Segger Embedded Studio Code Size Limit?

[Mike Marks]

I recently downloaded Segger's Embedded Studio to compare its performance and ease of use with IAR Embedded Workbench. We have a kickstarter version of IAR for ARM which has a 32K code size limit. Segger's site mentioned that the free evaluation license has no code size limit, but when I compile my now-slightly-over-32K project with the Segger, I get an error that the size limit of 0x8000 (32K) has been exceeded. Could this be related to the fact that I originally imported the Segger project from a project that was created on the IAR Kickstarter version and somehow inherited the 32K code size limit from IAR? I can't find anything under the Segger project options that sets the code size limit.

Thanks,

Mike

No the size limit didn't come over from IAR. What's the ACTUAL error message? Have you registered your copy of SES to get the free Nordic license which allows full access and even commercial use, even though I believe that SES has no size limit either.

Exact error is "Error [Li016]: size limit exceeded.  The application needs 0x864c (34380) bytes, which is greater than the limit of 0x8000 (32768) bytes."  When I check the Tools -> License Manager and choose Manage Activations, I see that the product is licensed to Mike Marks - Avid Technologies.

ok that is an IAR error which would indicate you're still actually compiling with IAR. Did you import the project as some kind of external made project? A native SES built one has no limits and it doesn't produce IAR error messages.

Can you check compiler settings for the project? ("Project" menu -> "Edit options...", then select the "Code" -> "Compiler" item.)

[Mike Marks]

Compiler settings shows gcc as the compiler.  The only choices listed are gcc and clang if I chooise the pull-down under Compiler.  The project was imported using File -> Import IAR EWARM / Keil MDK Project... and then selecting the .eww file from the project directory.
