Writing the Program in both Flash bank A and Flash bank B in LPC43S57

Hi,

I am using LPC43S57 controller.

The program size is 335K bytes. Flash bank A size is 512kB and around 200kB is used by the bootloader and remaining 312kB is not enough for the program.

There is Flash bank B with size of 512kB. But when I configure the scatter file to use the Flash bank B the program doesn't executes.

Below I have attached the scatter file configuration.

   ER_IROM2 0x1B010000 0x00040000  ; execution address and size    Flash Bank A
  {
	.ANY (+RO)
  }
}

If anyone has the solution or example code to use both the Flash bank A and B, Kindly share it with me.

  • Hi,

    Thank you for the support. The above issue is resolved.
    In the bootloader the reserved memory area was not taken into consideration, Hence it was trying to access the reserved memory.
