Dear all,
I use keil uvison and lpc1768 board . I want to copy a piece of code from flash to RAM in run time. But when I try to execute the function code from the RAM I get the following error
[color=#f33]access violation at 0x10006000: no execute/read permission .[/color]

I have checked the memory map and for the region from 0x10000000-0x1000FFFF the permission rights are exec/read. Could you please provide me a solution, if this is possible?

I use the following piece of code for the copy .

#include <string.h>
extern void f(void);
#define PROG_SIZE 64
unsigned char ProgRamSpace[PROG_SIZE] __attribute__((section(".ARM._at_0x10006000")));

void copyToRam()
{

    static void (*fnRAM_code)(void) = f;

    unsigned char *pCodeStart = (unsigned char *)f;
    f(); // f is allocated in flash

    //thump2 addresss
     pCodeStart = (unsigned char *)(((unsigned int)pCodeStart) & ~0x1);

     //copy all the instructions of the f function in buffer that is allocated in RAM
     memcpy((char*)ProgRamSpace,pCodeStart,sizeof(ProgRamSpace));

    //create a thumb-2 call
     fnRAM_code = (void(*)(void))(&ProgRamSpace[1]);//The last significant of PC should be 1

    /create a call
    (*fnRAM_code)();

}

The scatter file is the following
