I upgraded uVision (from MDK-ARM v3.22 to 3.4) recently. After I tried to compile my project from previous version I noticed that the HEX file became a lot larger than before.
Before, the whole code was put into LR_1 section, but now it is separated in ER_IROM1 and ER_IROM2. ER_IROM2 begins exactly 16kB after end of ER_IROM1 and I found no way to persuade linker to put these section together.
For the moment, my project does not support HEX files as large as this, so I want to get rid of this 16kB useless space that is put in the code.
Lastly, even if I try to load the entire HEX file into my LPC2364, the code does not run as it should.
"It seems that Keil are being a bit misleading about this"
Yes, it is this little party trick that makes the evaluation version fail to build examples that was possible to build before this little "improvement".
