bootloader example fail in linking

[MH]

Hi,

I have problem on compiling bootloader example which is located at

\Nordic\nrf51822\Board\nrf6310\device_firmware_updates\bootloader

When I try to compile the project the keil compiler will give the below messages and fail to link

   compiling ble_srv_common.c...

linking...
.
\_build\bootloader.axf: Error: L6985E: Unable to automatically place AT section bootloader_settings_arm.o(.ARM.__AT_0x0003FC00) with required base address 0x0003fc00. Please manually place in the scatter file using the --no_autoat option.

*** Performing Cross-Module-Optimization:    
*** Feedback file '.\_build\bootloader.fed' not found.    
Target not created

I’m using keil v5.11.1.0 with SDK 6.1.0 and want to use softdevice 7.1

Please give me some suggestions

Did you make any changes to the project?

Are the IROM1 and IRAM1 settings correct? They are located under the "target" fan under options. They should be IROM1 Start: 0x3C000 size: 0x4000 and IRAM1 start: 0x20002000 size: 0x2000

It also seems like the include folder ..\..\..\..\..\Include\gcc is not added to the include paths in this project. Go to the C/C++ fan under option and add this to the field "Include Paths".

I meet this problem as well. I use keil and select Optimization level 0 , the problem appears, and I choose other options , the problem disappears. This is very strange.

This is because setting -O0 will cause the image to grow, exceeding the size constraints set in the Keil project. The linker will then throw an error. See this post on how to debug the bootloader: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../

I meet this problem too. My solution is "Use MicroLIB" setting. This issue may be caused by rom size.
