Hi Peter,
Thanks for the info....that solved the IAP issue!!Works prefectly now!
 
As regards the second problem/issue, The startup file Im using just initialises the exception vectors, stacks and branches to main(). Do I need another assembly routine to move the data from Flash to RAM?? I thought the scatterloading file set that up?
The problem I have is that any global variables or buffers in the code seem to cause the error! I can remove the problem by using local variables and passing them between functions but this is less than pretty!!!
 
Thanks,
David

Does anybody know how or if I have to turn on interworking for ADS?

Hi David, yes you need to turn on interworking, however this is done 
for you automatically if you create an application using the 
Thumb/ARM interworking template. This is convenient as you simply 
place source files to be built as ARM code in the ARM subproject, 
and the IDE takes care of all the other details.

Alternatively, you'll find the interworking tickbox in the project 
settings dialog, under the ATPCS tab when you select the assembler, 
ARM C compiler or Thumb C compiler. A major irritation (for me 
anyway) is that you have to set this for each subproject (Thumb and 
ARM), each target (Debug, DebugRel, Release) and each tool (asm, C, 
C++) that you use.

it...its like its not there!!

Can I ask first if you have a main() function in your project? If 
you have, then the linker pulls in some C-startup code, which 
includes a section to move code and initialised data from their load 
positions (in Flash) to their execute positions in RAM.

If not, you have to write your own code snippets in the reset 
handler to move the code and data around. Conveniently, the linker 
will generate symbols giving you the load address, execution 
address, and length of each region to be moved. See page 4-2 of the 
Linker and Utilities guide, for a description of the format for 
these symbols.

HTH, Peter.
