Instead of below immediate address:    LCR #8000 Use a symbol with address that is resolved at link time:     .global branch_address     LCR branch_address Or use XAR indirect addressing:     LCR *XAR7 Or use a compiler release prior to 20.2.0.LTS, or use 20.2.2.LTS (which will have fix)

C28 assembler asm2000 has below INTERNAL ERROR for LCR #immediate. eg:     LCR #8000 INTERNAL ERROR: asm2000 experienced a segmentation fault while processing section .text file /tmp/TI7tHTHcEpf line 2920 This is caused by a defect in the TI Assembler.
