Can't get rom.bin to boot

Question

I'm trying to build a release version of my application. When I ftp the rom.bin file, I see the following come out the serial port:

Code:

Download complete, writing to flash...
Firmware updated, quit the session to restart.
Resetting the system in 2 seconds...

Starting TFTP recovery...

I never boots back up. At that point, the only way I can run is with the JTAG. What am I doing wrong?

I'm using:
Digi ESP for NET+OS
Version: 1.4.0
Build id: 03132009 NET+OS 7.4.2

Answer 1

I'm also having a problem with image.bin:

Code:

Checksum passed, writing to flash...
_NAAppOffsetInFlash or _NABackupRecoveryOffsetInFlash in the linker customizatiom file is set incorrectly.  
The application image must start on a sector boundary.
Failed to write flash [-8]

Here's my flash memory map:

Total Flash Size: 4096K
Bootloader: 64K
Application Image: 832K
Backup Image: Disabled
Unused Space: Disabled
File System: 3072K
NVRAM: 128K

Answer 2

check rom.bin properties and make sure it is under 64k, otherwise it will corrupt top of the rom.bin

Answer 3

Also your offset for your application (see bootldr.dat) needs to be a multiple of 0x10000 (64k), you can't start writing an image.bin in the middle of a sector of flash.

Answer 4

In recent BSP updates digi added a new feature
" ... Now use the WAKE UP button for forced recovery ..." i.e. TFTP

This is triggered by the SW_CONG dip switch on the development board

See customizeBootloader.c in platform folder
