[cc2530]Unable to open command file in IAR workbench

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2530, CC2531

Hi,

i am trying to build a wireless network by using cc2530 development kit. however, when I try to rebuild the sample code packet, there is always an error saying that 

[Su007]: Unable to open the command file "C:\Users\Acer-PC\Desktop\FYP\CZ2530ZDK\GenericApp\GenericApp\CC2531\..\..\..\Tools\CC2530DB\f8wCoord.cfg",

this code is in an older version so i convert it to the new version before i rebuild it. i don't know whether it is the cause of such error. i also tried to change the linkerfile but it didn't help. the file 'f8wCoord.cfg' is also in the file 'Tools'.

Could someone suggest some ways that may solve the problem? Thanks a lot!

best regards,

li

    Hi,

    I assume the .cfg file includes #defines to configure your application?
    Make sure the path to the .cfg file is correct in the Extra options tab, found under Project > Options > Linker.

    Hi,

    i am really appreciate your help! I solved this problem by pasting the whole tool file to the place where the error indicates, after i rebuild it all, here comes the new problem,

    Fatal Error[e72]: Segment BANKED_CODE must be defined in a segment definition option (-Z, -b or -P)
    Error while running Linker

    i checked the address of linker file, direct it to lnk51ew_cc2530F256.xcl, i also checked the device in the general option to make sure it is the same as my device, then i changed the optimization level in the c/c++ complier to low as some one suggested in the forum, but the problem is still there.

    i also changed the linker file to the banked version, then it came out with another error

    Fatal Error[e72]: Segment LOCK_BITS_ADDRESS_SPACE must be defined in a segment definition option (-Z, -b or -P) 

    Could you help me on that? Thanks a lot!

    best regards,

    CC2530F256 has 256 kB code memory (flash), but can only use 64 kB without code banking. You need to use the lnk51ew_cc2530F256_banked.xcl linker command file.

    hi,

    i have changed it to the banked version, then it came out with another error,

    Fatal Error[e72]: Segment LOCK_BITS_ADDRESS_SPACE must be defined in a segment definition option (-Z, -b or -P)

    shall I use the linker file offered by zstack,i.e. f8w2530.xcl or shall I stick to lnk51ew_cc2530F256_banked.xcl?

    do I need to change the globals? or edit the ota file?

    thanks!

    best regards,

    When working with zstack applications, you should use the linker file that comes with zstack.

    hi,

    i tried to change the no of visual register and replace the chipcon_cstartup.s51 file, but the problem is still there.

    i also tried change it to another linker file, which is f8w2530.xcl provided in the zstack, bu it cam out with same problem. i.e.

    It sounds like the cc2530-sb.xcl is old. IAR changed how they supported virtual registers some time back.

    If you look at how the virtual registers are defined in lnk51ew_cc2530F256_banked.xcl, that comes with your IAR installation, you should be able to port that information to the cc2530-sb.xcl linker file.

    Hi TIABO,

    thanks for your help and sorry to reply you so late.

    I've solved this problem by using an older version of zstack and change the no of register to 8.
