when I un-comment the following lines in the linker that is when it crashes:
/* Un-comment this section to place fonts and text in external flash */
FontFlashSection :
{
*(FontFlashSection FontFlashSection.*)
*(.gnu.linkonce.r.*)
. = ALIGN(0x4);
} >QUADSPI
TextFlashSection :

} >QUADSPI

Hi,
Linker file looks good. What You see messages after You run compile?
Do You have properly initialized driver for external memory QUADSPI?
2022-10-31 06:58 AM
Why not memory mapped mode ?
2022-10-31 07:04 AM
it is configured in memory-mapped mode.
/* USER CODE BEGIN QUADSPI_Init 2 */
CSP_QUADSPI_Init();
CSP_QSPI_EnableMemoryMappedMode();
HAL_NVIC_DisableIRQ(QUADSPI_IRQn);
/* USER CODE END QUADSPI_Init 2 */
2022-10-31 07:10 AM
it compiles and runs fine. the only problem I am having is placing the TouchGfx text resources in the external memory. The icons/images are also on the external flash. it works with the icons on the external flash, but when I modified the linker to place the texts on the external flash is when I start having the hard fault issue.

Hi,
If You have hardfault when start then problem is with reading external memory.
When You start debugging after initialization QUADSPI do You see contents memory? (see picture from my project).
