Project won't compile

Could part of the problem be the project lies in a drive that I don't have write access to?

maybe. but you also need to install a version of RL-ARM on your machine (somebody over there should have it...) to accommodate that missing library.

I have 3 disks:

1.) uVision3 - LPC Development Studio -07.2007
2.) Keil Development Tools CD-ROM - release 8.2008
3.) Keil Development Tools CD-ROM - release 2.2008

Which disk would that be on?

that's old software you have there. you are looking for an executable called "rlarm???.exe".

Is this something that had to be previously downloaded? Apparently the license they bought has expired and I can't download it from the site.

Better contact Keil support, then.

Alright thanks for the info

John;
You said that you just want to flash to your target. Did you look for a ".hex" file in the project files? That's all you need if you are lucky enough to have a complete project file.

I'll try that but pretty much I was given a folder with a project in it. I found it the problems that fixed those errors and now i'm getting a bunch of these errors:

Build target 'Target 1'
linking...
versapower.axf: Error: L6218E: Undefined symbol SWI_Handler (referred from lpc2300.o).
versapower.axf: Error: L6218E: Undefined symbol __fclose (referred from retarget.o).

The ocmpleted part comes from my supervisor saying that the previous employee had the project in some form on the board and was visually showing him stuff. That being said I don't have access to the employee's previous computer files just a folder with the project code in it.

Well I found a hex file but I'm not sure how to get that to the board. I tried to use Flash Magic but it keeps failing at step 1 to autobuad. I'm using the ULINK2 device connected to JTAG.

use

uv3 -f <path to project> -t <target name>

from the command line, or directly via uv3 IDE. Don't forget to configure JTAG interface first, if not setup in the project file.

Well lets back up a step and say how do I get the example program blinky to get flashed to the board. After I build it and click flash I get a no JTAG devices found error.

Well I figured out the flashing part. Now, I just need some help on figuring out why the code won't compile.

These are the errors I'm getting.

Here's come more stuff.

For example, __fclose is used in retarget.c here

/*--------------------------- _sys_close ------------------------------------*/

int _sys_close (FILEHANDLE fh) {
   if (fh > 0x8000) {
      return (0);
   }
   return (__fclose (fh));
}
-------------------------------------------------------

Now if we look at the header file, file_config.h, included in retarget.c's decleration:

extern int  __fclose (int handle);

Therefore, I dont' understand why the errors are being generated. I included the file_config.h in the retarget.c file. That is normally what you do when you define symbols. Is there something I'm missing?

Your project doesn't fail to compile.

It fails to link.

And no - you include header files for the compilation step.

But you need to specify what libraries to add in for the linking step.

"extern int __fclose (int handle);" obviously does not contain any implementation of any __fclose() function. That implementation is in either a source file or a compiled version in an object file or in a library file.

The linker complans that it doesn't have access to the compiled result of a number of files.
