error #10099-D: program will not fit into available memory

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FG437

Hej

I'm using a MSP430FG437 and when I try to use a timer, I get an error: #10099 programm will not fit into available memory, placement with alignment fails for section Timer... size0x4.

I tried some timers A and B.

I cleaned and rebuilt the project ... no results.

#pragma vector=TIMERA3_VECTOR    // Timer1 Ax interrupt service routine

  __interrupt void Timer_A3 (void) {...}
.
.
.
main...
.
.
.
TA0CCR0 = 1200;                 // Count limit
TA0CCTL0 = 0x10;                 // Enable Timer 
TA0CTL = TASSEL_1 + MC_1;        // count UP

Somewhere else in your project, there is a definition of a named section called Timer which has placed code in this section that probably is being targeted by the interrupt service routine Timer_A3(). You will need to find this and either remove/replace or try another mechanism.

I don't have any specific here, but this type of error is generally something that you need to hunt for other culprits that were included in the project.

Thanks for your help.

Eclipse/CC shows me an error in the msp430...cmd- File in the section-part, this row:

    TIMERA0      : { * ( .int06 ) } > INT06 type = VECT_INIT

(I tried this with the TimerA0)

But the file is just for read, and I haven't found some other sections with Timer_Ax.

At the beginning of the main.c is an instruction of the vectors, I don't know if that is correct. Is there something missing, I get an other error when I add TIMERA3_VECTOR.

#pragma vector=USART0RX_VECTOR,\
    USART0TX_VECTOR,\
    ADC12_VECTOR,\
    TIMERA0_VECTOR,\
    TIMERA1_VECTOR,\
    TIMERB0_VECTOR, \
    TIMERB1_VECTOR, \
    BASICTIMER_VECTOR, \
    COMPARATORA_VECTOR, \
    DAC12_DMA_VECTOR, \
    NMI_VECTOR, \
    WDT_VECTOR

What code base are you working with? I'm not familiar with what you are copying-and-pasting into the thread.

When you compile the code, what do you see getting allocated into the Timer section you originally mentioned?

I'm using CCS5.4. I only want to use a timer with an ISR.

When I compile the code with the Timer_A3, I get the error "TIMERA3_VECTOR is undefined". Why doesn't Timer3 exist, I only found TimerA3 and TimerB3 in the manual of the MSP430FG437, but in the Linker File I only see TimerA/B 0/1. ?? What is right? I'm confused.

So, I tried the TIMERA0, but then I got the error D-10099 ...(this problem with the memory, TimerA0 size 0x4 etc.) And it referred me to the Linker File to this line:

TIMERA0 : { * ( .int06 ) } > INT06 type = VECT_INIT

When I make this file writable and delete that line, then it compiles without an error but a warning. But the error comes later in the debugger.

Anyway, I have created a new project with only a timer and this is running. But I would like to know why it does not go in the other project.

Ok, now it works. I had to delete the instruction TIMERA0_VECTOR from my vector table. I didn't know why there is this vector table, it was from a previous employee.
