hello!! could you tell me from where the function load_overlay call its parameter "int n" PS:the function is implemented by keil team
thanks for your help Ron , in fact am working with the toolchain 5.02 so there is some linker command such as --overlay_veneers wich are not supported on my toolchain so am searching how to force the linker to not overlay section automatically i want that the overlay_manager will do the job
Hello Hamzi,
The overlay mechanism works differently in ARM compiler 5. This article may be useful to you:

thanks for replying kevin , in fact i read all document in the keil support but there is no unfortunately a clear explanation ! haven't you any extra information to add ! because the mecanism deescribed such as overlay_manager and load overlay .. doesn't work i want to force the linker to overlay modules with that mecanism not automatically
Hello Ham,
Are you still having issues with this?
On the 2nd link, did you see that there was example code in a zip file?
the "Download example source code" link.
It provided the bare bones of an overlay manager. You will need this overlay manager because the Arm libraries will not do the overlays automatically for you.
If you are having issues adapting this sample code to work in a Keil IDE project, let us know.
Good luck with your project.
