I'm trying to compile a project for school, which all my fellow classmates have no trouble compiling. This assignment is nothing more than dragging already written source code and compiling an, already proven to be a working, program. I have added the file startup_stm32f30x.s from ST Microelectronics website, as per instructions in my school assignment, and i have not modified it at all. When i hit Rebuild all IAR gives errors on basically everything assembler.

For example:

AREA, SPACE, PROC and ENDP gives Error[40] Bad Instruction.

EXPORT Reset_Handler [WEAK] gives Error[0] Invalid syntax

ALIGN gives a rather verbose error called Error[413]: 'ALIGN' is illegal. Use directive ALIGNROM or ALIGNRAM (the first parameter is raised to the power of 2, the second is a 32-bit fill value).

I am right at the start of the course, and i am not supposed to yet be able to handle, and/or find solutions beyond your ye olde "Gosh! I forgot to plug the cable in".

Does anyone have an idea of where to continue now? I will happily supply whatever more information is needed to understand my problem, but please be patient with me being a noob on these things!

    \$\begingroup\$ @LeonHeller May be it's not directly about electronics design, but I'll use some clemency for this one. EE.SE is about the only stack where an IAR question can get answered. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ But there are numerous software related questions on electronics.stackexchange.com so forgive me for thinking that this might be the place for my question :) Out of curiosity @LeonHeller, were do you propose i take these kinds of questions in the future? \$\endgroup\$

It seems I had picked a startup_stm32f30x.s that wasn't for IAR EWARM. It worked better upon finding another file named the same and trying with that.
