migrating from ccs4 to ccs5 msp430 build no longer fits

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FE4272

I had a msp430 project that built and executed fine for a long time on ccs4, but when I tried importing it to ccs5, it no longer built. The complaint I got was

"../lnk_msp430fe4272.cmd", line 56: error #10099-D: program will not fit into
   available memory.  run placement with alignment fails for section ".bss"
   size 0x417 .  Available memory ranges:
   RAM          size: 0x400        unused: 0x240          max hole: 0x240

where my linker script looks like:

MEMORY
{
    SFR                     : origin = 0x0000, length = 0x0010
    PERIPHERALS_8BIT        : origin = 0x0010, length = 0x00F0
    PERIPHERALS_16BIT       : origin = 0x0100, length = 0x0100
    RAM                     : origin = 0x0200, length = 0x0400
    INFOA                   : origin = 0x1080, length = 0x0080
    INFOB                   : origin = 0x1000, length = 0x0080
    FLASH                   : origin = 0x8000, length = 0x7FE0
    INT00                   : origin = 0xFFE0, length = 0x0002
    INT01                   : origin = 0xFFE2, length = 0x0002
etc.

I saw in the map file that lots of new globals were being added by ccs5, so I scrimped and saved and removed globals until bss fit, and the next build I got:

"../lnk_msp430fe4272.cmd", line 61: error #10099-D: program will not fit into
   available memory.  run placement with alignment fails for section ".cio"
   size 0x120 .  Available memory ranges:
   RAM          size: 0x400        unused: 0x3          max hole: 0x3       
"../lnk_msp430fe4272.cmd", line 56: error #10099-D: program will not fit into
   available memory.  run placement with alignment fails for section ".stack"
   size 0x50 .  Available memory ranges:
   RAM          size: 0x400        unused: 0x3          max hole: 0x3       
"../lnk_msp430fe4272.cmd", line 55: error #10099-D: program will not fit into
   available memory.  run placement with alignment fails for section ".sysmem"
   size 0x4 .  Available memory ranges:
   RAM          size: 0x400        unused: 0x3          max hole: 0x3       
error #10010: errors encountered during linking; "RCMM_TEST.out" not built

Maddening!And of course I am in a hurry!

I imported this in the correct and approved manner. What is going wrong and how do I fix this?

    Hi Johanna,

    this is due to the change in compiler version.  Also due to a couple issues which should be fixed in 4.0.2.  

    I am back in the office tomorrow, but as a quick fix you can do a couple things.

    1- use the old compiler version if you did not remove it.  In CCSv5 go to Window->preferences->Code Composer Studio->Build->Code Generation Tools.  You can do two things here ... check your installed versions and also point CCS to the version from v4 (this is perfectly valid to do).

    Give that a try.  Tomorrow I can try to send you 4.0.2 offline if you wish to try it.  Just send me a friend or conversation request and I can set that up.

    best regards,
    Lisa

    hot dog! I think this fixed it. I can build. I can't test from here because I am home and can't move the jtag connector where I want to but the build works!

    I will pursue the 4.0.2 request offline.

    Thanks.
