I am having difficulty in compiling code for the Nordic nrf24E1.
Nordic have a number of sample programs of which I am starting with ex1c.c (available from www.nordicsemi.no/.../nRF24E1_EXAMPLES_rev1_2.zip)
I am able to program (using PonyProg V2.06f and a parallel port programmer) the Nordic supplied hex file for example ex1c into my 25LC320 eeprom that the nrf24E1 uses. The program functions correctly.
I am However unable to compile my own working hex file!
The Nordic sample program supplies a uVision Project file, however when I open this file in uVision and attempt to compile the project the hex file that I able to generate does not function.
Comparing my generated hex file (does not work) to the Nordic supplied hex file (works) I see that my hex file has the data section? offest by 07FDH?...(disassembling the hex files provides the same information...)
I get the same result if I create a new project for nrf24E1 and attempt to compile that as well..
I suspect I am simply missing something in the configuration for Keil (startup.A51?, ?)....anyone that has Keil working with the nrf24E1 should I suspect be able to help me!
On the upside I have no dramas writing and programing ASM for the Nordic nrf24E1.... lol
I apologise for my difficulties with this.

Have you tried asking Nordic, as it's their code & Project that we're talking about?
Are you using the Keil free evaluation?
I have tried to contact Nordic directly and also my supplier. Neither have responded to me as yet. I contacted Nordic for the first time approximately a week ago now, I have sent another email to them recently.
While I understand that the code is "Nordic's", I've also been unable to get a nrf24E1 project working from scratch, which would fall into Keils domain? Correct me if I am incorrect in this regard?
As I understand it Keil provides a compiler with support for the nrf24E1, I am able to write asm software for the nrf24E1 so it is not a hardware issue I am having as such?...? I am having trouble geting Keil to work, not the hardware...
Does Keil have a relationship with Nordic? Nordic appears to write (or at least test) its C software with Keil...
It would be nice if Nordic did have better development support! Of this I would be most helpful. :)
I understand that many people had had great success with Keil (Nordic themselves), help from those willing would be most appreciated.
Once again I apologise for my difficulties in regard to this and thank you for your help!
I am using the free evaluation.
