07:08 <antto> since yesterday morning, my chip seems to be stuck with the same firmware, i thought i'm changing stuff but i'm not

07:08 <antto> "Built: May 13 2022 08:53:04" ... that's yesterday morning.. __DATE__ __TIME__

07:10 <antto> i see "file bin/Debug/same54_audio.elf" being executed as usual, the debug symbols also reflect the new things i added, but it made no sense

07:11 <antto> the only weird thing i did yesterday morning was.. i flashed an old firmware, not via the IDE but via direct openocd commands

07:12 <antto> something like: openocd -f interface/cmsis-dap.cfg -f target/atsame5x.cfg -c "program somethingsomething/older.elf verify reset exit"

07:13 <antto> could this have caused it?

07:23 <antto> or have i weared-out the flash memory already

07:25 <Xogium> antto: not an expert here but, what if you try and flash with the IDE now ? Not working either ?

07:25 <Xogium> how many times did you flash ?

07:26 <antto> i normally flash thru the IDE when i press "Debug/Continue" .. the IDE makes sure the project is built first and then runs the gdb/openocd stuff

07:27 <Xogium> righto

07:28 <antto> but i had some weird problems and i wanted to check an older version of the firmware.elf where i knew things definately worked, so i flashed that via openocd directly (outside the IDE)

07:30 <Xogium> so you flashed, what.. 3 or 4 times ?

07:30 <antto> okay, i tried to flash the current firmware via openocd directly

07:32 <antto> "Warn : no flash bank found for address 0x20000000" "Error: checksum mismatch - attempting binary compare" "** Verify Failed **"

07:33 <Xogium> sounds like you either got the wrong address, or that openocd doesn't detect the flash ?

07:33 <antto> oh, i think i know what might be going on

07:34 <antto> let me see

07:36 <antto> okay, figured it.. i also had tried the "sram.ld" linker script and i thought it works but didn't seem any faster

07:36 <antto> now i changed it back to the "flash.ld"

07:37 <antto> so anything i thought i tried regarding executing from SRAM had been a lie, it has been failing to program it.. silently

08:28 <antto> so i basically have no verification when i flash via the IDE

16:58 <karlp> just stop trying to run from ram like this, there's so many traps.
