LX51: LINKER CODE PACKING PROBLEM

Information in this article applies to:

• C51 Version 6.23

QUESTION

I'm working on a project that has CODE memory available and defined (Target Dialog) as follows:

ROM #1 ( 0200h - 1FFFh )
ROM #2 ( 8000h - AFFFh )

After analyzing my MAP file, I've noticed that Code is being placed on addresses outside this CODE segment range, and no error message is being generated. Since I only have CODE memory available on that defined area, my program will not work on my hardware. I'm using LX51, Linker Code Packing optimization, and I checked the Use Memory Layout from Target Dialog box. Is there any option or any detail that I might be missing?

CAUSE

You are following the correct procedures. LX51 Version 3.23 has a problem with the Linker Code Packing optimization.

RESOLUTION
