Hi everybody,


I have some trouble to program my STR9 with my USB Olimix JTAG and OpenOCD (r717)

(dev board : E912 Olimex with STR912F44, JTAG : Olimex ARM-USB-OCD, i boot always from bank 0, bank1 is used for data only)


I have no problem for debug, everything works perfectly (including FreeRTOS ;-)


If I load an image, i can execute, do a reset and continue to use my device. But when i loose my power supply, the software CAN'T restart.

Is somebody who have successfully used OpenOCD - Olimex JTAG to burn a STR912 flash ?
Is somebody who have already experienced this kind of events.

Is it something wrong in my linker file ?


Any idea welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Damien

Hi Damien,

I had the same problem on STR912+Eclipse+OpenOCD. I use the same linker file, but I found that the problem was in the startup file - startup.s.

I added the following three code lines just before the _start assembly label:

---------------------------------------
.text
.arm
.section .init, "ax"


_start:
ldr pc, =NextInst
NextInst:
--------------------------------------

This solve my problem by placing the _start function in the right segment.

I hope this should help you.

Regards,
Stefano
