Error: __vector_table not found when dowloading

[sue]

Posted on January 29, 2013 at 05:28

Using STM32F103ZE and IAR Embedded Workbench IDE 5.4 using assembler (no C).

The program assembles and links with no errors.

When selecting ''download and debug'' option the following errors occur:

Warning: __vector_table symbol not found.

E-entry value: 0x08000000 does not match reset vector value: 0x5c24f64e

Initial SP-main value: 0xba00f8df uncertain.

Warning - stack pointer is set up to incorrect alignment. Stack address: 0xba00f8df

I am using the standard ''generic_cortex.icf'' which contains:

''define symbol __ICFEDIT_intvec_start__ = 0x00000000''

which I have tried changing to ''define...=0x20000000'' but this does not fix the error.

Program contains at the top:

SECTION CSTACK:DATA:NOROOT(3)

SECTION .intvec:CODE_NOROOT(2)

       PUBLIC __vector_table

       PUBLIC __iar_program_start

       PUBLIC __vector_table_0x1c

       DATA

__vector_table

DCD sfe(CSTACK)

DCD __iar_program_start

DCD NMI_handler

etc.

I would greatly appreciate assistance with this. I have combed through all the reference manuals and trawled the internet to no avail.   Thank you

So you've been fighting this problem for 18 months?

I think this

SECTION .intvec:CODE_NOROOT(2)

should be this

SECTION .intvec:CODE:NOROOT(2)

Hi Clive, sorry I typo'd.  I do have : and not _.  No haven't been fighting it for 18 months.  Had to leave it and do a heap of other things and have just come back to it.  thanks for your reply.

do you have any other suggestions?

a bit late but I ran into that same issue and spent a couple hours on it...

I got the same cryptic error message when trying to load/debug an fully compiled image using IAR 7.20.  It turned out that my project was not configured to include debug information.  All I had to do was check the ''include debug information in output'' under Options -> Linker -> Output

Hope it helps someone else.
