Hello,
I need to put one byte in a specific address in flash. I have used the LOAD directive in the LCF file.
I need that this location is absolute and that it is independent from possible increment of code size.
Below there is my LCF file where there is the section "HwVersion". The total code reaches the location 0xFDE168B8 and when I insert the "HwVersion" section to the address 0xFDE16000 CodeWarrior displays this error:
"Link Error: Can't write binary file 'workode.bin' because gap between bin file offset segments .header_bot and .HwVersion wasn't update correctly (too much)"
MEMORY {
ram : org = 0x00003000, //length = 0x8000000 // 128 MB (DDR) (era 0x3000)
rom : org = 0xfc000000, length = 0x03FFFFFF // start of code in ROM
immrbar : origin = 0xF0000000, length = 0x0
}
/* We use FORCEFILES so that the linker will not deadstrip the file reset.s. The function
reset would be deadstripped since it is not ever called by anything */
FORCEACTIVE { gInterruptVectorTable, __reset}
FORCEFILES {header.o,HwVersion.o}
//FORCEFILES {header.o}

How I can solve this problem.
Thanks for Help
