Hello,

I'm using the CodeRed IDE and it has a limit of maximal code size for the axf file. How can I determine on the command line the size of my application? I want to know before flashing, if the code is too large for my license.

The license says:

Quote:

License type: FULL
Debug limit: 128k
Activation code: xxx

A FULL copy of LPCXpresso may be used for production.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for your reply. I want to download the usb_serial demo, but the CodeRed IDE says

Quote:
License restriction: Flash image too large for this license.
10: Could not start execution from stop: Ep(-1). PC is out of allowed range for this license.

So I followed the guide to determine the size of the binary:

/opt/codered/lpcxpresso422/lpcxpresso/tools/bin/arm-none-eabi-size RDB1768cmsis2_usb_serial.axf 
   text       data        bss        dec        hex    filename
  17568          8        836      18412       47ec    RDB1768cmsis2_usb_serial.axf

The code size is approximately 18k. I got a license for 128k. Now, why does the download fail?

Thanks again!

Thanks Serge for pointing me in the right direction! Now I was able to solve it. I've recently upgraded my Ubuntu and that disabled my license. I did the re-activation as suggested by the other thread and it worked.

In any case, the license screen should not display the wrong maximum file size.
