Understanding Linker requirements and program loading - Sumit Bhatnagar - Sep 21 21:58:29 2008
I am trying to understand the various files generated by the compiler
and assembler.
After reading many sources I am now thoroughly confused.
What decides where the code is loaded and how to configure it to load
it to Flash and how to load it to RAM. How does this relate to the
memory of a MCU. What is the role of the map file.
Thank you,
Sumit

Hi, Sumit,
You can use .mac file and .xcl file to decide to load code .
I'm studying how to modify .mac file and .xcl file.
We can discuss eatch other.

Is the xcl and mac file specific to a particular product. As I understand t=
hat the GCC uses other formats. This seems to me to be IAR file format.

hi,
Yes, xcl and mac file is IAR file format. But you can read xcl and=20
mac file to learn something from it . Maybe it can help you .
