I have a custom board with LPC1111FHN33/203. When I try to program the flash with LPC-Link (one half of the LPC1114 LPCXpresso board) I got following error message:

-------------------------------------------------------------

LPC1111 should have 8KB FLASH but the LPCXpresso say that the FLASH is 4KB. Actually the LPC-Link is programming first 4KB and then report the following error:

Ed:05: File 'LPC.axf' load failure: Ef(8). Invalid address for flash write - not in defined flash.

If someone see this issue on LPC1111/203 or someone have some useful information please share with me.

Please post the debug log and the map file generated by the linker. Can you also try mass erasing before programming.

You might also want to try debugging the cause of the hard fault. This may not be an issue with the tools at all.

Note that I strongly doubt that your new problem is anything to do with the original. Your original programming problem was caused by the flash programming code being passed the wrong flash size for this specific part.

Now the programming is working (with LPCXpresso 5.1.2 and updated config in lpcxpresso/bin), but the firmware is not executing properly.

After some single-step debugging I got Hardware Fault exception.

I dump the entire FLASH with other debugger and seems like the bin and FLASH have little difference. I attaching FLASH dump (read_back.bin), original bin from build (ECR_LPC.axf.bin) and elf (ECR_LPC.axf) file.

If I program the generated bin with J-Link is executing properly.

I think you got the point and found where is the issue, but we need just small adjustment to get it completely working.

OK, I think that  I can see the problem (which is specific to the LPC1111/203 part).

Ensure that LPCXpresso 5.1.2 is not running, then extract the file from the attached zip and place it in the \lpcxpresso\bin subdirectory of your LPCXpresso 5.1.2 installation.

Does this then allow a successfully programming of your flash?

Can you try doing a mass erase before programming...

Then post the debug log from LPCXpresso 5.1.2

Also does this only happen with one particular image, or with every image?

If possible could you zip up and attach you AXF and map file to this thread?

Same issue with latest LPCXpresso IDE.
I try to program with ulink2 and there was no issue, ulink was able to program entire flash area, only LPC-Link have issue programming upper 4KB

Also my LPCXpresso showing 0x2000 FLASH size :(

My  LPCXpresso v5.1.2 [Build 2065] [2013-02-20]  is showing a flash size of  0x2000 :eek::eek:

Perhaps it's time to update?
