Hi,

I have received
FATAL ERROR 246 : MAXIMUM OBJECT SIZE REACHED
and I am wondering what this is as it is not in the Compiler spec sheet.

I have upgraded to the 16kb version of RIDE, and my code space is at 5043kb. My RAM is 253 according to the map report. I am not currently using any EEPROM.

I am using the ST7LITE3.

Thanks
Jordan

Hi Jordan,

This is a linker error, which is documented in the Linker manual:

FATAL 246: MAXIMUM OBJECT SIZE REACHED

Cause: The “Evaluation” or “Lite” version of the linker is being used, which is limited in terms of generated output file. Your project is too large for the evaluation version.

Resolution: Upgrade to the full version of the tools.

Your code size is probably too large.
I hope this helps.

Are you sure you still have the error with the 16KB version? Could you confirm?
Are you under RIDE6 or RIDE7?

Thanks,

Francis

Francis,

I am using RIDE7, previously before the upgrade to the 16KB version it would compile up to 1k bytes and then have an error saying evaluation size limit reached. After I upgraded it compiles the full software and shows up at the end when linking the .aof file.

My code size is, from the map file,

EXECUTABLE SUMMARY:
-------------------
Total EEPROM storage requirement: 0000H (0)
Total DATA storage requirement: 0100H (256)
Total CODE storage requirement: 143BH (5179)

In the case you were using RIDE6 then RIDE7, can you also precise if you were using RIDE6 in evaluation mode ?

Thank you

matloub,

Sorry, it appears I am using RIDE6.

I have Version 6.10.22 and Build BN745-ST7-ARM-80C51
I must have mistaken the Build 745 number as RIDE7.

I used the RIDE7 16KB Upgrade.

Is there a way around this? Should I reinstall RIDE and get the correct upgrade for it?

Thanks
