I took a simple assembler code from TI home page and got the following 
message (LED flashing with ez430). 
The C-version of this LED flasher works correctly. 
Does anybody know about this?

Thanks

Error[e16]: Segment RESET (size: 0x2 align: 0x1) is too long for 
segment definition. At least 0x2 more bytes needed. The problem 
occurred while  processing the segment placement command "-Z(CONST)
RESETFE-FFFF", where at the moment of placement the available memory 
ranges were  "-none-"   

Reserved ranges relevant to this placement:   
fffe-ffff            Absolute code from msp430x2xx_fet_1

I believe this means that you have the reset vector
defined twice.

Thanks a lot. 
i see only only definition. May it be inside an include file? See 
code below. 

#include "msp430x20x1.h"

SetupP1     bis.b   #001h,&P1DIR            ; Set P1.0 to output

                                            ;
Mainloop    xor.b   #001h,&P1OUT            ; Toggle P1.0

            jnz     L1                      ; Delay over?
            jmp     Mainloop                ; Again

The other definition is part of the C startup code. If you don't want it 
then you have to specicy this in Options->Linker->Config->Override 
Program entry. Note that if you do this you are responsible for 
initializing normal things lika global C variables, the stack pointer etc.
