Work-area is ta a parameter used by OpenOCD only, it has nothing to do with STM32 special features. OpenOCD uploads a block of final code (from .hex or whatever) to RAM, and runs a code that copies that to flash. Work-area is just a space that can be used for that purpose. Bigger work-area means fewer "rounds" of uploading code and saving that to flash => faster upload. When the work-area size you give is too big (RAM is smaller), than OpenOCD will just detect that and use less. But when you give too little (RAM is bigger), the upload takes longer. In 99% of cases it's perfectly safe to use all RAM for work-area. That's why I just give 20kB for that parameter, as that STM32 has 20kB of RAM. 4\/3!! _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
