Hello Everyone,
I am just starting with a new board, a landboard with a nxp LPC1768.
I do not understand why i go in debug mode the starting point of my PC is 0x1fff0080
I use the startup given in keil 4 lite. This address is not random. In fact when I'm also trying with different example,
written in c, the starting point is the main of the c file, but if i hit the reset button, again the starting point is that address.
this is the disassembly but i cannot find nothing on the startup that redirect to that address.

When i debug in simulation mode instead, the starting point is the reset Handles...
PRESERVE8 THUMB ; Vector Table Mapped to Address 0 at Reset AREA RESET, DATA, READONLY EXPORT __Vectors __Vectors DCD __initial_sp ; Top of Stack DCD Reset_Handler ; Reset Handler ..... IF :LNOT::DEF:NO_CRP AREA |.ARM.__at_0x02FC|, CODE, READONLY CRP_Key DCD 0xFFFFFFFF ENDIF AREA |.text|, CODE, READONLY ; Reset Handler Reset_Handler PROC my code ENDP
Can you please help me to understand what i'm wrong?
Thank you
Sorry you did not see a response on this. The Reset_Handler is indeed where execution begins, and can be thought of as the low-level entry point. This will ultimately call __main, the C library init code, which eventually calls main(), the standard start of the code from a C perspective.The debugger allows you to skip through this code (you may not wish to consider what is happening therein), with the 'run to main()' check box in the debugger configuration.
Check what boot options your device has, via external strapping or whatever, 0x1FFFxxxx is suggestive of the device's ROM as opposed to user FLASH at 0x08000000
Check what memory is mapped/shadowed at zero, and if that looks like the vector table for your code or not.
