CW7.0 for ColdFire -> Flash tools

[Nouchi]

Hi,

The problem described below was already present on CW6.x, with USB Multilink Pod and, MCF5213, MCF52223 target.
I declared constant segment at the top of flash like that:

Code:

#pragma define_section appident ".appident" far_absolute R__declspec(appident)char appId[] = "My Firware Version";

 in the lcf file:

Code:

appId    (RX)  : ORIGIN = 0x0003FFC0, LENGTH = 0x0000003C.app_id :{ *(.appident)} > appId

The flash tools never want to write this segment, this segment exist in the S19 file, and there's no problem with CFFlasher or ProgCFZ.
The flash tool log reports :

Code:

I just want to be clear on this. You're talking about the .s19 file being a S-record file, right? The Flash Tool diagnostic is saying it's not an S-record file, but an ELF file. While there's obviously a problem, I'm wondering if the trouble is rooted in the file format it's been given to work with.

Yes, I was talking about s19 file, and was correctly generated, flash tool used the default output linker file in elf format, but i don't know if it's format is ok (it should be)
I tried with the S19 S-Record file, and I've got the same result :

Code:

 It's not seems to be a file generation problem,.

OK, so now we know the problem doesn't have to do with the input format.

This problem is beyond my meager trouble-shooting skills. I suggest you file a service request on this. Click here to file a service request.

It's probably a problem between Flashtool and PEmicro Multilink driver......
