that is the size of the hex file that can be larger than the binary 
file. You can check the actual size by running readelf:

address@hidden:~/paparazzi/var/<AIRCRAFT>/ap$ readelf -l ap.elf

Elf file type is EXEC (Executable file)
Entry point 0x4000
There are 2 program headers, starting at offset 52

Program Headers:
  Type     Offset   VirtAddr   PhysAddr   FileSiz MemSiz  Flg Align
  LOAD     0x000078 0x00004000 0x00004000 0x20610 0x20610 R E 0x8
  LOAD     0x020688 0x40000000 0x00024610 0x00510 0x02600 RW  0x8

We have 480 kBytes of net flash memory (512k - 16k Paparazzi bootloader, 
4k persistent memory, 12k NXP bootloader) and in the above example the 
size is only around 130 kBytes.

Thanks - unfortunately I could not reproduce the issue with your files. 
I need the elf file.

That would be paparazzi/var/<AIRCRAFT>/ap/ap.elf

If anyone does have an issue with LPC USB flashing please email me that 
ap.elf file.

Oliver did have a problem with flashing that I could reproduce but I am 
not sure if that is the same thing. His files did have an overlapping 
exidx section, it should be fixed with lpc21iap v1.4 in master and 
stable v4.2.
