How to jump to my Application from my bootloader

[gabrielcuellar]

Hi, I am built my bootloader but I have a problem and I can jump to the address of my App.
The idea of this bootloader is only write in the ROM a code store in some vars, that is equal to the content of a file .bin of a project simple blinky and then run this code.
The write is work perfectly, but the jump I can`t perform.

Code: Select all

#include <asf.h>


/// Cortex-M3 Code region start
#define CM4_CODE_START      0x00400000
/// Cortex-M3 Code region end
#define CM4_CODE_END        0x1FFFFFFF
/// Cortex-M3 SRAM region end
#define CM4_SRAM_START      0x20000000
/// Cortex-M3 SRAM region end
#define CM4_SRAM_END        0x20400000

I been reading, about the instruction set ASM and I just can find about the STACK POINTER and link register, maybe the PC when it`s running in some place match with a POP instruction, and this is apparently the problem, but I can`t resolve this.
I try download the stack with POP and load in the register Link with the address of my app, and then the same address, in the stack pointer, and then BLX address here realize the jump but in some point is PC jump to somewhere without control.

[tsvoipio]

The blx instruction is OK for a transfer to client code, but a bx will also do. For the Cortex Thumb, you need to be sure that the contents of the register containing the address is odd (lowest bit = 1).

1. Which addresses is your loader using?

2. Which addresses is your blinky program using?

If you have the linker maps or ELF files of the programs, it should be easy to get the address ranges in use.

The GNU linker produces the link map with -Map=mapfile, or given to GCC -WL,-Map=mapfile.
You can list the memory sections in an ELF file with the objdump utility:
arm-none-elf-objdump -h myfilename.elf

Hi thanks for the replay, my app begins in the address 0x4FE200 and finish in (0x004FEC00 -1), I have this in a pointer called
pul_test_page = 0x4FE200
my function "binary_exec(void * vStart)" is in address 0x400504

to resolve this the pointer must be 0x4FE201?

[tsvoipio]

Hi thanks for the replay, my app begins in the address 0x4FE200 and finish in (0x004FEC00 -1), I have this in a pointer called
pul_test_page = 0x4FE200
my function "binary_exec(void * vStart)" is in address 0x400504

to resolve this the pointer must be 0x4FE201?

1. Did you look at the link maps of a) the boot loader and b) the application?

2. No. The start address is picked from the vector at the start of your binary.
As it is in the code you showed, the code pointer is correctly odd, but far
from the address you say it should point at.

The start pointer in your firmware image is 0x00400435, which is a Thumb
vector to address 0x00400434. I suspect that you're attempting to jump
into the middle of your boot loader instead of the target code.

The ARM/Thumb code cannot moved to a different location from the place
it was located into by the linker. There are exceptions in position-independent
code, but I did not see your code as such.

The fact is like you say the jump is realize to in midlle of my bootloader code, and is not the intention, I want jump to the address 0x004FF200 because I wrote the bin(blinky) there. when I jump using r0=0x004ff200 and then blx r0 the PC Jump there but my app no execute. In some moment the PC return of the _binExec()

[tsvoipio]

Now your situation is:

-boot: 0x00400000 - 0x0040179b
-blinky: 0x00400000 - 0x00400c7b,

so your blinky is located completely on top of the boot code. As it is now, the blinky code cannot run in any other location than starting at 0x00400000.

You have to select two different flash areas for the boot and run codes. I'm starting boot code at 0x00400000 and the run code at 0x00410000, which is comfortably out of the flash erase segment of the boot code, and there is enough space for the boot to include TCP/IP network boot code (BOOTP + TFTP).

The code location is given to the linker (ld) in the linker script. You have to use two different linker scripts for the boot and run code.

Aja!!! I got it. Thank you, now I understand how it work this.
I been wrong when I use the address test in the bootloader different to the original app, set in the linker script of the app to run.

Here is the code working for me


Linker script flash.id(bootloader)

Code: Select all

 rom (rx)  : ORIGIN = 0x00400000, LENGTH = 0x00010000
