Flash addresses?

[Ampchamp]

Hi all,

in the meantime I've ordered a ST-Link/V2-Programmer and an Olimex STM32-H103 Board and installed the "ST-Link Utility" tool.
Now, I wanted to program the application and the bootloader.
Therefore, I downloaded for both the *.bin file as well as the *.hex file.

But what was surprising to me: All files, when loaded into the "ST-Link Utility" tool, have different starting addresses:
The "stm32_sine.bin" file comes up with starting address 0x0000 0000, the "stm32_sine.hex" with 0x0800 1000.
Also the "stm32_loader.bin" file comes up with starting address 0x0000 0000, the "stm32_sine.hex" however with 0x0800 0000.

From my understanding, the bootloader should start at 0x0000 0000 and the application at 0x0800 0000.
Or am I completely wrong?
What is the reason for the different addresses?

Could someone help and tell me the correct programming addresses for the bootloader and the application?

Unfortunately, I erased the original Olimex-Programming (bootloader?) before saving it to disk.
Does this cause any problem at all?

Thanks to all,
Fabian.

boot loader starts @ 0x08000000
flash starts @ 0x08001000

.bin do not have address info coded .hex do.

Thanks dima for the information.
Now it is clear, why both *.bin files come up with address 0x0000 0000.

As I wrote, I unfortunately erased the initial programming of the Olimex, does this may cause any problems or side-effects?
Is the initial programming or parts of it needed for the correct functionality of the inverter?

Thanks,
Fabian.

You can use completely blank device, no initial stuff needed.

Hook up your ST-LinkV2 (instructions here) Flash boot-loader first and then firmware.
