Hi,

How can i know current size of image store in internal flash of CC2530 downloaded from IAR using CCDebugger.

I need to see program size of image, CRC if calculated, like info stored in OTA_CrcControl_t.

When we do OTAConverter.exe for generate .zigbee image, this header have this info inside. But for current original image store in flash of CC2530 from IAR cc-debugger directly,It doesn't have it.

For now it is CRC[0] 0x2013, and CRC[1] 0x2013 and program size 0xFFFF,

You can check map file to know it.

Thanks for reply.
It not for me to see size of it.

But during running of code through bootloader, it need to know size of current running flash, so it copy it to external flash for backup.

I don't think you can know it from boot loader.

It's ok to read it during application code as well.

I was thinking any way to write current image program size and crc of it in location of flash HAL_OTA_CRC_ADDR
where OTAConverter.exe in general writes for generating .zigbee image for OTA.

But compiler in IAR dont do it.
SO, i was thinking might be some settings in IAR to enable it.
So when write image from CC-debugger to CC2530 it also write this info.

Thanks,

As I know, there is no such capability in IAR and CC-DEbugger/Flash Programmer.
