How to make a application in KDS which can be started from 0x00008000 location for FRDM-KL25Z

Hi All,

I have a FRDM-KL25Z EVM andi am using kinetis design studio and i have made a demo LED application.

I have created a binary file for the same.

Now i need to start this application from 0x00008000 vector address.

Currently I am using sample application which is given with KBOOT but they are supported using IAR only and i want to use KDS instead (If possible ,then without processor expert).

These IAR supported applications are given to work with 0x00008000 address . so i want to do the same using KDS.

So do any one have idea what should i do ?

Please guide me here in this case this would be great appreciable.

Please let me know if you need more information .

 

Thanks & Regards,

Rutvij.

Hello Rutvij,

please show the linker file (*.ld)  about how to configure the MEMORY part .

And what about your project , does it PE project ? If yes, in the linker file , please configure :

__heap_size = 0x400;

Hope it helps

Hi Alice,

Thank you for your quick and informative response.

Its relay appreciable

Yes i am currently using PE and i have a linker file named " ProcessorExpert.ld".

I am new to PE and so i am not familer  with the .ld file . So can guide me where should i see ?

Here is my linker file.

Hello Rutvij,

Please change here to have a try :

(1)

pastedImage_0.png

heap_size = 0x400;

(2)

/*default */

MEMORY {

  m_interrupts (RX) : ORIGIN = 0x00000000, LENGTH = 0x000000C0

  m_text      (RX) : ORIGIN = 0x00000410, LENGTH = 0x0001FBF0

  m_data      (RW) : ORIGIN = 0x1FFFF000, LENGTH = 0x00004000

  m_cfmprotrom  (RX) : ORIGIN = 0x00000400, LENGTH = 0x00000010

}

/*Modefied */

MEMORY {

  m_interrupts (RX) : ORIGIN = 0x00008000, LENGTH = 0x000000C0

  m_text      (RX) : ORIGIN = 0x00008410, LENGTH = 0x0001FBF0

  m_data      (RW) : ORIGIN = 0x1FFFF000, LENGTH = 0x00004000

  m_cfmprotrom  (RX) : ORIGIN = 0x00008400, LENGTH = 0x00000010

}

Hope it helps


Have a great day,

Alice

Hi Alice,

I went through the steps suggested by you and generated a binary in .bin format.

Then i downloaded the freedom_bootloader.srec into FRDM-KL25Z and updated the genrated .bin using the window utility "KinetisUpdater.exe" to 0x00008000 location but i got nothing.

But if i do the same using the IAR gerated binary it works and i got the LEDs blinking as per my code using "KinetisUpdater.exe" utility 0x00008000.

So do you think i am missing anything or is there anything else i should see ?

Thanks & Regards,

Rutvij.

Hello Rutvij,

Please see the attachment , it is i create on on KDS3.0 - PE project about FRDM-KL25 board, the function is set the green LED.

the "kl25_led_test.bin" is the file which can use the KBOOT to update .  Please check the project and file on your side.

And i think you may ignore  disable " Generate linker file" , if you have not done this , when you build , the linker file will restore to default.
