I'm begginer using LPC4357 with lpcxpresso and dual core. i have made both axf files and upladed them to both cores flash.

I'm trying to synchronize both cores in my software.

First i decided to try using SDRAM. M4 is reading first 4bytes of SDRAM and M0 is writing to that bytes but M4 goes immediately to Hard Fault. I don't know if it is possible to read & write SDRAM with two cores in the same time?

//M4

uint32_t *temp = (uint32_t*)SDRAM_BASE;

while(1) {

sprintf(buff, "value = %d\r\n", temp[0]);

console_sendString(buff);

TIM_Waitms(1000);

}

//M0

uint32_t *temp = (uint32_t*)SDRAM_BASE;

uint32_t idx =0;

while(1) {

temp[0] = idx++%100000;

}

but on cosole i get some rubbish like "<0><0><0><0><0><0><0><0><0><0><0><0><0><0><0><0>" and console stops, probably M4 goes to hard fault . WHat is going on here?

Then i thought of using IPC but i do not have examples under LPCxpresso only under Keil. The example of IPC is nice but it is using M0 image read from CM0_image.c file and M4 is uploading this image to M0. I do not know how to generate such a file in LPCxpresso. The examples is here:
