<b>Step16:</b> The IDE is not able to locate the library files as shown in line 37.<br>
Click on <b>Options for Target</b> to add the libfile path and also to configure the ROM,RAM address.

=Setup Bin File Generation=
<b>Step20:</b> Set IROM1 start address as 0x2000. Bootloader will be stored from 0x0000-0x2000 so application should start from 0x2000<br>
[[File:Keil5_Setup20.png]]<br><br>


<b>Step21:</b> Write the command to generate the <b>.bin</b> file from <b>.axf</b> file<br>
Command: fromelf --bin Objects\KeilSetup.axf --output KeilSetup.bin<br>
[[File:Keil5_Setup21.png]]<br><br>


<b>Step22:</b> Now enable the linker option to use the IROM1 address from target settings<br>

<b>Step23:</b> .Bin file is generated after a rebuild.<br>
 Check the project folder for the generated .Bin(ER_ROM1) file.<br>
