LPC802 Writing flash

Caroline22 — Fri, 25 Feb 2022 09:40:23 GMT

Hello,

I have results like below with iap example in MCUXpresso with LPC802M001JDH16FP

- only change in code example:

#define DEMO_IAP_FLASH_SECTOR (0)

Do you know what is the reason of such error?

With 1st and 2nd sectors i have results:

#define DEMO_IAP_FLASH_SECTOR (1)

"Break at address "0xfffffffe" with no debug information available, or outside of program code."

#define DEMO_IAP_FLASH_SECTOR (2)

goes to:

#if defined(__REDLIB__)
void __assertion_failed(char *failedExpr)
{
(void)PRINTF("ASSERT ERROR \" %s \n", failedExpr);
for (;;)
{
__BKPT(0);
}
}

Are these sectors blocked? I can't find such information.

Hello Caroline22,

About writing flash, recommend you first refer to iap_flash demo under SDK, change code base on the demo, and if still have issue, please describe it more clearly.

Hello,

Thanks for replying.

I used iap_flash, SDK.

Only change I made in iap_flash example, line 19:

#define DEMO_IAP_FLASH_SECTOR (0)

(in example there is: #define DEMO_IAP_FLASH_SECTOR (14)).

I have results like above in flash (from 0x2000) - could you help me why the results look like that? what can be the reason?

Hello Caroline22,

Because your application code is in sector 0, you can not erase it.

Hello,

I tried also with 1,2,3,6,8 sectors, instead of 14 - the same result (result as above; 10-14 sectors are empty) - I found that IAP_EraseSector doesn't work for 1,2,3,6,8 sectors (I watched flash addresses in Memory Monitor).

#define DEMO_IAP_FLASH_SECTOR (14) - works ok

Are 10-14 sectors only available for writing?

Look up the datasheet of your MCU, and it's Flash layout.

Flash sectors are only the erase units for the programming process.

All sectors of one Flash bank are subjected to the programming voltage during erase/program, which means you cannot execute code from any affected sector at the same time.

Either use sector 14 which seems to work, or load your erase/flash code (probably only one function) into RAM and execute it there.

Hello Caroline22

As frank said, you can not erase/program the sector which execute code. Except copy code into RAM to run.
