hi,
i am using LPC-2148 and want to write some coefficients in Flash. I have
tried to use IAP code as given in the manual, but it is not working.can
anyone please guide me how to use this IAP functions for FLash read or
Write and how to select Thumb mode. I have used code as:
// IAP start location on flash
#define IAP_LOCATION 0x7FFFFFF1
// contains parameters for IAP command
unsigned int iap_command[5];
// contains results, returned by "Blankcheck sector(s)"
unsigned int iap_result[2];
// typedefinition for IAP entry function
typedef void (*IAP) (unsigned int[],unsigned int[]);
IAP IAP_Entry;
/*
* Write data to flash
*/
void IAP_Write (void)
{
IAP_Entry = (IAP) IAP_LOCATION;
// IAP write command for prepare sectors for write
// set command code
iap_command[0] = 50;
// set start sector number
iap_command[1] = 0x0A;
// set stop sector number
iap_command[2] = 0x0A;
// prepare sectors for write
IAP_Entry(iap_command,iap_result);
}
it executes fine till IAP_Entry function call. after that compiler can
not translate the instructions or something is going wrong and it goes
into unstoppable execution and also contens of memory doesn't changed.I
am new to ARM so can anyone please help me out in this
What settings have been used for building (compiler- and linker-options)? Show the complete output from the build (make).

I am not sure this is the problem but...
According to the data sheet, the IAP code uses the top 32 bytes in the
RAM and up to 128 bytes of stack space.
Make sure you don't use those top 32 bytes in your code and that there
is enough space in the stack.
Also check if the call to the IAP function though the function-pointer is relay translated to a "bx <reg>" where reg holds 0x7FFFFFF1. This should be easy to see if you step though the code with the debugger. If not you may try to compile the source of IAP_write() in thumb-mode (don't know the IAR switch for this but should be somewhere in a dialog-box). If it still does not work show the disassembly of "IAP_write()".

It seems that the compiler generated a "glue" function (ARM->thumb) to call the IAP-function, which is basically correct since the IAP-function is thumb-code. Step though the code in "disassembly view" and check what happens after BX r3 at Label ??rT0x7FFFFFF1. Does it return as expected? As already mentioned: try to compile the C-source which calls the IAP function in thumb-mode, this should avoid the glue-function. As far as I can see the disassembly shows a code generated for ARM-mode. Anyway you should ask the IAR-support since this is somehow compiler-specific. If nothing helps, call the IAP function "manually" with some (inline-)assembler code.

Thank you very much for your help.
