I’m developing IoT app in LPC54628Expresso board with Mbed 5.14.2.
First, I created an example of blinky in Mbed Online Compiler and exported in IAR program.
Then I modify program in local IAR IDE which version is 8.32.1.
It’s OK at first until I need to increase heap size due to TLS application.
Then I increase the heap size to exceed 0x14000, for example, 0x18000.
To reach that, I add SRAMX, add it to DATA_region.
/* SRAMX */
define symbol __SRAMX_start = 0x04000000;
define symbol __SRAMX_end = 0x04007FFF;
define region DATA_region = mem:[from m_data_start to m_data_end]
| mem:[from __SRAMX_start to __SRAMX_end]
| mem:[from m_usb_sram_start to m_usb_sram_end];
place in DATA_region { readwrite, zi, block CSTACK, block HEAP};
After modification of icf file, if I set heap size 0x14000 in cfg file, it’s OK in running.
If I set heap size 0x18000, build is successful but it causes HardFault at the beginning of running.
I set a breakpoint in mbed_init. It can stop there and after step over mbed_sdk_init(), it throws HardFault.
Then I step into mbed_sdk_init, it throws HardFault after step over BOARD_BootClockFROHF96M();
BTW, I tested similar config of icf file in NXP SDK 2.6.0 lwip_httpsrv examples and also add SRAMX, it runs OK even I set heap size to 0x1C000.
Add more clue:
HardFault status register (0xE000ED2C) value is 0x40000000
Which means need to refer other fault register.
MemManage Fault Status Register (0xE000ED28) value is 0x82
Look at MMFAR register (0xE000ED34), its value is 0x400’0648 which is address of system_LPC54628.o
So is that mean memory in SRAMX is not permitted by Mbed?
