The ARM Linker has stopped working

[Arne Laugstøl]

Hi

I am trying the nRF51822 Evaluation Kit for the first time. I have followed the instructions in the User Guide v1.1. The blinky_example works fine, indicating that the tool-chain should be in place. But, when I am trying to build the heart-rate monitor example, the Linker crashes and I get the Build Output window I get a message:

Build target 'nrf51822_xxaa_s110 (256K)' compiling ble_conn_params.c... compiling ble_stack_handler.c... linking... ._build\ble_app_hrs.axf: error: L6002U: Could not open file ._build\ble_conn_params.o: No such file or directory "._build\ble_app_hrs.axf" - 1 Errors, 0 Warning(s). Target not created

I have not yet installed the PCA-10000 dongle. Below I have pasted in the information from the IDE (I am using Windows8-x64). Any suggestion to how I can proceed?

Hi

I tried to run as an Administrator (but, I don't know if the Linker will run as an administrator). However, I got the same result.

I also tried to make all files read/write-able from the Keil-root. But, the same result.
