Hi,
Last month I was having some issues loading the compiled code to the board
without OpenOCD or JLink, just using GDB extended-remote mode, that seems
to be solved now - Thanks Marko and Chris for the help!
So, I edited the linker script to flash the board at address 0x0 (removed
the header offset) and then building the targets and loading the outputted
.elf file onto the board via GDB "load" command.
And it worked fine for the blinky app and the bletest app, I can even scan
the bletest when set as advertiser on my android phone so the ble stack
seems to be working fine too. The console over UART also works.
But couldn't get blecent or bleprph to work. Both fail.
(Still can't use GDB "restore" on extended-remote, gives me "Writing to
flash memory forbidden in this context" =/ )
Here are my target settings:
newt target show
targets/my_blinky_sim
app=apps/blinky
bsp=@apache-mynewt-core/hw/bsp/native
build_profile=debug
targets/nrf51_blecent
app=@apache-mynewt-core/apps/blecent
bsp=@apache-mynewt-core/hw/bsp/nrf51dk-16kbram
build_profile=optimized
targets/nrf51_bleprph
app=@apache-mynewt-core/apps/bleprph
bsp=@apache-mynewt-core/hw/bsp/nrf51dk-16kbram
build_profile=optimized
targets/nrf51_bletest
app=@apache-mynewt-core/apps/bletest
bsp=@apache-mynewt-core/hw/bsp/nrf51dk-16kbram
build_profile=optimized
targets/nrf51_blinky
app=apps/blinky
bsp=@apache-mynewt-core/hw/bsp/nrf51dk-16kbram
build_profile=optimized
(Build runs fine! no ram or flash errors.)
On the gdb console I got this:
"Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
Reset_Handler ()
at
repos/apache-mynewt-core/hw/bsp/nrf51dk-16kbram/src/arch/cortex_m0/gcc_startup_nrf51.s:140
140 MOVS R1, #NRF_POWER_RAMONx_RAMxON_ONMODE_Msk"
and over UART I got:
"0:Assert @ 0x10eeb
0:Unhandled interrupt (2), exception sp 0x20000b68"
If I check the assertion error at 0x10eeb shown on the UART console above
it reads "<ble_hci_ram_pkg_init+42>: 0x003a0cbd" on GDB.
"$newt version" outputs "Apache Newt (incubating) version: 1.0.0.b2"
If I try to run it step by step, somewhere in the execution it shows
"OS_INVALID_PARM" and "OS_MEM_NOT_ALIGNED"
Also, tried to run on previous tags (changed both newt tool and mynewt
core, new mynewt project dir) like mynewt_1_0_0_b1_tag, same "Unhandled
interrupt (2)" error for both bleprph and blecent.
Any thoughts why bletest works and other apps doesn't? Any other useful
information I could provide? Could it be related to unaligned memory blocks
due to the modified linker script?
Thanks!!
Marcos S.
