LPC4357 M4 code in RAM

Hi,
I'm trying to run a function from RAM in M4 core.
I'm using LPCXpresso 7.8.0 and an EA-LPC4357 eval board.

This function performs the erase of sector 0 Flash A.
If the code in RAM has no "links" with Flash A and there are no interrupts, it should run..but, actually, it crashes as soon as I try to erase sector 0 of Flash A.
...I don't understand why.

Note:
- I'm not using interrupts
- I left 32Bytes of stack offset. to use IAP
- I initialize IAP before using it
- I placed the routine routine into RAM

Here the simple code:


#include "board.h"

#include <cr_section_macros.h>

#include "iap_18xx_43xx.h"

//IAP: Settings .. ->.. stack offset=32
// Initialize IAP before using it
// Erase sector 0 from RAM

#define IAP_INIT_CMD 49

void Chip_IAP_Initialise(void)
{
uint32_t command[5], result[4];

command[0] = IAP_INIT_CMD;
iap_entry(command, result);
}



__RAMFUNC(RAM) void ram_fw_upgrade(void){

int i;
uint32_t n_sector=0;//we start writing data in this sector
uint32_t command[5], result[4];


 __disable_irq();

 // prepare sector 0
 command[0] = IAP_PREWRRITE_CMD;
 command[1] = n_sector;
 command[2] = n_sector;
 command[3] = 0;//flashBank A
 iap_entry(command, result);

 //erase sector 0
command[0] = IAP_ERSSECTOR_CMD;
command[1] = n_sector;
command[2] = n_sector;
command[3] = SystemCoreClock / 1000;
 command[4] = 0;//flashBank A
 iap_entry(command, result);           //---->crash!!

for(i=0;i<1000000;i++);//wait..do something in RAM

 __enable_irq();

 return;
}







int main(void) {
int i=0;
void (*longfunc)(void) = &ram_fw_upgrade;

    SystemCoreClockUpdate();
 //   Board_Init();
 //   Board_LED_Set(0, true);
      Board_UART_Init(0);//doing nothing, but it's needed, or it will not compile

    Chip_IAP_Initialise();

    if(i!=0){ //just for safety..we enter here only manually, during debug..
    (*longfunc)();//  running from RAM
    }
    while(1) {
    i++;
    }
    return 0 ;
}

What do you mean by "crashes"? What *really* happens? HardFault?

Thank you for your interest, "TheFallGuy"!

Yes, it's hard fall. The debugger stops and I can't execute the lines after the "iap-erase" line.

Bye!
Pietro

So, debug the Hard Fault (hint - there is a FAQ for this). Or as a minimum, give as a clue as to details on the hard fault.I've got good eyesight, but I can't read your screen from here...

Intersting thing,
I didn't know about the hardfault debug.
Unfortunately, for me, it's quite criptic.
The fail happens at the aiap command line
iap_entry(command, result);

and it seems vectpc register is addressing this issue..but ??.. do you have suggestions?

I'm attaching the screen shot.

Thanks
Pietro

What address are you using as the IAP entry point? Is the thumb bit set?

Hi,
the IAP address is inside a library of LPCOpne of LPCXpresso (lpc_chip_43xx): I think it's correct and it's pointing to the ROM.

/* Pointer to ROM IAP entry functions */
#define IAP_ENTRY_LOCATION (*((uint32_t *) 0x10400100))

static INLINE void iap_entry(unsigned int cmd_param[], unsigned int status_result[])
{
((IAP_ENTRY_T) IAP_ENTRY_LOCATION)(cmd_param, status_result);
}

IAP works fine, the problem is only related to sector 0.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean with "!thumb bit set"..could you please explain it?

Tbnaks
