I developed a program to communicate with uart using arm9 (with reference as James P Lynch's example demo_at91sam7_blink_flash.). I send three string messages using uart and worked perfectly.. but when i increased the number of messages the last portions of main function is not working.. initial messages were displayed in the hyper terminal.. in the Insight debugger there is no error. is there any special considerations as the main function contains more strings and function calls??

I am not sure how you could expect an answer without making the code available. Your code is broken, and since there are any number of ways you might have implemented serial I/O how are we supposed to know what the problem could be? How are you outputting the strings? If through printf() have you flushed the buffer? Is your UART interface polled or interrupt driven? If it is interrupt driven, how large is the output buffer? What happens if the buffer is full? Does it discard data or block? If all you have observed is that not all the data arrives, it may not be a serial output problem at all, the code may stopped working for some other reason. For example is your stack large enough? I could go on asking dumb questions, but actually rather than wild guesses how about some usable information from you?

629K download!? Have you tried to narrow this down yourself using the
usual debug techniques? It is a big ask to get someone to wade through
all that with no real idea what the problem is or its symptoms (you gave
a very vague description).
You do have a debugger right?
yes i debugged it.. but insight shows no error.. is there any problem in declaring a function as void function_name(void) and int function_name(void) (..with return) in gcc? is there any difference in the code generated??
