MSP430F2417 question

[john Mcdonald]

Hi everyone,

I have written a program for msp430f169 and now the code exceeds more
than 60k.  I like to transfer it into the msp430f2417 but I get error.
 Basically, I am not sure how to fit the program into 2417 since the
flash memory address is not continuous.  By the way I am using IAR
assembler.   Any help please.

Thank you,
John.

I was wondering about this too.

I think you need to write the code in small chunks and use ORG to
force the linker to skip over the vectors when the next chunk cannot
fit in the lower 64K address anymore.

Sorry for picking up an old thread...

The linker supports placing segments parts into more than one location.
For example, you can use the following:

     -P(CODE)CODE=3100-FFBD,10000-19FFF

In fact, this is taken from the provided linker command files.
