LPCXpresso v 7.6.2

[rhllr...@gmail.com]

Hi Rich,

I'm still testing: here are my results so far:

Text Machines

A) Samsung Netbook, Intel Atom, Windows 7 starter

B) Sony VGC-LV1S, Intel Core 2 Duo, Windows Vista pro

C) Dell Latitude E7240, Core i5, Windows 8.1

LPCXpresso Versions

7.8.0_426 (latest version)

7.6.2_326

Tests:

1. Follow Instructions here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1slsXLszXMmU-r7CLa7WZ4IaerDJ3WHplIKvlW-h4VUM/edit?pli=1

2. Run pre-existing make file in Device folder

Results

On machine A with v7.8.0 both tests built successfully and created hex files around 307K in size.  However, when deployed to the pixy I got the invalid address range error and tried quite a few things to try to resolve.  I figured it might be a linking issue. I have done a lot of dev on that machine and have versions of Cygwin and mingw and generally all sorts of stuff in the PATH..

I hadn't seen the other forum comment about versions but discovered you were on v7.6.2 from doing a GIT diff

On machine B with v7.6.2 I got a working hex file.

Replacing the version on on machine A with v7.6.2 and I got a working hex file from both tests.  Great!  

I did some comparison between the 2 versions.  The noticeable difference is that the 7.8.0 hex file lines start :10800 rather than :10000.  I.e.

:020000041001E9

:108000000000000000000000000000000000000070

:108010000000000000000000000000000000000060

:108020000000000000000000000000000000000050

rather than

:020000041400E6

:1000000000800020CD010014910100149301001420

:1000100095010014970100149901001400000000DC

:100020000000000000000000000000009B01001420

The build steps seemed to produce different results in the main_m0 project - the rest looked the same.

The cool thing is that it is working for me now on 7.6.2.  So it's worth updating the instructions here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1slsXLszXMmU-r7CLa7WZ4IaerDJ3WHplIKvlW-h4VUM/edit?pli=1

to specify 7.6.2 or add a GitHub readme.  I'm going to put in a couple more hours testing before cracking on with my project.  Happy to contribute directly to instructions or have a go at resolving on v7.8.0.  Whatever you think adds most value?

Thanks for all the effort you've put into this.

Hi Rich, 

Excellent info-- thanks!!   I just updated the readme doc.  

I suspect the regression has to do with this issue:

I just posted a follow-up to see if we can get some clues on how to fix.  They are pretty good about answering questions.

thanks!
