Have you tried talking to IAR technical support? They are usually very responsive and quite helpful.

I've never used IAR on the 8051, but IDATA is a pretty universal term for any and all 8051 derivatives. The maximum amount of IDATA on 8051 derivative is 256 bytes. And you can't actually use all of that, because you need at least one register bank. The fact that the linker is telling you that it has at least one segment of 0x1d9 (473) bytes that wants to go into IDATA means that something is very, very wrong, because there is not, and cannot ever be, that much IDATA memory.

This sounds like it could come from a problem in compiler settings. Perhaps you telling the compiler to put all data defined in C source into IDATA when it should be going into external data space.

I would still suggest that you contact IAR support. -- Jack Klein Home: http://JK-Technology.Com FAQs for comp.lang.c http://c-faq.com/ comp.lang.c++ http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/ alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++ http://www.club.cc.cmu.edu/~ajo/docs/FAQ-acllc.html

Hi all,
We have a licensed IAR Product Version: 7.20A.

We have application sources which are already built on IAR -EW8051 version
2.20C/WIN.

we tried to build the above application sources with the latest version
:7.20A of IAR. But it resulting many errors and warnings such as
reserved/keyword errors have been displayed.
We tried it in many ways(by applying migration tips available in your
online documentation), but still, we couldn't succeeded in building the
application.

Specifications says
&ldquo;In a TIUSB3410 chip, under normal operation mode the 10K ROM is mapped
to (0x8000&minus;0xA7FF) in code space. The internal 16K RAM is mapped to
address range (0x0000&minus;0x3FFF) in code space. Buffers, MMR, and I/O are
mapped to address range (0xF800&minus;0xFFFF) in data space.&rdquo;

I am getting the following error while building the TIUSB3410 source
code.
Error[e16]: Segment IDATA_Z (size: 0x1d9 align: 0) is too long for segment
definition. At least 0x154 more bytes  
needed. The problem occurred while processing the segment placement
command  
"-Z(IDATA)IDATA_I,IDATA_Z,IDATA_N=08-_IDATA_END", where at the moment of
placement the available  
memory ranges were "IDATA:7b-ff" 
   Reserved ranges relevant to this placement: 
   IDATA:8-f            VREG 
   IDATA:10-19          DATA_Z 
   IDATA:1a-1f          IDATA_I 
   IDATA:21-ff          IDATA_I 
   BIT:0-7              BREG 
   BIT:90-97            SFR_AN 
   BIT:b0-b7            SFR_AN 



After reading through the TIUSB3410 specifications, I modified the Linker
script as follows.

I define the Code, XData, IXData 'START' and 'END' as follow?

CODE   -- 0x0000 - 0x3FFF
XDATA  -- 0xF800 - 0xFFFF  
IXDATA -- 0xF800 - 0xFFFF

I define the PDATA with ??? not sure about this
-D_PDATA_START=0x0000          // First address for PDATA memory
-D_PDATA_END=0x00FF            // Last address for PDATA memory

Rest of the file is as follows

// Special SFRs
// ------------
//    CODE bank setup
-D_FIRST_BANK_ADDR=0x10000
-D_NR_OF_BANKS=0x10
//
//    Register bank setup
//
-D?REGISTER_BANK=0             // Default register bank (0,1,2,3).
-D_REGISTER_BANK_START=0       // Start address for default register bank
(00,08,10,18).
//
//    PDATA page setup
//
-D?PBANK_NUMBER=0F	           // high byte of 16-bit address to the PDATA
area
-D?PBANK=A0                    // Most significant byte in MOVX A,@R0.
(0xA0 is sfr P2)
-D?PBANK_EXT=0xEA              // Most significant byte in MOVX A,@R0.
(0xEA is for Dallas DS80C390)
//
//    Virtuel register setup
//
///-D_NR_OF_VIRTUAL_REGISTERS=0x20
-D?VB=20                       // Used to refer to BREG as byte.
//
//
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// Include the lnk_base command file
// =================================
-f lnk_base.xcl

I am new to 8051 and IAR linked scripts. I read though the 8051 compiler
and linker manuals provided by IAR and could correct some part linker
parameters as mentioned above. Please let me know if I am doing it right.
If required any changes let me know
