Build issues with startup_stm32f10x_ld_vl.s

I'm trying to build a project using startup_stm32f10x_ld_vl.s and I am getting the following errors and warnings:

Error[40]:Bad instruction Warning[410]:DC or DS directive while in CODE area Can someone help me with why there would be warnings with the stock assembler file? The errors and warnings are on the following lines...                 AREA    HEAP, NOINIT, READWRITE, ALIGN=3 _Vectors       DCD     __initial_sp                    ; Top of Stack                 DCD     Reset_Handler                   ; Reset Handler                 DCD     NMI_Handler                     ; NMI Handler                 DCD     HardFault_Handler               ; Hard Fault Handler   Edit: What I am trying to do is create a ''skeleton'' project for my part. So, I started with a Discovery Sample file which used an app specific .c file with the vector table in it and I wanted to switch over to using the .s file that comes with the CMSIS library. But, just adding the .s file isn't enough. What am I missing?

What am I missing?

The right assembler? There are at least three variants of the .s file each tailored to a specific tool chain. The file you cite works with Keil / Realview compilers. If you're using GCC you'd need to start with a different one.

Thank you for your reply. You are correct. I am using IAR and needed a different version. This is a bit confusing for newbies. :)

Thanks.
