Opening *.mcp with RVDS 4.0

Dear all,

I have installed RVDS 4.0 recently. I have a saved project from ADS 1.2 (in *.mcp format) which seems to work properly.
Now, how can I open and edit this project with my RealView Development Suite? Is it possible at all?

Can I install ADS 1.2 on my PC too? If yes, from where can I download it? It is too traditional that I cannot find.

I started a new project in RVDS 4.0 and rewrote the code, but, there is an error in linking process that i guess is related to the version of my suite; what do you think? The error is as follows: "armlink : could not open file C:\Documents: Invalid argument (l6002)"

Regards,
Ehsandoust, Bahram

    Actually, I do not think so, because I have included some other files in the same directory and it does work properly.

    [color="#0000FF"]What version of RVDS are you using, what type of project is it (managed project, or make files written by hand?), what is the full command line you are feeding the linker?

    It is ARM Workbench IDE v4.0.
    I am not sure whether i have got your intent or not, but I think it is a managed project. As I said, the project is built with ADS 1.2 and I am to modify it via RVDS 4.0.
    I can not certainly talk about Linker Command Line, either. Workbench IDE performs almost all the process after setting some simple initializations. If there are vital commands, would you please let me know and tell me how can I make them work?

    I'd really recommend sticking to RVDS 4.0 - the compiler is significantly better.

    I don't use the workbench IDE much - I tend to use make files written by hand - so I can't help there.

    My only other thought is that perhaps it is an OS command line length limitation if the path to your files is quite long, and the path is getting truncated. You could try moving your workspace directory and project directory closer to the root of your C drive. If you are passing a lot of files to the linker it is quite easy to overflow the 8K line length limit of Windows.
