USB secondary ISP bootloader for LPC23xx with RTX Kernel problem

that is exactly what I am saying. an application that uses these macros, makes its startup file copy the vectors and set MEMMAP for it (have a look in the startup file - search for 'memmap'). this should be done in the application. however, you can do the mapping manually in the bootloader instead - using memcpy and MEMMAP. about my question: if you have a piece of code (bootloader) than jumps to software that is intended to handle interrupts, that jumps in its turn to an RTX application (no interrupts handling intended here), then the handling will be a little different: the mid section will use the macros to remap the interrupt vectors, but the startup file of the application must do something like this:

LDR   R0,=RAM_BASE+0x28
LDR   R1, =SWI_Handler
STR   R1, [R0]

to copy the SWI handler of application to the internal memory - otherwise RTX will not start. this arrangement makes sure all interrupts but the SWI will be handled in the mid section software.
just one more comment: too bad you posted and never correct code that is clearly misleading...

Corrected version of above file is:
rapidshare.com/.../non_RTX_bootloader_with_RTX_application_for_lpc2378.rar
(This works with new RTX (from v3.40) of uVision). Old version is deleted from rapidshare.

Please note that in my case (in this example)

RAM_INTVEC REMAP RAM_MODE

ASM option for startup file does not remap IVT as Tamir Michael suggested. I have to say

memcpy((char *)0x40000000, (char *)(0x00002000), 64);

(see __rt_entry...)

This is part of startup file that has to do with those macros:

; Memory Mapping (when Interrupt Vectors are in RAM)
MEMMAP          EQU     0xE01FC040      ; Memory Mapping Control
                IF      :DEF:REMAP
                LDR     R0, =MEMMAP
                IF      :DEF:RAM_MODE
                MOV     R1, #2
                ELSE
                MOV     R1, #1
                ENDIF
                STR     R1, [R0]
                ENDIF

So uVision generated REMAP and RAM_MODE, but not a RAM_INTVEC part... And I guess that this is the reason why vectors are not remapped as in Tamir's case, but have to be copied manually in my case...

wait a minute. the following instructions should reside in your startup file, just above the code you quoted:

; Copy Exception Vectors to Internal RAM ---------------------------------------

                IF      :DEF:RAM_INTVEC
                ADR     R8, Vectors         ; Source
                LDR     R9, =RAM_BASE       ; Destination
                LDMIA   R8!, {R0-R7}        ; Load Vectors
                STMIA   R9!, {R0-R7}        ; Store Vectors
                LDMIA   R8!, {R0-R7}        ; Load Handler Addresses
                STMIA   R9!, {R0-R7}        ; Store Handler Addresses
                ENDIF

I am using the remapping macros without a problem.

Exactly, that is missing!
I copied this file from Keil...
RAM_BASE, is undefined in my project. Can you please tell me from where did you copy your .s file? This one is Keil's, but is obviously missing something...

if you look at the lastest released LPC2400.s, line 61 looks like this:

RAM_BASE        EQU     0x40000000

don't forget to bless your "rapidshare" clients with your findings :-)

Ave, Tamir!

This gave me a lot of headache!
Startup file when I started my project was 20k. Today it is 37k.
I jus needeed to copy .s file from "Keil\ARM\Startup\Philips\" to my project over old one and now everything is defined.
I've read a bunch of documents searching why those macros won't work :)

Thanks once more!

You're welcome.

This is the final version of the example, all works as it should:
