In a Bootloadable project, I need to access CyResetStatus but it always says CY_RESET_SW, regardless of how the chip reset.

This is caused by the  the bootloader running on startup, which exits with CySoftwareReset(). This overwrites whatever was in CyResetStatus previously.

Is there a way for the Bootloadable project to correctly determine the reset status as seen by the Bootloader?

Or, is there a way for the bootloader to copy that information somewhere for the Bootloadable to read? For instance, how could I create a NOINIT variable in both projects that would share the same memory location?

    A global in both projects:   CY_SECTION(".reset_info") volatile struct t_reset_info reset_info; Then in the linker script of each project:   MEMORY { rom (rx) : ORIGIN = 0x0, LENGTH = 262144 ram (rwx) : ORIGIN = 0x20000000 - (65536 / 2), LENGTH = 65536 - 128 nld (rw) : ORIGIN = 0x20000000Read more

    A global in both projects:

     

    CY_SECTION(".reset_info") volatile struct t_reset_info reset_info;

    Then in the linker script of each project:

     

    MEMORY
    {
    	rom (rx) : ORIGIN = 0x0, LENGTH = 262144
    	ram (rwx) : ORIGIN = 0x20000000 - (65536 / 2), LENGTH = 65536 - 128
        nld (rw) : ORIGIN = 0x20000000 - 128 / 2, LENGTH = 128
    }
    
    .reset_info(NOLOAD) : ALIGN(8)
    {
        KEEP(*(.reset_info))
    } > nld
    

     

     

    That way, it’s certain that the two programs will both have access to the same NOLOAD memory, and neither will corrupt it by having the memory used for anything else.

Steps to run a Bootloader from RAM

For a project (using Renesas R7FA2L1AB2DFL), a bootloader which can update our firmware is needed. We have decided to copy this bootloader in RAM, and execute it from there since otherwise code flash memory cannot be programmed. We plan to access this bootloader by setting a certain random KEY in no init RAM (setting this is triggered by an external command) and then triggering a reset. Upon reset and before jumping into our application, we check for this KEY and whether it is set or not. If it is set, we can copy our bootloader from code flash to RAM, and proceed to flash the memory.

For me, it is still unclear what a good way would be to realize this process. There are a couple of points in particular

  • Where do I actually copy the bootloader from FLASH to RAM, can I do this best in the FSP system.c file?
  • How do I take preinitialized variables into account?
  • How do I manage that the linker takes into account that the bootloader is executed from SRAM (absolute vs relative addresses)?

    The FSP flash driver will run from RAM if code flash programming is enabled in the configuration of the driver, for the parts of the flash driver driver that actually do the programming or erasing.

    Hi Raja,

    First check if your baudrate is not changed by using SPS1 Register. If SPS1 register is not changed, then Please try to check your MCU clock first , it may be changed, Not call in systeminit function because in bootloader code, cgc_create() function already call.

    You can comment this cgc_create() function in systeminit file, then it will work.

     

    Please feel free to write us for further support.

    Thanks & Regards
