Posted on May 17, 2011 at 09:56Hi,
I need to be able to transfer some data from bootloader to application (on STR912FAW44). Is this possible to do via RAM? That is, can I define an absolute RAM address that will be available in both bootloader and application?
I would prefer not to create a custom linker file. Also, it is safe to assume that I am not hitting the limits of memory, so I can use the ''top of a memory location''.
Background: On bootup, the bootloader can see both flash banks (as expected), but once the application is started, it cannot see the boot bank. This is a deliberate policy to guarantee a restart on an unexpected event (both banks need to be at address 0 to cope with a restart, so I need to disable the boot bank when running application).
regards,
Mykola
