okay, did the same for the FIR_STACK, the SVC_STACK and the UND_STACK,
now it compiles fine but i have other issues, i will try and fix them
and if i cant i will post them in another post.

When you specify a section, there must be a corresponding entry in your
linker file. The errors you were seeing were due to a section defined
somewhere in your code, without being referenced in your linker file.

In your startup code you most likely have the following:

;---------------------------
; ?CSTARTUP
;---------------------------
MODULE ?CSTARTUP

RSEG IRQ_STACK:DATA(2)

RSEG ABT_STACK:DATA:NOROOT(2)
RSEG UND_STACK:DATA:NOROOT(2)
RSEG FIR_STACK:DATA:NOROOT(2)
RSEG SVC_STACK:DATA:NOROOT(2)
RSEG CSTACK:DATA(2)
RSEG ICODE:CODE:NOROOT(2)
RSEG section :type [flag] [(align)]

*section* The name of the section.

*type* The memory type, which can be either CODE, CONST, or DATA.

*NOROOT* means that the section fragment is discarded by the linker if
no symbols in this section fragment are referred to. Normally, all
section fragments except startup code and interrupt vectors should set
this flag. The default mode is ROOT which indicates that the section
fragment must not be discarded.

*align* The power of two to which the address should be aligned, in most
cases in the range 0 to 30.
The default align value is 0, except for code sections where the
default is 1.

Here is the section for the stack that I use for my LPC2103 project.

//*************************************************************************
// Stack and heap segments.

Thanks Charles for your response, i blindly followed your suggestion.
Now it is saying

Fatal Error[e72]: Segment UND_STACK must be defined in a segment
definition option (-Z, -b or -P)

is there something missing that i need there? where can i find this
information and understand what i am doing?

You have to go into your xcl file that is listed under options for
your project link section and add the following lines.

//*************************************************************************
// Stack and heap segments.
//*************************************************************************

-D_ABT_STACK_SIZE0

-Z(DATA)ABT_STACK+_ABT_STACK_SIZE=RAMSTART-RAMEND

Hi all,
I have used the LPC2104 previously and am familiar with the ARM. I
used the IAR embedded workbench to finish that project and have done so.
Now i am starting a new project with Rev. 4.41 of the IAr embedded
work bench, and an LPC2103, but i keep getting an error saying :

Fatal Error[e72]: Segment ABT_STACK must be defined in a segment
definition option (-Z, -b or -P)

What exactly does that mean and how can i fix it. I remember in the
beginning they had a major probelm with a linker file and they had to
redo it and send me one, and everything worked fine after that.

I am also using the Jlink to flash and debug the ARM, writing in C
code and my tiny code compiles fine.

Can someone help me with this?
Is the Kiel IDE better in terms of setting up projects and linking
them, is that process more transparent to the user, in Kiel?? Start a New Thread
