The program is 5K larger than allocated by the linker script for the Flash area.

Trying to put a 21K sized program into a 16K part.

Thanks for your reply,

I can  handle this error by increasing  m_text length at linker file. 

At linker file.

m_text                (RX)  : ORIGIN = 0x00000410, LENGTH = 0x000FFBF0    --> Original line

m_text                (RX)  : ORIGIN = 0x00000410, LENGTH = 0x00101254      --> Manipulated line ( increased by 5732 )

Is this about your suggestion?

Hello Burak,

Yes, your code overflowed, you need increase the region of m_text .

You need check the Reference manual check the flash size of your chip .
