IAP issue with single bank flash

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 with flash base address 0x08020000 and vector offset = 0x20000 and loaded the binary file and tried to run  it is getting into not valid stack address (LED 3 is getting on ). 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

Srikanth R.

If your Initial SP is valid and in RAM, fix the test so if passes. The test is relatively crude. An SP of 0x2001fff0 should pass. If you have more than 128KB adjust the test. Or adjust the SP in the Linker Script.

Hello Tesla DeLorean,

Thanks for the response.

I am attaching my linker file below can you please explain me particularly where I need to do changes,
