Hi Richard, I have tried the wayout suggested by you but problem still remains. I used the following file: Sym.s: .global MaskInterrupt .type MaskInterrupt %function .equ MaskInterrupt, 0x00c008f8 Note: MaskInterrupt is Thumb function located at ROM address(0x00c008f8). When my application calls this function then there is no Interworking stub called. Also there is no __MaskInterrupt_from_arm function present in my application Map file. Kindly check the above file & suggest a wayout.

I will try the following to certify if Image is running correctly on target. Another thing, the symbols I am linking are in ROM. ROM code is compiled with ADSv1.2 & "symbols.o" was generated using "-symdefs symbols.o" option for armlink. Now when I link my Flash (project) code with "symbols.o" using ADSv1.2 or RVDSv2.2,linker generates image with no error but if I use GCC-ARM ,linker gives a error " symbols.o: File format not recognised". This occurs due to EABI differences between ADS & GCC-ARM. As per your suggestion, one "sym.s" will be included in project code. We want to use the same source code for ADS,RVDS & GCC-ARM(few changes in *.s files are done using perl script). This will make sources to be generic & compiled with above mentioned too chains. Can I change "symbols.o" in a way so that GCC-ARM linker recognises it ? In this way I don?t have to add "sym.s" file.

Notice that __tfunc_from_arm loads the value 0x1235 into a register and issues a bx instruction, which will then correctly switch to Thumb state. R.
