EPM900 4K limit not making sense

Hi,

I bought a EMP900 thinking I was getting a programmer and emulator that was not crippled.
I understood that there was an evaluation version of some c compiler that I could look at.
Now I am finding that the only way to use the EPM900 is though the IDE which is limited to 4K.

I am actually using another compiler so I don't want to buy the uVision tools.

I have been using the hex file output of my compiler to program the emulator.

Now I am finding that with only 2K of code the software is saying that I have 8K of data, which is over the limit of 4K.
It's only 2K - I can see in the hex file.

Can anyone help me ? I just want to be able to use the product I bought.

  • The IDE reports

    *** Restricted Version with 4096 Byte Code Size Limit
    *** Currently used: 8101 Bytes (197%)

    8101 is the file size of the hex file, not the size of the code.
    Is this really the situation - what sort of dodgy company does this ?

    There is nothing to say that the emulator or programmer are limited on the website anyway.

    I this all correct ? - I can't believe any company could operate like this.
