Do you know what is causing this error and how can I fix it?

Thank you

Hi @JuanJRom
Did you try googling the error? There seems to be a few common fixes to the "too many sections" issue:

Hi @mortbopet

I tried googling the error, I found adding "-mbig-obj" when calling cmake, but it didn't work for me, then with the information it gave me, I opened "CMakeLists.txt" and added "CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS = - Wa, - mbig-obj "and this fixed the error, , the simulator is working now.

Thanks!
