Hello All,
I am working on STM32F4 series & using Keiluvision4 as my IDE. In the startup file of my project i am reserving 4bytes space just after the vector table in the flash that would hold the Image size of that project.
I am reserving 4byte space at 0x08000200 using SPACE directive
Now I want that when I compile this project then the Image size of the project will be written to the reserved space(0x08000200) in flash.
I don't want to use the .map file for determining the Image size.
Thanks, Amit
Seems like an odd approach, there are unused vector entries that would suffice without carving out space in the middle of a code region.
Well you could post-process the AXF/ELF file, or use some AWK script against the .MAP file, it's not like you have to do such things manually.
On an ARM9 platform I used something like this to force the Linker to fix up it's own internal sizes into a know location.
IMPORT ||Image$$ER_IROM1$$RO$$Length|| IMPORT ||Image$$RW_IRAM1$$RW$$Length|| ... DCD ||Image$$ER_IROM1$$RO$$Length||+\ ||Image$$RW_IRAM1$$RW$$Length||
Thank u Westonsupermare Pier IMPORT & DCD worked, now i am able to obtain the Image size post compilation
Thanks once again :-)
