ble_app_template error

[Dcrossd]

hi

i am using the nrf52832 board.

I am trying to build the ble_app_template code but i am geeting the following build error 

.\_build\nrf52832_xxaa.axf: error: L6050U: The code size of this image (40828 bytes) exceeds the maximum allowed for this version of the linker.

why is this happening?

The message tells you exactly why it is happening - the code is too big!

You are, presumably,using the free Keil evaluation (or "lite") version ?

This has clearly-stated limitations:

Hi, 

I recommend using Segger Embedded Studio as you get a free perpetual license for nRF5x devices.
