Problem of zstack with newer version of IAR compiler

Hi fores....,

Yes, I experienced the exact same problem as you describe when upgrading to 7.51A. I reinstalled 7.50 to get up and running again. Did you find a better solution?

No...

The problem I have is that I can not go back to 7.50 coz I don't have a licence for IAR. I use the trial version. IAR only gives trial licenses for 7.51A.

I just looked in my .map file (generated by 7.50A). In it i find this:

           _EXTENDED_STACK_SIZE    00000000
           _EXTENDED_STACK_END     00000000
           _EXTENDED_STACK_START   00000000

So maybe you could try to define the missing defines in f8w2430.xcl and see if it works? Please let me know if it does - so that I can go back to 7.51A too.

And some more from the .map file:

#                            "C:\Program Files\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench  #
#                            5.0\8051\LIB\CLIB\cl-pli-blxd-1e16x01.r51"        #
#                            -D_IDATA_STACK_SIZE=0xC0                          #
#                            -D_EXTENDED_STACK_START=0x00                      #
#                            -D_EXTENDED_STACK_END=0x00                        #
#                            -D_EXTENDED_STACK_SIZE=0x00                       #
#                            -D_PDATA_STACK_SIZE=0x80                          #
#                            -D_XDATA_STACK_SIZE=0x300                         #
#                            -D_XDATA_HEAP_SIZE=0x00 -D_FAR_HEAP_SIZE=0x000    #
#                            -D_HUGE_HEAP_SIZE=0x000                           #

I guess the -D_EXTENDED_STACK_xxx lines would be good in the .cfg file

Hi, are you using 1.4.3 and CC2430? The only supported compiler is 7.30B. After that, all bets are off! The newer version
is not compatible with the older linker file.

Thanks.

I think the only choice is to pay for a full version license so as to download 7.30B. We are not even able to download a trial version of 7.30B.

Hi, the -D_EXTENDED_STACK_END=0x00 inserted in the cfg file solves that problem, BUT: Next problem is something about some "?BRET_30" etc. references from TI's libs which need to be resolved or redirected. Seems like TI needs to recompile their libs with 7.51 to make it work.

Although TI only supports 7.30, 7.50 appears to work fine. I've used it for a long time.

Yes. 7.50 works perfect.

But I don't think Ti will recompile their work. I am not fimiliar with IAR EW. So the only way for me to get a full license.

Please try to contact IAR support to obtain a trial version of 7.30B. What is their response?

Hi All,

Try this:

Debugger\Device description file: Override default YES, $TOOLKIT_DIR$\config\devices\Texas Instruments\CC2430.ddf
General options/Target/Device: C:\Program Files\IAR Systems\Embeded Workbench 5.3 Evaluation version\8051\config\devices\Texas Instruments\CC2430.i51
Linker\Link command file: Override default YES, c:\Program Files\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 5.3 Evaluation version\8051\config\lnk51ew_cc2430b.xcl
Linker\Extra Options: add: -C $TOOLKIT_DIR$\LIB\clib\cl-pli-blxd-1e16x01.r51

Paths of course can be slightly different, so please verify appropriate to your personal settings.

Have a good day,

Janusz

PS. One more think: In file lnk51ew_cc2430b.xcl replace IXDATA_START with 0xE000.

Hi - I have been facing issue using IAR 7.51A/w32  7.51.1.3 with ZStack-CC2430-1.4.3-1.2.1.

It built the SampleApplication with the above settings without any linker errors. But while download and debug, the cursor doesn't  point to the main  in zmain.c. I ensured the "run to" option in Debugger settings was set to main. The control never comes to main, hence the board doesn't boot properly.

Have you faced this issue .... ?  please help to rectify this

(the board used is CC2430DB)

-Thanks

Mahan

Is in project options

Project->Options..->Linker Output tab "Debug ingormation for C-CPY" slected?

And test is in Debug options "Device descripton file" set to "$TOOLKIT_DIR$\config\devices\Texas Instruments\CC2430.ddf"

Wojtek

Yes. both the settings are correctly configured. 

Path mentioned by you is set correctly for the .ddf  file with overrride default, checked.

The  "Debug ingormation for C-CPY"  is selected by default. And under that the following are checked:

With runtime control modules & with i/o emulation modules.

Should this fix the issue ... ?   

It is one setting for debug information in Project->Options ->C/C++ Compiler Output -> Generate debug information.

If is this option selected I have not any next susgestion - >pack you demo project and send to   me by mail on address " wojciech dot szyfelbein @ piue.pl"

Remove spaces and dot change to "."

this following problem is resolved now

I am working with CC2431EM with SRF04EB Evaluation Boards. I have developed some serial port applications since 4 Months. I am using the Zstack143121. Suddenly, one fine morning, the CC2431 EMs stopped receiving from serial port. Even for debugging also, they are not responding. I tested with all of my backups and also with Zstack original- SerialApp Application. but of no use. Please help me. Product is ready to launch.

Regards,

Compiling Z-stack 1.4.3 location sample in IAR Workbench 7.60 , works like charm.
