how to check if program is indeet loaded to exteral flash and runs from there?

[MNapi]

everything is working, downloads and runs, I am still not sure it the external QSPI works.

I can write and read from QSPI, checked but I am not sure if it works as external flash to load the code and run from it.

I chose to put main.c in external flash (is this the way you do ?)

 

 

but the bar in Keil only and always shows that it is loading to internal flash

How much code is actually in main.c vs all the C and HAL library code?

To know where it's running, you could make a small routine in startup.s, that loads R0 with the LR, and returns.That way it will tell you where you're calling the function from.

 

CalledWhence PROC
 EXPORT CalledWhence
 MOV R0, LR	
 BX R0
 ENDP

the main.c is less than 10K compared to the whole thing over 1M

the board is running I cannot confirm if from internal flash or external, I might still be missing something
