[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Times New Roman, serif][SIZE=4]Dear Friends,[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Times New Roman, serif][SIZE=4]I am working on LPC 1768 Controller. I am trying to implement [B]boot loader[/B] in my application so that I can update the firmware in the target board MCU through external flash (I need to download the firmware to MCU without JTAG, through external flash).[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Times New Roman, serif][SIZE=4]If anybody having standard code and suitable documents for this, Plz give me. [/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Times New Roman, serif][SIZE=4]And suggest me how to begin this application. [/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]

[SIZE=4]Thanks&Regards,[/SIZE]

What is hanging, the bootloader or your application that the bootloader invokes?

If you are ending up at the default handler, that would indicate that an interrupt is being triggered that your code (either the bootloader or you application - depending upon when the hang occurs) does not have a dedicated handler for.

I suspect that you probably have interrupts still being triggered from the bootloader's setup of the system (eg USB) when you switch over to running your actual application. Probably best to disable interrupts in this case as you jump until your application code has completed its set up of the system hardware.

And you have tried debugging the function that carries out the jump to see what is actually happening? I would advise single stepping though at the instruction level, taking careful note of the values in the registers.

Once you get through this problem, you may also find this FAQ on debugging application loaded via a bootloader useful...

Thank u very much sir,that problem is solved,we are uploading code from external flash to internal flash,after uploading the code we are trying to jump to application code location as 0x10000,that time its hanging,if u have any example code,please reply

Ehh... enable CRP in your application?

But this does not suddenly appear, the linker script files that are generated from your project match the settings that your project has (so no CRP in your project means no CRP in the original linker script).

You might want to search this site and the Code Red support site using the sticky post all on top of this forum and read up on CRP when you have a problem with this.

if we try to change the linker file,its giving error as "CRP_enabled,but no crp word provided with in application".please reply

Then there must be an error in your code.
Have a look at the USB bootloader that is delivered with the examples in the LPCXpresso tools.
LPC17xx\RDB1768cmsis2.zip is the file you want to import into a (empty) workspace, RDB1768cmsis2_usb_bootloader is the project you want to study.

Rob

thanks for quick reply,in RDB1768_usb_bootloader,mentioned to change the link scripts file,if we try to change the linker file,its giving error as "CRP_enabled,but no crp word provided with in application".please reply

In the first place, try searching past forum posts for "bootloader" / "boot loader" - there have been a lot of previous questions and answers in this area, some of them in the (very) recent past....
