5. Various error messages of SCSP / DSP linker


■ Problems related to DSP algorithms

No module.
No module is placed in the algorithm edit window.

Cannot use Coef table when ring buffer is '64k'.
The coefficient table is not available when the ring buffer size is set to 64k.

COEF overflow.
As a result of linking all the modules included in the algorithm, the required number of DSP coefficient data exceeded the allowable number (64), so processing was stopped. Change the algorithm of the DSP program.

ADRS overflow.
As a result of linking all the modules included in the algorithm, the required number of DSP address constant data exceeded the allowable number (32), so processing was stopped. Change the algorithm of the DSP program.

PROG overflow.
As a result of linking all the modules included in the algorithm, the required number of steps of the program exceeded the allowable number (128 steps), so the process was stopped. Change the algorithm of the DSP program.

Ring buffer too small.
Link processing was canceled because the ring buffer size setting on the Linker is smaller than the total ring buffer usage of the modules included in the algorithm. Change the ring buffer size setting on the Linker, or change the algorithm of the DSP program.

The number of MODULATOR is not specified.
The modulator number has not been set for the module that requires the input of the modulator signal.

Outport of IN module unconnected.
The output side of the "IN" module is not connected. Be sure to connect.

Unconnected module exists.
There is a module that is not connected properly. All input ports must be connected to one of the output ports.


■ Problems related to the development environment

SATURN SOUND BOARD not connected.
The development board is not connected (only when the Linker application is started).


■ Problems with memory mapping on the target

DSPRAM Size too small.
The DSP external RAM area (on the development board) reserved in the memory map settings is smaller than the DSP external RAM size required by the DSP program you are trying to download, so the download was canceled. Change the memory map settings or the algorithm of the DSP program.

ModElementSize too small.
The area for Software EG / LFO element data (on the development board) reserved in the memory map settings is smaller than the size of the Software EG / LFO element data linked to the DSP program you are trying to download, so download is stopped. Did. Change the memory map settings or reduce the number of SoftwareEG / LFO elements.

DSP SpareProgramArea too small.
The download was canceled because the memory area for the spare DSP program (on the development board) reserved in the memory map settings is smaller than the size of the DSP program to be downloaded to the spare area. Change the memory map settings or reduce the number of coefficient tables and SoftwareEG / LFO elements linked to the DSP program.


■ Linker application operation problems

Out of Memory.
The memory area for Linker to perform various processes cannot be secured.

Can't get Temporary Memory for "size to fit".
The memory required to execute the "size to fit" command cannot be secured.

Can not allocate TableBuffer.
The memory area for reading the coefficient table data from the file cannot be secured.

Table file'filename' not found.
The coefficient table file cannot be found.

EXL file not found.
Execution format file (EXL) cannot be found.

Cannot send EXL file (-1).
Execution format file (EXL) cannot be generated normally.

Cannot send EXL file (-2).
The executable file (EXL) cannot be opened.

Cannot send EXL file (-3).
Information such as the ring buffer size (RBLen) and the number of coefficient tables included in the executable file (EXL) cannot be read.

Cannot send EXL file (Out of memory) (-5).
The memory area for reading the coefficient table data included in the executable file (EXL) cannot be secured.

Cannot send EXL file (-6).
The coefficient table data included in the executable file (EXL) cannot be read.

Cannot send EXL file (-7).
The Software EG / LFO element data included in the executable file (EXL) cannot be read.


■ Warning for operation

You have not done "Link" & "Download" yet. If you continue to save, "YLI" file will be out of accord with "EXL" file.
I am trying to save without executing "Link" or "Download". If you save as it is, there may be a difficult difference in the contents of the algorithm file (extension YLI) and the executable file (extension EXL).


■ Problems when downloading various data (via SCSI)

Cannot send data to Target (1).
An error occurred while trying to write the file name of the executable file to the system area.

Cannot send data to Target (2).
An error occurred while trying to write the DSP ring buffer size setting data (RB Ren) to the system area or DSP hardware.

Cannot send data to Target (3).
An error occurred while trying to download the DSP program.

Cannot send data to Target (4).
An error occurred while trying to download information about the coefficient table.

Cannot send data to Target (5).
An error occurred while trying to download the coefficient table data.

Cannot send data to Target (6).
An error occurred while trying to download the SoftwareEG / LFO element data.

Cannot send data to Target (7).
An error occurred while trying to download information about the number of SoftwareEG / LFO elements.

Cannot send data to Target.
The DSP program (EXB) cannot be downloaded to the spare area.
