Linker Scripts

The final step in creating an executable from object files and libraries is linking. This is performed by a linker that accepts linker command language files called linker scripts. The primary purpose of a linker script is to describe the memory layout of the target machine, and specify where each section of the program should be placed in memory.

SDK provides a linker script generator to simplify the task of creating a linker script. The linker script generator GUI examines the target hardware platform and determines the available memory sections. The only action required by you is to assign the different code and data sections in the ELF file to different memory regions.
