Your Keil IDE probably has an option to generate a map file. This is a text file with usually a .map extension that can be viewed with the IDE editor. It identifies how much RAM and flash your code requires and is therefore much more useful than the size of an AXF file. Compare the .map information with the processor's 64KB of RAM and 256 KB of flash.

The Keil IDE in simulation mode executes your code entirely within the PC. Special software included with the IDE replaces target hardware with software functions. When you download your code into the EVAL board or any other processor, you are in target mode where your code is interacting with real, not simulated hardware. All of this information is available in the materials provided with the EVAL board and Keil IDE. If you are have a language problem, get someone to help you. Cheers, Hal

For using Keil, start with the MDK-ARM Primer

The uVision User Guide is here:

http://www.keil.com/support/man/docs/armcc/

It includes a couple of worked examples:

The RealView Linker User Guide is here:

In particular, take a look at this section - getting information about the generated image:

There is also a RealView Linker Reference Guide:

Keil provide a number of STM32 examples here:

Speak to your local Distributor about local training & support in your own language. If this is a commercial project, you could try contacting one of the design consultants listed here:

(again, your local Distributor may know of others).
