Hello: 

 
My embedded target application is ARM7 based. I use Keil
tools. 

 
I get following error when I try to build my target
application: 

 
.\Builds\Outfile.axf: error: L6031U: Could not open scatter

The scatter file is the equivalent to the GNU/GCC linker script
which defines the placements of code and data into the memory of your
device.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
You should perhaps be describing your memory (IROM/IRAM) in the
Target Dialog, and making sure you checked &amp;quot;Use Memory Layout from
Target Dialog&amp;quot; in the Linker Dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
