eZ430-chronos developing questions

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SIMPLICITI

When I tried to build the originally loaded project, "eZ430-chronos", the building is failed as informed "output file exceeds the code size limit".

Where should I configure the code size limit?

Thank you all.

    I believe that this is a hard limit for evaluation versions of CCSv4. If you did not purchase a license you are probably using either the free trial version, or a free evaluation version that came with an eval kit (Chronos kit). For MSP430 the size limit is 16KB, so if you go over that you would receive this message (see here for more info on licensing).

    Tim is correct. You have the Microcontroller Core version. Download the full DVD image to install the non code size limited version.

    Adam,

    You have two options:

    1. You can select your IDE version in the BUILD OPTIONS (right click on project --> Properties --> C/C++ Build). Besides the frequency range you can also specify the IDE version. As you are using the limited version of CCS, you need to select the corresponding option. The difference to the "Full IDE" option is that you can modify less code. SimpliciTI for instance will be linked to the project as a library. Please see Chronos User's Guide (SLAU292) for details.

    2. As the others recommended you can go for the full IDE (previous posts).

     

    Regards,

    Markus

    I think there is much more to this than you are admitting.

    I have installed the DVD image of CCS 4.2.0.

    I can successfully build, download, and run an application that was built from 'scratch', including the project file, size in EXCESS of 20K.

    HOWEVER, another application which started life as one of the ez430-RF2500 Simpliciti examples, size slightly larger, generates the "output file exceeds the code size limit" error. When I strip out some code, so it is just slightly larger than 16K, I still get the code size error.

    The Simpliciti example does NOT use the library files, everything is compiled from source.

    More non-deterministic behavior from CCS?
