DSC Flasher Error 1: Address out of range with MC56F84763

[danielbronson]

I have an application running on the MC56F84763 which I normally load to the IC using the Codewarrior Eclipse IDE 10.6

I would like to begin using the DSC Flasher program to load the program to the DSC, but I continually get an error every time I tried to program with DSC Flasher.  The error reports:
Error 1: The Address 0x00060000 is out of range given the flash memory space parameters

After digging through the DSC Flasher application, I know that MC56F84763 uses the memory model in MC56F84769_mem.tcl.  I have compared the memory locations and spaces that are default in the file mentioned and my application.  They look the same, and so I expect them to be compatible.

My application sets the security bits on the Flash memory so that the program cannot be read after writing.  I am wondering if anyone knows - are the security bits being locked the thing that is throwing this error in DSC Flasher?

Thanks for the help!

Thank you, Xin Kuang and Luca Gotti!

This is confirmed to work.  I removed all of the lines manually out of the .S file at line 0x60000.  The DSC Flasher then programmed without any warnings or errors.

This is a known issue that DSC Flasher does not support the S-record file which contains data in Program RAM. You can manually remove the data line in Program RAM from S-record file to work it around.

I confirm that i've solved the very same problem in that way ( manually removed the s-rec lines starting from 0x6000  ) .

However, it would be nice it Freesclale fixes this very annoying problem !!

Also it would be nice if the programming times would be shortened :  The old flash_over_jtag utility was really faster the DSC Flasher !!!
