Mark,

Sorry to ressurect an old thread but I too am getting the

overlap error while trying to build uTasker1 master is MCUXpresso V25.6.  I've copied the .ld files I downloaded from the thread referenced in your post above and placed them in the appropriate directory to no affect.  Can you please advise on other corrective measures.

On a related note, I've configured the project for a 4mb flash (see attached) yet the build results are still saying 8mb.  Is there another configuration change required?

Memory region         Used Size  Region Size  %age Used
       SPI_FLASH:        8200 B         8 MB      0.10%

µTasker general / Re: Tutorial for Arduino .hex to uTasker acceptable bin application update file

« on: February 28, 2026, 01:04:09 PM »

Thank you Mark.  I've each one and understand in rough terms what needs to be done.  I need to up my game in the native IDE before really having any chance of employing uTasker.  Arduino is good for very quickly blinking LEDs but not really the right tool for core work.

µTasker general / Tutorial for Arduino .hex to uTasker acceptable bin application update file

« on: February 27, 2026, 06:31:12 PM »

I'd like to use uTasker to first look for an application update file on the SD card of a Teensy 4.1 and then wait in USB MSC if at USB cable is plugged in for transfer of an encrypted field update file.

The Teensy 4.1 is running the uTasker pre-compiled binary and it is easy to navigate through Admin to Boot to enable USB MSC enumeration of the Teensy board.  Is there a tutorial for properly converting a Teensy Arduino .hex file to a uTasker acceptable .bin file?  The uTasker_BM_loader.pdf describes using the uTasker conversion utility for a .bin file output to a uTasker acceptable .bin.  Is it safe to assume a simply .hex to .bin conversion the Arduino output will produce an acceptable .bin input to the conversion utility?  There is mention in the uTasker bare minimum loader document of " Its start address must be set to correspond to the start address in the “bare minimum” loader. This can be set in the linker file.".  I am new to Arduino and normal linker files seem to be hidden from the user thus my question regarding a tutorial.

Thanks, Bill
