uVision crashes when using ULINK

 uVision crashes when using ULINK

Hello.

I am using uVision and the codesourcery compiler for ARM cortex-3m. Target is STM32F103ZE on the ST eval board.

Project sompiles and links but when I attempt to download to flash or debug the code uVision crashes.

Any ideas?

 RE: uVision crashes when using ULINK

I've used one of those ST boards:

The ST-EVAL board doesn't need much to get it going. You just need to set up the "options" and check on the board settings... that's what I remember ... I think.

(That is if you are using the ULINK JTAG emulator)

I'm sure you've got this Project/Target section covered with 'codesourcery' but just in case you need to validate the setup, you might want to load up some example project....

Projects -->  Options for Target 'Target'

(or whatever your project name is... e.g.)
Projects -->  Options for Target 'Murmur-Maker 2000'
Projects -->  Options for Target 'Systole Snubber v7.39e'
Projects -->  Options for Target 'Known Functional Example'

This should allow you to run some basic code. You will have to modify the settings to meet your specific needs, but this should 'work' enough for you to make sure it is possible to Flash and not crash.

As far as board configuration settings... you'll have to make sure that your BOOT0 and BOOT1 switches are proper: both set to zero on the lab unit.

Go through the "UM0488 User manual STM3210E-EVAL"

http://www.st.com/stonline/products/literature/um/14220.pdf

and ensure that the jumpers are set for your needs.

Heroic work there, with that description.

Indeed. You are the main man, captain.

 RE: uVision crashes when using ULINK

Uh, thanks!

Hopefully that 'heroic' & 'main man' stuff worked for him.

I remember trying to get such boards up-n-running, and it can be a bit frustrating when there isn't enough information. Especially when something crashes.

 RE: uVision crashes when using ULINK

Well. It was trully a heroic effort - thank you, but unfortunately it did not help. uVision still crashes to -> "Send Error Report?"

You said you trust me I am handling all this in codesourcery. Hmmm, do I?

Seems I will have to read the extensive set of manuals that come with codesourcery.

Thanks again for your help, guys.
