Load execution image into flash with ARM RealView

[shinnlin]

Posted on June 28, 2004 at 06:57Does anyone know how to load execution image into STR710's internal flash memory under RealView Debugger ? I just got the STR710-EVAL board and STR-RVICE/ME this week. And I'm not familiar to RealView. Could anyone tell me how to configure the memory location under RealView ? Btw, does everybody use RealView to develop STR710 ?

Have a look at STR71x SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT GETTING STARTED on this website -

There are a lot of other choices for arm compiler, depends how much you want to spend, and the length of the learning curve. Arm Realview, Arm ADS, Keil, IAR, Green Hills, Rowley, GCC - just a selection of Arm compilers. My personal favourite is GCC. Regards sjo

I had read the listed documents for related chapters;

however, I still can't find the way to move a program initially mapped on RAM to STR710's internal flash. I can change the starting address and size on memory mapping table, but how can I asign the mapping address of the program ? I also read documents from ARM regarding RealView Debugger.. No clue..

Ya! I got it !

I worked on the project Example2 of AN1774.zip and set the following in project property. [Project Properties][Build][Link Advanced] ->Ro base = 0x40000000 ->Rw base = 0x20000000 ->First = 71x_vect.o I think my previous problem was that I didn't put 71x_vect.o to first.

Hello shinn,

I think also that what you have done in the project proprieties can be done using the scatter file (scat.scf) as following for example . Flash 0x40000000 0x10000 { Flash 0x40000000 { 71x_vect.o (Vect, +First) 71x_init.o(Init) * (+RO) } RAM 0x20000000 { * (+RW) * (+ZI) } }
