Installation without the reset didn't fixed it, before doing this I uninstalled the driver from device manager.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll add this information to itch and the application in case anyone else hits this.

there is a bsr.w _adj_void but this label is in a data section where there is no code so reassembling failed.
Probably an IRA problem?

Yes, this may be a bug in ira. In this case the

_clear_space

symbol is in the HUNK_SYMBOL of code root hunk 39

ira -INFO ArchonII-ADEPT

    ...
    Module 37 : DATA ,PUBLIC   ,0 Bytes.

    Module 38 : BSS ,PUBLIC   ,0 Bytes.

    Module 39 : CODE ,PUBLIC   ,888 Bytes.
      Hunk_Reloc32: 36 entries
      hunk_symbol:
        _clear_space = 00006218
        _check_control = 00006296
    ...

However, preprocessing with ira with -keepzh results in the

_clear_space

symbol being output in data section 37 of the disassembly

ira -a -label=1 -radix=0 -compat=bi -keepbin -keepzh -M68000 -offset=$10000 -entry=$10000 -preproc ArchonII-ADEPT

ArchonII-ADEPT.asm:

        ...
	SECTION S_37,DATA

_clear_space:


	SECTION S_38,BSS

SECSTRT_38:


	SECTION S_39,CODE

SECSTRT_39:
	LINK.W	A6,#-16			;16218: 4e56fff0
	CLR.L	-8(A6)			;1621c: 42aefff8
        ...

It looks like a symbol at the start of a section may be incorrectly output in previous sections if they are empty.

So is it something that need to be reported to PHX? If yes then I’ll let you do it

It would be better to investigate it further first. There may be a simple solution. I'll assemble a minimal repro case and debug with a locally built ira.

EDIT: I have hacked together a potential fix. Please find attached a patched ira.exe to replace the one in the AiraForce folder. I hope it works for you. More details in the Small IRA Tutorial thread.

it worked.

Excellent. Thanks for letting me know. Hopefully this will be rolled into the next ira beta and I'll update the executables in the next release.

Thanks.
