Hard Fault on cortex M3 NXP

Alessandro Spinetti
Note: This was originally posted on 20th June 2011 at http://forums.arm.com

I've coded a small program to download in a usb memory some data acquired from the LPC1768 Cortex M3.
I use IAR EW to code and J-Link LITE to program/debug the code.

So, when I test my program with debugger connected (either in debug or release mode) it works fine.

When I program the micro and run it without the debugger connected I obtain an Hard Fault exception.

When I check the value of HFSR it return 0x80000000 -> DEBUGEVT = 1 ?

Why? Where is my fault?

Thanks.

    The most likely issue is that the program has called a function which try to communicate with the debugger.
    A breakpoint (BKPT) instruction is executed, and since there is no debugger attached, it went into hardfault instead.

    Keil website has an application note about debugging fault exception:
    http://www.keil.com/appnotes/docs/apnt_209.asp

    Please try to generate a disassemble code of the program image and see if there is any BKPT instruction generated, and trace what function call could have run the BKPT function.

    Hope this helps.
