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?

I have the same problem , Keil used to work fine for long time but since I tried to make a new toolchain with eclipse and codesourcery bench , maybe I missed up something

I had a long e-mail Conversion With the support team from Keil, but they couldn't solve the problem. I think Keil isn't stable on Windows8. Arne

Well I have Windows7 and keil worked perfectly before , I uninstall it and re-install , tried to add environment variable for W7 system , I searched a lot on google and always nothing , And I am not sure if it is a liker issue or a compiler , because the .o files doesn't exist onky for startup and retarget files ,
