unresolved symbols remain Code composer studio

I have been trying out my first assembly level program on MSP4302355 microcontroller. All i am doing is just moving values from one register to another. But whenever I compile the code i am getting a errors "error #10234-D: unresolved symbols remain

error #10010: errors encountered during linking; "Register_Mode_Addr_2355.out" not built"

i have tried all i could but still no use.

Please help me out guys thanks in advance

Solution

  • The "unresolved symbols remain" means that the linker failed because it couldn't resolve one or more symbols from your assembled source, most likely the __STACK_END symbol. Suggest you open the console window that shows the build process, and scroll through that looking for the list of unresolved symbols, most likely at the end. This will confirm the __STACK_END symbol which is my guess at the problem. A bit old, but this thread may be helpful.
