Hello,
I'm working on a HC912DG128A.
Apparently, it is possible to put a bootloader in the non-banked memory
($4000-$7FFF and $C000-$FFFF). You can also erase and program banked
memory (6 pages from $8000-$BFFF).
My problem is about the predefined sections that must be in non-banked
memory : ROM_VAR (application constant variables), STRINGS
(application string constants), COPY (initialization values for the
application variables).
If the new code that the bootloader will put in flash memory contains
new variables, it will create changes in these sections, so it won't
work ?
Is it possible to put these sections in banked memory ?
Does anybody have a solution ?
Am I obliged to copy and run the bootloader in RAM ?

you should look at the Serial Bootloader from Freescale AN2153. The
document
explains how he built the bootloader and why you need to move it to move the
bootloader to RAM. You will also find the SW files within AN2153_SW.

AN2166 is about erasing and programming flash EEPROM on DG128A and explains
that
you can run a program in non-banked memory to erase or flash banked memory.
So why not a bootloader ?

The DG128 has two blocks. You can run a program in one block to program
the
other block. However, if you want to program parts of the same block that
the bootlader is in then you have to be running the code from RAM. When I
created a bootloader I simply copied the few small writing routines into RAM
rather than the entire bootloader.

I'd like to program only one part but apparently, some sections used by
the
assembler must be in the same part than the bootloader (see my first post).
I'm trying to use the bootloader without copying it in RAM because the examples
I've found use "pcr" or relative addressing mode and my assembler fails with
that. The bootloader is in assembler and I put it in a C program by using the
"asm" command. I have a lot of label addressing mode errors or something like
this.
Do I have to put the bootloader in an asm file, then assembly it and then
include it in the main project with the C program ? > The DG128 has two blocks. You can run a program in one block to program the

Have you tried codewarrior special edition? This free edition will allow
you
to compile, program and debug up to 12k of user code. The version I have
(3.1) does support relative addressing (pcr).

I am digging back in memory here so this may not be 100%. I made my
bootloader lie in f800 to ffff and I did not use any pcr addressing. for the
pseudovector table I simply did something along the lines of (in pseudocode)
FFDO:
ldx FFD0 - BOOTBLOCKSIZE
jmp 0,x
I did one of these labels and offsets for each possible interrupt.
For the Flash writing routines, instead of using PCR, I simply wrote it carefully in a fashion that would allow a jump to that address in RAM (where the routine would be copied to) and then, within that routine, used all relative addressing. Before I jumped to ram I woudl save the PC on the stack. At the end of the routine I think I simply popped the top of the stack into the program counter to return to FLASH. I would have to double check but if I recall, that is pretty close to what I did.
Easier than it sounds I am sure. :)
