Error in compiling mpc5500 init_code project

This sounds familiar, though I am using a different MPC device and different CodeWarrior (the "microcontroller" eclipse-based version, which is much nicer than the old "classic" IDE, but unfortunately doesn't support your chip).

Basically, the CW initialisation code is crap code quality. It is an appalling mixture of out-dated hand-written assembly (when C code would have been clearer, more portable, and sometimes much faster), it is inconsistent, incomplete, in some parts does completely daft setup (such as for the MMU and caches), fails with some compiler options, and produces lots of warnings. However, /most/ of the time it works. And it is probably not any worse than any other tool vendor's startup code - for some reason, such code is often terrible.

Relocation errors like this occur when the startup code has used assembly code with assumptions about address ranges, such as assuming the address is within the first 64K of flash, or that a branch is within a 16-bit offset. Look to the source of the actual error, and possibly check your linker file setup.

Thank you David. I copied the whole source files and started with a new project, instead of running the project file supplied with mpc5500 init_code project.

Now the error vanished and the code got compiled resulting in an elf file. But, when I start my debugger (PE micro) it shows another error,

"Can't read symbolic for target 'test_init_code.elf'" Any idea?
