In regard to warning; ''not enough working area available(requested 8192, free 8144)''

The following post explains that this is expected because flash algorithm uses 48 bytes.

A google search for this error indicates an issue with gdb when pathnames have a space. This does not seem to be the case here as both projects are in the same Projects folder.

I found that the gdb run command was not complete, my cut and paste error. Now updated to the following;

target remote localhost:3333

 

symbol-file main.out

 

monitor soft_reset_halt

 

monitor flash erase_sector 0 0 31

 

monitor flash write_image main.bin 0x08000000

 

thbreak main

 

cont

 

 

I no longer get the original error and gdb seems to keep running. Looks like I may have a program error as it goes to the hardfault handler with gdb console;

Now need to decipher the above error....
