Roadblock :(

ntewinkel

It's a sad day today.

 

I thought I'd check out the web server example, as this is what I wanted to base my webcam on. But alas, it seems I've run into the code size limit for the free version of IAR Embedded Workbench: "Error[Li016]: size limit exceeded: 38544 > 32768 ".

 

Well that sucks, doesn't it?

 

I could try the time limited trial, but I can see myself wanting to tweak things randomly in the future as I have time available.

I suppose I could just use it to check out the samples.

 

And maybe it's possible for me to pare down the webserver example to the point where I can just have it send a picture, letting my regular hosted website take care of the rest.

 

I think I'll check out the IAR website to see what my options are.

 

Update: Using the IAR License Manager (Help->License Manager), I was able to get the time limited evaluation by simply registering again. As a bonus, most of the fields were even pre-filled from my previous visit there image. The http sample now compiles without the code size warning.

 

Another Update: IAR will lease me a license for "just" $300 per month. Ouch. It sounds like the full license would cost a few thousand - definitely not something for the hobbyists amongst us.

  • Hi Nico,

     

    Yes, there is nothing more annoying than finding out your toys are limited.

    Just remember that every set back is an opportunity to innovate.

     

    Have you considered doing multiple loads using fixed addressing?  I used to do this to implement multi-tasking back in the old PDP-11 days when memory was $1 USD per bit.

     

    Just a thought,

    DAB

    Sorry to hear you hit a limit. I'm guessing it was the networking library, that was probably fairly large?

    Another alternative is to use GNU, but then you lose the nice IDE.

    Thanks DAB and Shabaz, for the ideas.

     

    I don't want to get into anything complicated, so basically it either works or doesn't. I think I can probably just strip down the code to where it does only what I need for the birdcam.

     

    I've messaged IAR to see if there is any other option, like maybe I can switch to a 30 day unlimited trial and then go back to the code limited trial after trying all the samples and figuring out how to trim them down.
