Dear Team,

I have downloaded the code for USB demos of LPC1837, I am able to compile it successfully, binary image generated ngx_xplorer_1830_lpcusblib_DualDeviceAudioMSC.axf is of size 850.4KB but the same binary image file that is provided with SD_CARD_DATA/Demo image/LPCXpresso/ngx_xplorer_1830_lpcusblib_DualDeviceAudioMSC.axf is of size 3.6MB.

Whats the reason why the binary image I generated after compilation from source is less in size when compared with pre-built demo image shared.

I am using LPCXpresso free edition.

Thanks & Regards,
Vamshi G.

The size of the AXF image on disk is not a fair representation of the size of the binary that will be downloaded into the target MCU. For more details see:

With regards to the projects you are building, I would assume that the differences are due to differing code bases, optimisation levels, and debug information being created.
