Forum URL: https://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/compiler/f/343/t/656680
Found In Release: C2000_16.9.4.LTS
Fix In Release: C2000_16.9.6.LTS
Workaround: Upgrade to 16.9.6.LTS or higher.
Release Notes: The problem here is that the user is feeding at least one object file compiled with C2000 16.9.6.LTS into the 16.9.4.LTS linker, which is not a supported use case. Part of the fix for CODEGEN-2399 was to fix the alignment and size of CIE and FDE entries in .debug_frame. This change is forward-compatible, but not backward-compatible. Thus, because one of the object files was compiled with 16.9.6.LTS, linker version 16.9.6.LTS or higher must be used.
