[SOLVED] Not able to run Proteus Simulation after building project in CooCox

[shomikc]

Hello,

I have made a project using Coocox for Single LED blink for lpc1343. I am new to ARM microcontroller programming.

#include <lpc13xx.h>

void delay(void);

int main(void)
{
	LPC_GPIO0->DIR = (1<<7); //Config PIO0_7 as Output

	while(1)
	{
		LPC_GPIO0->DATA = (1<<7); //Drive output HIGH to turn LED ON
		// Better way would be LPC_GPIO0->DATA |= (1<<7);

		delay();
		LPC_GPIO0->DATA = 0x0; //Drive output LOW to turn LED OFF
		// Better way would be LPC_GPIO0->DATA &= ~(1<<7);

		delay();
	}
	//return 0; //normally this wont execute
}

void delay(void) //Hard-coded delay function
{
	int count,i=0;
	for(count=0; count < 4500000; count++) //You can edit this as per your needs
	{
		i++; //something needs to be here else compiler will remove the for loop!
	}
}

My Project files in Coocox



The circuit I have built in Proteus is



I am using the latest gnu toolchain. The ELF file is created but the hex file is 0 KB. I have tried with both files. With the ELF file the error in proteus is [ELF] Unrecognized attribute form code 17 [U1_CM3CORE] [ELF] ELF file corrupt or loader error at location 131101 [U1_CM3CORE] and with hex file the error is error reading the file and that there is no colon at the first of line.

Can anyone please help me? What am I doing wrong? Thanks and Regards, Shomik Chakraborty.

Getting empty hex file (and probably meaningless elf file as well) makes pretty clear that there's something wrong with your project settings, unlikely a Proteus problem.

As a first step, I'd inspect the compiler and linker reports.

By the way, I presume it's much more fun to run your exercises on a cheap prototype board with hardware debug features.

Thankyou Mr. FvM,

I think you are absolutely right. There seems to be some problem with my project settings. I made the same project in Keil uvision and I got a hex file and ran it on Proteus.

Now I am getting an error Internal exception: out of memory. I agree with your advice and I will try to get a board as soon as possible. Thanks and Regards, Shomik Chakraborty.

Hello, Can anyone please tell me how to solve the problem of error Internal exception: out of memory. What settings will I have to change in uvision to get the simulation in Proteus to work? Thanks and Regards, Shomik Chakraborty.
