sorry I made mistake on my quetion. I had set DFU_APP_DATA_RESERVED to 0x400. I didnt touch CODE_PAGE_SIZE . in the first link you share, it said in the last line : Application data is stored in the memory area between the application and the bootloader, right before the beginning of the bootloader. . it's exacly my case. unlike what you posted in answer : swap page that resides on the flash page just below the start address of the bootlaoder it's the user data page which I can see in flash, not the swap (see the flash memory dump)

The CODE_PAGE_SIZE should not be changed from the default value of 0x400. This is the actaul page size for the flash implementation we have on the 51. Please see "preserving application data" for instruction on how preserve app data when doing DFU.

If you're using pstorage you will also have to account for the swap page that resides on the flash page just below the start address of the bootlaoder. I.e., reserve at least two pages. More details on how the memory allocation with pstorage works can be found here.
