Data in Bank 3

Hello, I am developing a bootloader for c8051f580 from Silabs. I follow the AN112 and AN533. I use the signature for check that app is well flashed. I put that signature at 1F1FEh so the Bank 3. I compile, link and download the omf to the chip and everything is ok. But when i generate the hex file i see that the signature is at F1FEh address. I know the problem with intel-hex about 64kB limit, so i generate the hex with ohx51 and option h386 and merge32k.

Someone could give light to my problem?...

My sequence is this:

C51==DB OE BR INTVECTOR(0x0A00) INTERVAL(3) Large

BL51 == BANKING == RS(256) PL(68) PW(78) CODE(0x0A00) BANKAREA(8000H,0FFFFH) BANK3(?CO?SIGNATURE (0xF1FE))

Using LX51
RESERVE (C:0x0000-C:0x09FF) SEGMENTS ( ?CO?SIGNATURE (B3:0xF1FE)) BANKAREA(8000H,0FFFFH)

OHX51.exe h386 MERGE32K

My memory map is something like that:

   * * * * * * *   C O D E   M E M O R Y   * * * * * * *
                    0000H     0A00H                  *** GAP ***
            CODE    0A00H     0003H     ABSOLUTE
            CODE    0A03H     0003H     ABSOLUTE
                    0A06H     0003H                  *** GAP ***
            CODE    0A09H     0003H     ABSOLUTE
            CODE    0A0CH     0005H     UNIT         ?PR?I2C_NACK?SOF
....

            CODE    9B0AH     0007H     UNIT         ?PR?GENERASTOP?I2C
            CODE    9B11H     0007H     UNIT         ?PR?I2C_INIT?SOFTI2C
            CODE    9B18H     0004H     UNIT         ?PR?WATCHDOG_REFRESH?TIME
>> RS

            * * * * * * *   C O D E   B A N K   3   * * * * * * *
                    0000H     F1FEH                  *** GAP ***
            BANK3   F1FEH     0002H     UNIT         ?CO?SIGNATURE

I think the problem is when i generate the hex, that i need to do something more...

Thanks for the time.

 do a search at the SILabs forum

I tend to recall that there is a problem with this.

I would not know, since the ARM became a commodity I refuse to bank and use an ARM instead if needed.

 sorry, just tried

the search there stinks to high heaven, I suggest you post your question at http://www.cygnal.org/scripts/Ultimate.cgi (which also stinks, quite often times out, be patient and try again till you succeed) and someone will remember posting about this and repeat the answer.

 RE: sorry, just tried

Ok Erik, thank you very much

 RE: sorry, just tried

I just found the problem. I had to code banking, because my program exceeded 32kb of the common bank so i was writing in the bank 1, just put some code in the bank 1 using code banking and use LX51 and OHX51. I also have to check the startup.a51 because some project use differents type of file. I have to compare with the one that is included with the code banking example.

Thank you very much.
