ASCII lib to big size for QG application

[Cheesehead]

Hello Community,

I am currently working on a project with a MC13192 2.4GHz transceiver in combination with the new MC9S08QG8 in QFN package. I am using the new

SMAC4.1.a from the website and Codewarrior 3.1 with the latest patches installed.

Using the examples in this SMAC4.1.a download gives a good example how to use this tool, but the use for the smaller MCU's there is a problem. In my case I used the lighting demo, as this is about the application I am building right now.

Within this project CW is using a very big ascii library, which is about 12K in size.

With only 8K available, I might have a problem here. Investigation to this problem didn't solve my problem. I am wondering if some one can help me with this.

When building a project with CW 3.1 the environment automatically inserts a very big ascii lib in the project of about 12K of size. Just removing this from the project will not help, as then the linker will generate errors. The only way not to add 12K of code, is to create an empty project, which I do not like at all.

Does any one know how I can remove the ascii lib from the project savely, without the linker to coplain about missing parts ?

Thanks in advance,

Cheesehead

I would look at the messages produced by the linker if you remove the library part. Which functions/objects are missing? This will give you a hint what is needed.
The other thing is: link with the library and have a look at the produced .map (map file) by the linker: there is a dependency section which lists what is needed by what. This gives you the needed hints what you may need or not. It lists as well the different modules/functions/variables/etc with their sizes.
