ARMCC: EVAL VERSION "NEEDS TO CLOSE"


Information in this article applies to:

  • MDK-ARM V3.05 and Earlier

SYMPTOM

The evaluation version of the MDK-ARM tools displays the following message when starting µVision, or compiling a program module:

The ARM (t)c/c++ Compiler has encountered a problem
and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.

This did not happen prior to July 2007.

CAUSE

V3.05 and earlier versions of the MDK-ARM evaluation tools perform a date calculation which fails starting in July 2007. It is this failure that causes the above error message to display.

Note

  • This error occurs only when using the MDK-ARM Evaluation version. Licensed MDK-ARM tools are not affected.

RESOLUTION

Download and install the latest version (V3.11) of the MDK-ARM Evaluation kit to correct this.

STATUS

This is corrected in MDK-ARM V3.10 and later versions.
