I have recently been given project files for an old project that I was told was working on a NXP LPC2388 board. When I open the project in uVision3 it has two files that are red and it won't compile or build. I keep getting the same errors.
error - can't create command input file 'lpc2300._ia'
For every time I click build and
error - can't create command input file 'manual_mode_layout.__i'
For when I click compile.
I've never used this software before and there is nothing anyone can tell me other than the guy who was here before you had it working. I was given a bunch of disks to install the software, a lot of it looked redundant. Maybe that's my problem?
The missing files are:
FS_ARM_L.lib MCI_LPC23xx.c -file_config.h -mci_lpc23xx.h
Basically I just need to get this project flashed to the board and I can't even get it to compile. I would appreciate any help you could offer.
Well I found all the missing functions. They are all part of the FlashFS. All of those functions are separate C files. I guess I would of thought there would be an easier way to link them to a project then having to link every separate C file.
There is - it is to build them into a Library.
But who can tell why your predecessor chose not to do that?
A lesson for you to learn from all this: consider what documentation you would have liked your predecessor to povide on all this - and be sure that your documentation includes it!
