Hello,
I am developping on a firmware using a bootloader which verifies main application's CRC prior to let it start. To do this, I am generating an extra .hex file with data for bootloader added to the .hex file created by Keil.
I thought I just had to rename my .hex file with data to the name of the one generated by keil... But Keil's debugger is loading the .axf file, not the .hex one :-(
The only workaround I found was to load my .hex with data with another flash programmer, and then start debugging with Keil to have debug symbols.
Does anyone know how I could do this directly with Keil ?
Thanks a lot in advance!
You could also you the INCREMENTAL option with the LOAD debug command to load more than one hex file at once, without needing to merge / rerun a CRC on the result
This is what I am doing, but loading of my first .hex file (the one containing application's CRC) fails with keil's debugger, although I have no problem while loading it with STM32CubeProgrammer.
I am getting the error "target memory verification failure", followed by "error 57: illegal address (0x800C000). (Note: 0x800C000 is my application's starting point)
Other strange thing: if I first load my .hex with STM32CubeProgrammer, and then start a debug session with Keil, I get no error.
