platformio run failes due to "cannot move location counter backwards" with lpc1114fn28

[iwaita2ya]

This issue occurs after I updated platformio-core up-to date.
It seems any nxplpc boards that has few RAM (4KB) occurs this issue.
(In fact, any program I wrote for lpc1114fn28 generates same error message below)

iwait@galc2:~/Projects/platformio/platform-nxplpc/examples/mbed-blink$ platformio init --board lpc1114fn28

If possible, please guide me how to downgrade these frameworks above to avoid this issue.
I'm happy to test & confirm any idea/solution if someone provides me. :-)

Hi @iwaita2ya! Indeed, it looks like you are out of RAM. Are you able to compile your project using mbed-cli tool? You can try to use an older version of the platform (3.5.0 with mbed 5.10.1):

[lpc1114fn28]
platform = nxplpc@3.5.0
framework = mbed
board = lpc1114fn28

Hi @valeros ,

I confirmed now the project can be compiled successfully with platformio.ini setting you provided.
Thank you for providing useful info. I will keep in mind when I work with these boards.

JFYI, current mbed-cli OS2 library has issue (mbed.h and some files are missing) and I needed to specify older mbed-cli revision for compiling this example project with mbed-cli.

This mbed-cli OS2 library issue has been raised at:
ARMmbed/mbed-cli#805 (comment)

Probably it's not related to my issue here, but would like to share with you. :-)

Again, Thank you for your kind support and have a nice day!
