BL51: FATAL ERROR 204 (INVALID KEYWORD)

Information in this article applies to:

• C51 Version 6.00 Beta
• C51 Version 6.00

QUESTION

I want to create a linker map file without all of the line number information. In µVision2, under the project options' Listing tab, I un-check the Line Numbers option in the Linker Listing section. Then, when I build my project, I receive the following error message from the linker:

***FATAL ERROR L204: INVALID KEYWORD
    POS: 329
   ... PRINTCONTROLS (#

If I select Line Numbers, my project compiles and links with no errors. Is this a problem and is there a workaround?

ANSWER

Yes. This is a problem with µVision 2.04 and C51 V6.00 which has been corrected in µVision2 V2.04a and C51 V6.00e. There are several ways to resolve this problem:

• You may download the latest updates from http://www.keil.com/update/.
• As a workaround, you may specify the NOLINES directive in the Misc Controls section under the L51 Misc tab in the project options dialog box.
