@par Hardware and Software environment
- This application runs on STM32F429xx/STM32F439xx devices.
- This application has been tested with STMicroelectronics STM324x9I-EVAL RevB
evaluation boards and can be easily tailored to any other supported device
and development board.

| Firmware | The IAP program is located at 0x08000000. The Flash | |
| | routines (program/erase) are executed from the Flash | |
| | memory. | |
| | The size of this program is about 16 Kbytes and | |
| | programmed on: | Sector 0 |
| | ------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------|
| | The user application (image to be downloaded with the | |
| | IAP) will be programmed starting from address | |
| | (uint32_t)0x08004000(1). | (Sector 1 - Sector 23) |
| | The maximum size of the image to be loaded is: | 3698 bytes |
| | ------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------|
| | The image is uploaded with the IAP from the STM32F4xx | 11 Kbytes |
| | internal Flash. | (Sector 1) |
| | The size of the image to be uploaded is: | |
|----------------|-------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------|
| Hardware | Push-button (active level: high) | Key push-button |
| | | connected to pin PC13 |
| | ------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------|
| | USART used | USART (CN8) |
\**************************************************************************************************/
(1) User application location address is defined in the flash_if.h file as:
#define APPLICATION_ADDRESS ((uint32_t)0x08004000)
To modify it, change the default value to the desired one. Note that the application must be linked
relatively to the new address too.
Following picture illustrates the situation in program memory:

- STM324x9I-EVAL RevB Set-up
- Connect a null-modem female/female RS232 cable between the boards DB9 connector
CN8 (USART) and PC serial port.
(make sure that jumper JP7 is RS232_RX position pos 1-2).
- Hold the Key push-button during reset to enter the IAP.
- Terminal configuration:
- Word Length = 8 Bits
- One Stop Bit
- No parity
- BaudRate = 115200 baud
- flow control: None
- Ymodem protocol is using CRC16 by default. To switch to checksum, comment #define CRC16_F
in ymodem.c
@par How to use it?
In order to make the program work, you must do the following:
1. Generate a binary image for the program provided in the
"IAP/IAP_Binary_Template" project directory.
2. Program the internal Flash with the IAP (see below)
3. Open HyperTerminal window using the settings already defined in section
"Hardware and Software environment"
4. To run the IAP driver, keep the Key push-button pressed at Reset.
The IAP main menu is then displayed on the HyperTerminal window.
5. To download an application, press 1 and use the Ymodem protocol
In order to load the IAP code, you have do the following:
- EWARM:
- Open the Project.eww workspace
- Rebuild all files: Project->Rebuild all
- Load project image: Project->Debug
- Run program: Debug->Go(F5)
- MDK-ARM:
- Open the Project.uvproj project
- Rebuild all files: Project->Rebuild all target files
- Load project image: Debug->Start/Stop Debug Session
- Run program: Debug->Run (F5)
- STM32CubeIDE:
- Open STM32CubeIDE toolchain
- Browse to the STM32CubeIDE workspace directory, select the project (.project file in \IAP_Main\STM32CubeIDE \STM324x9I-EVAL directory).
- Rebuild all project files: Select the project in the "Project explorer" window then click on Project->build project menu.
- Run program: Run->Debug
