any ideas about it.

Hi Kai,

I suggest you can select another board file, so follow the figures show below to choose FlashKLxx128K.board.

Oops. I will try it. Thanks.

My .board file setup is:

$TOOLKIT_DIR$\config\flashloader\Freescale\FlashKLxx128K.board

Which is exactly same file. However I specify it again (with same file). The warning dismissed anyway. Is it a bug of IAR?

Hi Kai,

I don't think it's a bug of IAR, The size of Flash that RAMKL25 have is 128K. So you'd better to choose the FlashKLxx128K.board.

Is that work well now ?

Best Regards,

It doesn't always pop up. But sometime it still jump to front.

Hi Kai,

You mean after you selected FlashKLxx128K.board, waring still jump to front just like before.

Yes, indeed. After selecting this board file manually. I did be warned at least once for same project.

I will keep a daily track for a week to check its chance.

Thanks for your support.
