Hi all,
I found this call in the dualcore example for the new Keil board.

extern uint32_t getPC(void);

/**
* FIXME: Keil M0 startup code bug!
* This is not required for other compilers.
**/
getPC();

But since I can not build due to missing files I wasn't able to find the code behind this call. Even UltraEdits 'searchInFiles' could not locate it. I assume it returns the program counter of the M0.
Does anybody know something about this call or the bug?

Thanks,
that's why, I searched in .c and .h only.
I'll try if it fixes our problems.

Hello
I don't know about the bug, but the getPC function is defined in the startup_LPC43xx_M0.s and startup_LPC43xx.s files in the Keil dual core example:

                AREA    |.text|,CODE, READONLY
getPC           PROC
                EXPORT  getPC

                MOV     R0,LR
                BX      LR

                ENDP
