USB VirtualComPort Loopback

Dear collegues,

I experience a trouble with writing code for STM32L152VBT. Let me explain sequentially.

I had my PCB with chip STM32L152VBT.

I took the example project from STM32_USB-FS-Device_Lib_V4.0.0 and adopt to my chip. Run the project. Everything work perfectly. OK.

Because I planned to use USB loader, I corrected memory boundaries with agreement UM0424 (USB-FS-Device development kit): ROM start from 0x08003000 and add line in my code:

NVIC_SetVectorTable(NVIC_VectTab_FLASH,0x3000);

Compile the project. It seems everything OK.

As soon I had added my code, the program crashed. Sometimes it stopped at adress below 0x08003000. Sometimes chip couldn't be stopped at all!

I have no idea what to do.

What is the trouble? In which direction should I dig? Help!

Best regards,

Ivan Z.

Around here we break out the debugger and go fishing.

If it break because you change the vector table address, then perhaps you should assume you still have a couple of interrupts enabled for which your new table does not have service routines for?  Getting hard faults, use a proper handle to decompose the failure state.

Clive,

Thank for fast responce!

I checked it the first of all. I don't get ''Hardware fault interrupt''. I am about to rewrite program.

It is very similar to troubles with a vector table. But I can't catch error. =(

And I don't know why the MassStorageDevice worked perfectly in the same case. :((

Others ideas, methods, hypothesises?

I FOUND

The function Leave_LowPowerMode(void) in hw_config.c called SystemInit() (what for?), where vector table was reset back to default state. (VECT_TAB_OFFSET was 0). I corrected line 

#define VECT_TAB_OFFSET 0x3000

And everything run! Thank you very much! ;)
