Hi All,

I am using lpcxpresso to compile a project, every module compiles without error or warnings, but when it is time to link, the linker crashes ..

I have no idea what the error code means, does anyone know how to get more information out of the linker to see what it is complaining about?

Thanks,

I have found that the problem is the linker script (it was one I hacked from an LPC1343 script)

To solve this, I created a dummy project for the LPC1765, found where the linker script was stored and modified some symbol names to suit my startup file. Now it all works.

Thanks for the hint.

I have attached the new linker script for reference.

I am using my own linker script, it is attached:

Many Thanks,

It does look like the linker has exited unexpectedly. Are you providing your own linker script, or are you using the auto-generated linker script? If it is your own, please post it. If not, please contact our support group and send your project so we can reproduce.
