Flash Download failed - Could not load file .axf Issue

Hi,

When I compile a project, I get an error: '.\Objects\uygulama1.axf' - 1 Error(s), 0 Warning(s). Target not created. Then I click Download, I get an error: 'Flash Download failed - Could not load file'

I tried to solve many times and searched on the internet, however it couldn't help me to fix the issue. 

I wonder why Keil can not make xxx.axf file. I use 

MDK-ARM Version 5.25

I also have a project which has an .axf file. On my project, .axf the  couldn't found. So I copied the file from the project I have. I renamed the .axf file as 'uygulama1.axf'. This clearly worked.

But I would like to fix the issue for the next projects.

You can see the issue screenshots below.

Thanks in advance.

Says the link failed because you are missing a symbol.

Turn off asserts, or add the code it needs into main.c

#ifdef  USE_FULL_ASSERT

/**  * @brief  Reports the name of the source file and the source line number  *         where the assert_param error has occurred.  * @param  file: pointer to the source file name  * @param  line: assert_param error line source number  * @retval None  */void assert_failed(uint8_t* file, uint32_t line){  /* User can add his own implementation to report the file name and line number,     ex: printf('Wrong parameters value: file %s on line %d\r\n', file, line) */

  /* Infinite loop */

  while (1)  {  }}#endif

Thank you for the attention

I tried your solution. But I couldn&39t fix it.

I tried another ways to fix. Eventully i fixed it: Options-> C / C + + -> preprocessor Symboles the Define: Enter USE_STDPERIPH_DRIVER instead of USE_STDPERIPH_dRIVER, STM32F4XX, HSE_VELUE=8000000

This way helped me to fix the issue.

Go to  Options->Output at the end of Name of Executable add .axf

This way helped me to fix same issue.

Thank you for the solution it worked perfectly with me.

little bit trouble in finding options tho so no more trouble

in KEIL go to Project --> Options for target 'your project name' --> Output --> Name of Executable just add .axf after your project name.8)
