STM CircleOS forum / Primer-2 Max Flash size CODE

Hi gentleman,
I'm developing an application on Primer-2 but if I exceed 8K the compiler/linker tells me:

----------------Make Started: 'Application0' in configuration 'Circle_Release'--------------------------

Build failed

The question is:
Which is the maximum space for the program ?

Thank you very much in advance for the answer.

There is no limitation for programming, but debugging is possible up to 32KB (including the first 24KB of the OS) with the standard version.
If you want to extend this value you have to modify the ld file. Debugging will not work if your program execute over the 32KB border. However, you could spit the constant and the program (no problem if you put the constant over the 32KB).

Sorry, a colleague of mines just told me that it would not work... RIDE will refuse to debug after programming over the 32KB border, even if this part is not executable. To be modified...

Hi Francis,

At the moment I resolve my problem using the answer at:
Circle OS Max App Size? by Kremer
This solution has a limit not to allow debugging.
I hope that in the future will give the opportunity to do debugging on at least 16/32K.

Thank you
E.M.
