I am using lpc1768 MCU and id keiluvesion4.
I want to create dummy main() function with different name like mains().
And i want to execute my dummy mains() function.
In startup file i replaced __main into __mains.
But compiler give error.
Undefined symbol mains (referred from sartuplpc17xx.o).
Care explaining what will be the "dummy" character of this not-quite-main() function, and why you think you need something like that?
__main is different function, it unpacks the statics and later calls main
I want to update my firmware over the air.
So i want to try execute other function in the place of main().
And i want to try over write my code in internal flash via iap command.
But my current running operation system execution was stop when i erase all flash for updating code.
I already received .hex file via uart and write into internal flash.
But i failed to update in the place of old firmware.
Please give me any suggestion how can update firmware??
Please explain me how can i create dummy main() with different name?
None of that will be helped in any way by changing the names of functions.
Flash over-the-air means you will eventually have between two and three separate programs in the device: the currently running application, optionally a more-or-less complete new one in the process of loaded from the air, and a bootloader that decides which of the other two is which. For that to work, you need some assistance from the hardware (vector table base switching, and/or a full MMU). It may require building the code with position independency features for that.
See Broeker's reply - you really do not need to do that! It is pointless!

So have you looked at how others do that?
It is a very common requirement indeed - there are plenty of examples on the interwebs.
Almost certainly, NXP themselves will have an example.
The lpc1768 was the very first MCU for mbed - so there will be solutions there.
Google "lpc1768 bootloader" and "lpc1768 firmware update", etc ...
