uvision v5.11.1.0 could not load file .axf, debugger aborted

I'm attempting to get uvision working on a VM of windows 8.1 embedded industrial running on ubuntu 14.04. when I'm trying to start the debugger with a project that has been tested and working on another computer with uVision. When I try to start the debugger, I first get a message that says: "EVALUATION MODE running with code size limit: 32k"
I then click the okay box and this is the next error code and the debugger gives up:

Error: Could not load file 'X:\ARM\Excercise01\Excercise01.axf'. Debugger aborted !

I attempted an older solution for v3 where I replaced the TLM.DLL but it did not change anything.

I'm not too familiar with this program or windows yet so there might be something I'm missing.

  • I have the same problem when use uVision 4.53.0.0 with LPC1343 on Windows 7 64bit.

    I found a solution,

    the problem only happens when
    [Options for Target] -> [Debug] -> [Settings] -> [Debug] -> [Download Options]
    --> [Verify Code Download] is checked, but [Download to Flash] is not checked.

    So, check or uncheck them both will solve this problem.

    I just test this to recall my memory.

  • I'm using the simulator so I don't use that debugger option. I haven't recieved my board yet so I can't download to flash.

  • So I solved the issue. What happened was my school's license for uvision temporarily expired so I started this project on their computers first without knowing it wouldn't simulate. We were then told we had to make it work ourselves so I opened the project on the version of uvision in the VM but the configurations weren't quite right so it caused issues. Instead of just rebuilding I did project > rebuild all target files and a message in the terminal said it created the <targetname>.axf file and then it ran the debugger just fine.

    I hope this post can help others with this silly oversight!
