Unable to get IAP working with LPC1853

Hi,
I am struggling to get IAP working with a custom made board that mount a LPC1853 part. I can program this part using ISP DFU and the application provided from NXP. I am working with IAR 6.40.5 compiler and Segger JLINK debugger.

I have started from here:
http://www.lpcware.com/content/blog/application-programming-iap-code-example

The .ICF (linker file) is set properly to reserve top 32 bytes of RAM as follow:

// Top 32 bytes are reserved for IAP variables
define symbol LOCAL_SRAM_start__    = 0x10080000;
define symbol LOCAL_SRAM_end__      = 0x10089FDF;
define region LOCAL_SRAM_region    = mem:[from LOCAL_SRAM_start__ to LOCAL_SRAM_end__];

Command parameter table and command result table are placed at a fixed address:

static unsigned int iapCommands[6] @ 0x10080000;
static unsigned int iapResults[4] @ 0x10080018;

The IAP invoke call is located in the jump table as follows:

#define IAP_LOCATION 0x10400100
typedef void (__thumb *IAP)(unsigned int[], unsigned int[]);
const static IAP iap_entry = (IAP)IAP_LOCATION;

To keep thing as simple as possibile, I am only trying to send an "IAP_INIT (49)" command and looking for a CMD_SUCCESS response.

__disable_interrupt();
iapCommands[0] = (unsigned int)IAP_INIT;
iap_entry(iapCommands, iapResults);
ret = iapResults[0];
__enable_interrupt();

if (ret != CMD_SUCCESS) {
/*Cmd failed*/
return((uint32_t)-1);
}

When IAP is called, I can see from via JTAG that the registers are properly set:
R0: 0x10080000 //&iapCommands[0]
R1: 0x10080018 //&iapResults[0]
R2: 0x10400100 //IAP ROM driver table

From the disassembly listing I can see the jump command to the address:
BLX R2

After that some assembly instructions are done and at some point the processor goes to the Hardware Fault ISR before reaching the instruction:
ret = iapResults[0];

Is there someone that could tell me if I made something wrong or misunderstood something from the User Manual?
Thank you

I have replaced the default HardFault handler with this one:

void HardFault_Handler(void) {
   __ASM("TST LR, #4");
   __ASM("ITE EQ");
   __ASM("MRSEQ R0, MSP");
   __ASM("MRSNE R0, PSP");
   __ASM("B hard_fault_handler_c");
}

// From Joseph Yiu, minor edits by fcarlo
// hard fault handler in C,
// with stack frame location as input parameter
// called from HardFault_Handler in file xxx.s
void hard_fault_handler_c(unsigned int * hardfault_args) {
unsigned int stacked_r0;
unsigned int stacked_r1;
unsigned int stacked_r2;
unsigned int stacked_r3;
unsigned int stacked_r12;
unsigned int stacked_lr;
unsigned int stacked_pc;
unsigned int stacked_psr;

unsigned int stacked_bfar;
unsigned int stacked_cfsr;
unsigned int stacked_hfsr;
unsigned int stacked_dfsr;
unsigned int stacked_afsr;
unsigned int stacked_scb_shcsr;

stacked_r0 = ((unsigned long) hardfault_args[0]);
stacked_r1 = ((unsigned long) hardfault_args[1]);
stacked_r2 = ((unsigned long) hardfault_args[2]);
stacked_r3 = ((unsigned long) hardfault_args[3]);

stacked_r12 = ((unsigned long) hardfault_args[4]);
stacked_lr = ((unsigned long) hardfault_args[5]);
stacked_pc = ((unsigned long) hardfault_args[6]);
stacked_psr = ((unsigned long) hardfault_args[7]);

stacked_bfar = (*((volatile unsigned long *)(0xE000ED38)));
stacked_cfsr = (*((volatile unsigned long *)(0xE000ED28)));
stacked_hfsr = (*((volatile unsigned long *)(0xE000ED2C)));
stacked_dfsr = (*((volatile unsigned long *)(0xE000ED30)));
stacked_afsr = (*((volatile unsigned long *)(0xE000ED3C)));
stacked_scb_shcsr = SCB->SHCSR;

printf ("\n\n[Hard fault handler - all numbers in hex]\n");
printf ("R0 = %x\n", stacked_r0);
printf ("R1 = %x\n", stacked_r1);
printf ("R2 = %x\n", stacked_r2);
printf ("R3 = %x\n", stacked_r3);
printf ("R12 = %x\n", stacked_r12);
printf ("LR [R14] = %x subroutine call return address\n", stacked_lr);
printf ("PC [R15] = %x program counter\n", stacked_pc);
printf ("PSR = %x\n", stacked_psr);
printf ("BFAR = %x\n", (*((volatile unsigned long *)(0xE000ED38))));
printf ("CFSR = %x\n", (*((volatile unsigned long *)(0xE000ED28))));
printf ("HFSR = %x\n", (*((volatile unsigned long *)(0xE000ED2C))));
printf ("DFSR = %x\n", (*((volatile unsigned long *)(0xE000ED30))));
printf ("AFSR = %x\n", (*((volatile unsigned long *)(0xE000ED3C))));
printf ("SCB_SHCSR = %x\n", SCB->SHCSR);

while (1);
}

And this is the output:

R0        = 0
R1        = 0x100826FB
R2        = 0x10400100
R3        = 0x40050004
R12       = 0x40050044
LR [R14] = 0x1A001E3F
PC [R15] = 0x1040012A
PSR       = 0x41000000
BFAR      = 0xE000ED38
CFSR      = 0x00000400
HFSR      = 0x40000000
DFSR      = 1
AFSR      = 0
SCB_SHCSR = 0

I can't do step-by-step debugging with Segger J-link after the jump to the ROM API address (0x10400100) so I can't understand exactly what could be the problem.
I forgot to mention that I am currently using an external oscillator and PLL1 is enabled to run at 60 MHz.

0x10400100 is not the IAP entry point. Rather this word location holds the <i>pointer</i> to the IAP entry point!

<code>
iap_entry = *((IAP *)0x10400100);
iap_entry(...); /* Jumps to 0x10408580 */
</code>

Thank you for pointing this out.
Now is working properly.
Greetings

Also... make sure to have enough stack space available, especially if you plan to call Set active boot flash bank. That command requires 2208 bytes of stack.

Hi Dave, how would one reserve 2208 bytes for this "Set Active boot flash bank" command? Thank you
