Project settings In Red suite to change data from 0xFF to 0x00 for remaining flash memory.

Gunjan Bhavsar7

Hi everyone,

I am working with LM4F232H5QC evaluation board and for debugging I am using Red suite 4 tool.

I want some information about project settings in red suite 4 for following.

Suppose I am allocating 8 kb space in the flash for my code(0x0000 to 0x1FFF). But when I download my code it's taking approx 7kb space(0x0000 to approx 1BFF). The remaining memory locations(from 1C00 to 1FFF) will contain no data(0xFF).

I want to know that is there any project settings by which i can make the data of the remaining location mentioned above to 0x00 instead of 0xFF?

Regards,

Gunjan

    Can't speak towards your Code Red - however here's how IAR achieves your objective.  (my hope is that this aids your effort)

    This is within, "Project > Options" - perhaps yours employs similar.   (Red forum also may assist)

    If CodeRed doesn't support this directly (have you actually asked them?), there are 3rd-party tools which will do this.

    Try googling bin2hex, srecord, objcopy, etc,...

    Good - but not as good as, "automatic."  And your beloved Keil - has it that facility?  

    (private aside to guru - rumored, "reduced consulting rates," during Olympics...?)

    I've never had reason to find out.

    au contraire, mon ami - methinks premium rates at such a Time of National Distraction...!

    Au contraire indeed - sacre bleu!   Guru cleverness & "fun-side" on high display - "demain" you will mock my C constructs and BLDC advice/urgings.  (presently unheeded... maintenant - ou est mon "franglais?")

    Hi guys,

    I am neither able to find any project settings on red suite support forum nor any third party tools by googling.

    I want same thing which you people have mentioned in IAR.

    please help me in this.

    Regards,

    Hello CB1,

    As a long-time Keil advocate and user, I'm impressed and trying not to drool!  With IAR's recent jump in the CoreMark benchmark, and now this nice checksum ability, maybe I should review my options before signing back up...  Let's hope Keil is working and polishing feverishly so that I can stay true.

    Regards,

    Dave

    Or not!   (fairly clear that this reporter is...)   Like to claim "superior cunning" for selection - instead vectored away from Keil toward IAR when - many moons ago - Keil code limited "free" to 16KB - IAR trumped w/32KB.  (dumb luck/effort/showing up ...   sometimes do pay off....)

    @Gunjan/others:

    Easy solution - IAR provides free, 32KB code limited version of their ARM (and beyond) Compiler/IDE.   Do NOT download and "start" with unlimited code-size!   Do not!  

    Far better to learn/experiment w/unlimited time version - then after you've mastered - if you must - download "ticking" IDE - and do not sleep...

    However, Keil does have the facility to integrate with external tools, and to perform an arbitrary user-defined operation at the end of the build.

    See this application note for an example: http://www.keil.com/appnotes/files/apnt_159.pdf  (you may recognise the author attribution at the end...)

    Oh - exalted guru one, doust thou not yet recognize, "Warterloo" - when appears in such clear sight?  (apologies to the bard...) 

    How soon before hallowed UK counsel harks, "Spin entirely ye own - with unending hooks/dangles and promise of "daily/hourly," hangs/crashes/data-gobbling.  Simply use the facility!

    ARM (especially M4) challenging enough - entering battle with hacked/home-brew IDE not best tack for those seeking home port and storm closing strong astern...

    C'est fini...
