What does this compiler error message mean?

MCUXPresso has recently started including these files

in every new project, and now everything fails to compile with the error above. What has changed? (presumably accidentally changed)

It means that in cour cr_clock.c you are using __sys_clock, and this object is not found by the linker.

It sounds like you are using a system clock function, but your project does not provide/include that clock function?

I hope this helps,

I thought it must mean something like that, but I'm not using a system clock function. In fact I'm not using any C functions at all because the project is entirely in assembler.

Some settings have clearly changed, because MCUXpresso created this project differently from all my previous ones:

It added an "includes" directory containing:

MCUXpressoIDE_10.1.1_606/ide/tools/features/include and

MCUXpressoIDE_10.1.1._606/ide/tools/redlib/include which was not there in previous projects

It uses a different filename for the .axf file (now prefixed with "lib")

The icon for the .axf file has changed from a purple beetle to a purple amoeba

The project icon (an open folder with a superscript "c") now has a subscript "i".

There's about 500 bytes of RAM used at 0x02000000 which I didn't use in the code

Any clues as to what got changed, because otherwise I'll take aeons to find it!

I would make it link first and then check the .map file produce by the linker to see what gets added.

For this, add something dummy like this:

int __sys_clock(void) {

return 0;

}

and then check the map file.

I hope this helps,

That helped a lot, in a weird random sort of way. I started looking at every time I used the word "clock" in the assembly, and found I had used a label called "bcdclock" to point to a few bytes of memory where I store the data from a DS1308 RTC, and later I referred to it as "clock" not "bcdclock", so "clock" was not defined; and that really seemed to upset it.
