Any examples on working with memory executables?
Posted: Thu Jul 11, 2019 5:29 pm
Hi,
I'm trying to execute a bit bunch of pre-compiled binary on the device. The code seems like reads okay, and the content is correct as well, I've also move the memory to IRAM, which I think is executable. But the code crashes with InstrFetchProhibited, which is quite confusing here. What might be the cause of the error?
here's the code to load the binary
and this is the crash info.
If there are any linker problem I would expect it crashes after the entrance of the function, but looks like it did crashes in before enter the function, what might be the cause here?

here's the code to load the binary
Code: Select all
void *data;
//size_t alloc;
//MP_PLAT_ALLOC_EXEC(len, &data, &alloc);
data = malloc(len);
read_bytes(reader, data, len);
void *iram_data = heap_caps_realloc(data,len,MALLOC_CAP_EXEC);
free(data);
char* entry = iram_data+28;
printf("func start %p from %p,content is ",entry,iram_data);
for(int i =0;i<10;i++)
{
printf("%02x ",*(entry+i));
}
and this is the crash info.
the location where it crashes PC seems exactly equals the location I realloc for execution, And this is the disassembly of the code where it starts.len number is 336
func start 0x3ffececc from 0x3ffeceb0,content is 36 41 00 38 02 a1 f7 ff 42 23 rc loaded 0x3f95bf30
