stm32f779i -EVAL IAP

[Aravind1]

Hello experts,

I am using stm32f779I - EVAL evaluation kit, am trying to implement LWIP IAP on this board for that I have used example code from the repository C:\Users\Aravind\STM32Cube\Repository\STM32Cube_FW_F7_V1.17.0\Projects\STM32F769I_EVAL\Applications\LwIP\LwIP_IAP and binary file of application availabe in same repository, it is working fine as the binary file says four LEDS toggles, it is toggling.

 I have written my own application LED2 toggle with flash base address 0x08020000 and vector offset = 0x20000 and generated the binary file using STM CUBE IDE and tried to run, it is getting into not valid stack address (LED 3 is getting on ). The other way I generated the binary file using keil and loaded, now the stack address is getting valid but my application is not working as expected (LED2 is not toggling). I have attached the IAP code below which is working fine with binary file from repository but same IAP is getting into not valid stack address with my binary file.

if (((*(__IO uint32_t*)USER_FLASH_FIRST_PAGE_ADDRESS) & 0x2FFE0000 ) == 0x20000000)
{
/* Jump to user application */
JumpAddress = *(__IO uint32_t*) (USER_FLASH_FIRST_PAGE_ADDRESS + 4);
Jump_To_Application = (pFunction) JumpAddress;
/* Initialize user application's Stack Pointer */
__set_MSP(*(__IO uint32_t*) USER_FLASH_FIRST_PAGE_ADDRESS);
Jump_To_Application();
/* do nothing */
while(1);
}
else
{/* Otherwise, do nothing */
/* LED3 (RED) ON to indicate bad software (when not valid stack address) */
BSP_LED_Init(LED3);
BSP_LED_On(LED3);
/* do nothing */
while(1);
}

Please let me know what am I missing.

Thanks & Regards

Get serial output working so you can output useful diagnostic information. 

Check your binary, what are the initial two 32-bit words there.

What do you set the initial stack value too

 Check startup.s and the Linker script .ld file.

Hello Tesla DeLorean,

Thanks for the reply,

Check your binary, what are the initial two 32-bit words there.

20080000 080207E5  This is the first two 32 bit words which is not going to satisfy the condition in IAP code.

What do you set the initial stack value too

You mean the vector offset, I set the vector offset with 0x20000.

 Check startup.s and the Linker script .ld file.

 I am sharing the linker file and startup.s below, Can you please check if I am making any mistake.
