Cyclic memory section dependency error message

I'm getting a 'cyclic memory section dependency with section ...' error message when linking, what does this mean?

This error message comes from CrossStudio's ld linker script generator and is produced when there is a cyclic dependency detected when placing the sections. For example the placement of the first section is dependent on the second which in turn is dependent on the first.

The usual cause for this error message is that you have load and run sections in different segments of placement file and the order of those sections are not the same.
