Hi,

I had modify example secondary USB bootloader of LPC1700 series from NXP website to secondary serial bootloader. When I create a user application with CMSIS library and change the starting address at 0x3000. It's work well but I create with mbed library and change the starting address at 0x3000 (create using offline comlplier). It's can't work. How to create the user application with mbed library and change the starting address? Oh, I am sorry about my english language if you can't understand.

I have my problem closed to the above question. I try with off line compiler uVision.

I used uVision from Keil with cmsis library. I wrote bootloader and point the start application address to 0x2000. After test with bootloader and update a new application. The new updated application work fine.

But when I used mbed library instead of using cmsis with bootloader and point to start application address to 0x2000. The new updated application is not work.

Q: 1. How I can change the start application address to 0x2000?

Q: 2. Is need to change at linker script ? since with cmsis lib it success but with mbed lib it fail?

you can edit the scatter file so that offline mbed binary is compiled to 0x2000, but even then it does not start properly.. :( not sure why

Could someone from mBed please comment on this.

Is there a solution to this problem with the mBed .bin not able load via a secondary USB bootloader (ala NXP's app note AN10866) ?

bump. same issue. mbed people help!

This should work for the LPC1768, but seems you have a K64F. The most likely cause of this, is the flash interrupt vector locations (and that they don't simply put bootloader in the end of the flash, which is possible with ARM MCUs, but this is less work for them, and more work for the user, so they prefer it I guess).

This is LPC1768 interrupt vector table relocation code: https://developer.mbed.org/users/mbed_official/code/mbed-src/file/034e698bc035/targets/cmsis/TARGET_NXP/TARGET_LPC176X/cmsis_nvic.c

This is for K64F: https://developer.mbed.org/users/mbed_official/code/mbed-src/file/034e698bc035/targets/cmsis/TARGET_Freescale/TARGET_MCU_K64F/cmsis_nvic.c

Difference is that LPC1768 does the first run check by looking if it is currently located in RAM or not. (This wasn't the case originally, it has been modified for this reason). The K64F only checks if it is equal to the normal location, and then moves it. But if the normal location is not where it is, it will never be moved and go horribly wrong.

So you need to modify that check in mbed-src: either you can do the same as LPC1768 does (with correct address for K64F), or alternatively you can simply check if it is not equal to the RAM address. If it then works properly you can submit pull request on mbed github.
