Hi Jason,
Could you please teach me how to set up my linker script correctly?

Thanks and regards,
Colin

Nothing is wrong with them.  You need to adjust your linker script to=20
provide explicit LMAs so that the ICE will load them at the physical=20
address, rather than trying to load them at the VMA (virtual address).
