Thanks Anton,

I will try this right away. And good spotting that start-address. I 
think I removed the 3 and somehow didn't replace it with a 0. I would 
have had a hard time debugging that I think. I'm using an STM32F103RB 
b.t.w. (Olimexino-STM board).

About that DFU-loader, do you have to do anything special to be able to 
use fpc, besides modifying your start-address ? Any links to read more 
about it ?
Now I'm using jtag to flash and debug my software.
