Cyclone III Starter Board - build error: * overlaps section *

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

 I have the Cyclone III Starter Board and I want to make a simple NIOS C/C++ application for this board. I chose the template count binary (but other templates also don't work). When I press "build" I get the following errors:   ld: section .rodata overlaps section .exceptions count_binary_0 line 0 1254122024054 60 ld: section .rwdata overlaps section .text count_binary_0 line 0 1254122024054 61   I think that I maybe use the wrong PTF-File (CIII_NiosII_Small.ptf, 56 KB)...?   What else could be the problem?   Regards, stefan__   ______   nios: NIOS II Version: 8.0, Build: 214 os: Windows Vista Enterprise fpga: Cyclone III   ______   edit: As I made the following steps it works:   - Set System Library Properties like in this tutorial (http://www.nioswiki.com/cyclone_iii_-_nios_ii_-_starter_board) - Copy the PTF-File in your current project directory - remove the write protection from every file (in your current project directory)

Try a PTF file from another example, I guess the CIII_NiosII_Small doesn't have enough memory to hold your code. 

Alternatively you can also try to compile with optimisations and a small C library to reduce the code size.

Thanks for your response.
