Errors L6366E & L62242E

" Error: L6366E: uECC.o attributes are not compatible with the provided cpu and fpu attributes" indicates that the build attributes used in your lib built by the gcc compiler are different/incompatible with the ones currently used in your project.

You can use the fromelf.exe together with  --decode_build_attributes command line option to decode your lib file as well as your uECC.o to compare the attributes

They must be aligned, otherwise you will get this error

So, this is what I get as output from executing 

fromelf.exe --decode_build_attributes libuECC.a

How do I see the attributes of my project and how would I align them?

Surely, the  messages are telling you which parts are in conflict:

For a start, it looks like your project is Cortex-M, but the library is ARM7TDMI ?

I see, thank you for your response. I'm trying to find documentation for the GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain on how to modify these attributes when compiling the library object. I can't seem to find anything explicit

I attempted to re-compile using my target cpu name: 

arm-none-eabi-gcc -Wall -O3 -mcpu=cortex-m3 -c uECC.c

error: target CPU does not support ARM mode

and I get this error:

Well, you would: a Cortex-M3 indeed does not support ARM mode - it is Thumb only.

Did you read the 'Compilation Notes' in the documentation on the Github page you linked?

Have you tried contacting the author?

I see, I understand. I re-compiled using the following flags:

arm-none-eabi-gcc -Wall -O3 -fshort-wchar -mthumb -mcpu=cortex-m3 -mfix-cortex-m3-ldrd -c uECC.c 

I'm able to link the resulting object into my project now. Thanks for you guidance
