using the FLashloader API -> appStart

cbismark

 Hello everyone,

I've been using the USB-Boot-nano example from Karol and it works great. However, when programmed through the Debug or USB-Interface, the Bootloader doesn't recognize the program, because of a missing checksum as far as I know.

Is there a way to generate that checksum and write it into the flash so that the Bootloader sees the program as if it programmed it itself?

Regards,

Christoph

    I can't find the add-on Flashloader to build the example!! pls could someone give me the link!! PLEASE!

    Is there any news to this topic? Knowing where the checksum is stored and having a way of generating it and most importantly storing it in the right position in flash is really needed.
    If that doesn't work, is there a way to tell the flashloader framework to try and load anyway, since the image is raw and not bch? (found two definitions that seem to distinguish the analyzed flash between bch-flashed and raw-flashed.)

    Regards,

    Christoph

    I have ued this tool to add the CRC to the downloader srecord file that is programmed into flash using the debugger (load the srecord into memory, and only load the symbols from the elf file for the downloader) :-

     

    http://srecord.sourceforge.net/

     

    I added a new builder to the project (add_crc) :-

     

    and then the builder configuration was :-

     

     

    The arguments are :-

     

    ${build_type}
    0x100000
    0x17FFFF
    ${project_name}.srec
    ${project_name}_crc.srec

     

    These are:-

     

    %1 is build type
    %2 is slot base address
    %3 is slot end address
    %4 is input S-record with no CRC
    %5 is output S-record with CRC added

     

    and the crc_add.bat file I created is attached (rename to .bat to use).

    Fullscreen crc_add.txt Download 
    @echo off
