This error message tells you that there is not enough memory space in IRAM to allocate the .far section. The required space for .far is 0x00e57dd0 while the available space is only 0x0003fe00 at that point in the linking process.

Using the DSP/BIOS GUI, you can change the memory label for the .far section from IRAM to SDRAM or whatever name is used for the external memory in your project. This will update your linker command file so the .far section will be placed in the larger external memory.

How do you interpret this error message? In my previous post, I interpreted the words of this error message for you, and you have made very important changes.

You have highlighted part of the message in red to signify its importance. What does this highlighted portion tell you about your current configuration and about what the linker is trying to do? Reuse my words if you wish, with the new values, and compare what you say to the features of your DSP and your board.
