How do you download a .axf file into the flash memory for a LPC1113? I'm using LPCXpresso 3.5.6 on XP. Using the "Program Flash" button on the toolbar I get "05: File 'test.axf' load failure: Eg(10). Attempt to load into missing flash area." I only set the file name in "Program Flash". No other options were changed from default.

I also tried the command line:
G:\test\Debug>crt_emu_lpc11_13_nxp -wire=winusb -pLPC1113/301 -flash-load-exec=test.axf

I can download to the LPC1113 properly if I use the "Debug test" option in the Quickstart panel, so it's not the chip.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hello ngruending,

where you able to run other example programs with your LPCXpresso?

Yes, I can download and debug projects just fine using the quickstart panel. But if I want to download just the axf file using the Program Flash button on the toolbar I get the errors mentioned. Unfortunately I need to be able program the axf file without using the quickstart panel.

Thanks!

Did you paste the real output from the command? I ask because

Quote:

G:\test\Debug>crt_emu_lpc11_13_nxp -wire=winusb -pLPC1113/301 -flash-load-exec=test.axf

is followed by

Quote:

Nt: Loading ELF file 'SLA_charger.axf' at location 00000000
Nt: Loading ELF file 'SLA_charger.axf' at location 00000000
Ed:05: File 'SLA_charger.axf' load failure: Eg(10). Attempt to load into missing

That is, you specified "test.axf", but the output is reporting "SLA_charger.axf"

Sorry, I made a mistake editing. I meant to change all instances of SLA_charger.axf to test.axf. I obviously forgot one. But the output is correct.

Could you contact Code Red support and send your .axf file and liker script, so we can try to determine what is going on.

See the "email:support" link here:

Thanks

The problem is the data in your .noinit section located at address 0x10000004. This is a RAM address, yet the section attributes in the ELF file suggest to our loader it's writable. Based on the chip attributes, we know there's no flash there, so we emit an error. If it's really a noinit section, then perhaps you need to redefine the section attributes (e.g. .bss). I don't have your source to know where this section originates. Otherwise, you'll need to treat the .noinit section like the .data section . Any initialized values in .data are copied from flash to RAM at a runtime. See the ResetISR code in the Code Red startup.

Note the reason it seems to work under debug, is the debug environment has intervened and issued a RAM write command for the .noinit contents. A flashed application has to resolve all initialization details, without such intervention.

Hi, I'm having this same issue. I can flash the LPC1768 from quickstart panel (both Debug and Release mode).

I tried this method before and it worked well, but now it isnt working.

Which are those steps to initialize or edit the ELF file?

P.S.: Despite the error, it seems that the tool is flashing correctly the binary file. I mass erased the device memory and checked if the app was running (it wasnt). Then flashed the AXF and checked if the app was running (it was).

Thanks in advance,
Mariano.
