Erasing interrupt vector table

[zorandjokic]

I am using ReinvokeISP to run bootload process. I successfully finished synchronization part and sent almost 4kb to RAM (using UUEncoding). The problem I faced arose when trying to copy RAM to flash - sector 0. In fact I could not erase whole sector 0 (or Interrupt Vector table of 64 bytes, to be more specific).

Controller is LPC2378.

Thank you Carlos for useful links. Meantime I think I found my mistake, that I forgot to disable all interrupts (CPSR) register, so it seems that the code works.

Hi Zoran,

Glad to hear that. Yes, it is always recommended disabling the interrupts when erasing/writing flash.

Best regards!

Hi Zoran,

You could take a look at application note AN10744 “Ethernet secondary ISP bootloader”, especially on section 3.4 “Modifying the user application”:

On AN10759 you may find helpful related information:

Hope this will be useful for you.

Best regards!
