Part Number: AWR1843

Hi team,

Customer is building AWR1843 ARM project, compile version is TI V16.9.6.LTS

Total file number including C and H is ~160. Customer do below test:

1. Customer is trying to add one more C file, then the linker report an error "cannot find this file path"

2. Customer change one another file from a long file name to a short file name, then this new C file can be added.

3. Customer feedback that while remove a long file name source file, then he can add several short name source file with no error.

Question: Can you please help to double check if the compiler had the limitation on the TOTAL length of file name character? And how to extend this length limitation.

Thanks.

This appears to be the same as the already reported entry EXT_EP-10858. Unfortunately, it has not been addressed.

Thanks and regards,

You use the TI proprietary Arm compiler, which is also known as armcl. There no plans to add any new enhancements or features to armcl. This particular issue is categorized as an enhancement. That being the case, whenever it gets addressed, it will be implemented in other compilers, but unfortunately not armcl.

Thanks and regards,

-George
