Document Summary

Linker produces a file loaded into the microcontroller using the correct types of memory for each portion of the program: combines object files to produce an absolute file that is loaded into the microcontroller"s memory. Developing assembly language programs using codewarrior ide. This chapter describe how the linker locates each of the various parts of an assembly language program in the proper memory. Typical program development (figure 6-1 on page 121: design and document software. Use top-down design strategy and document all modules: code the modules, assemble or compile the modules. Produces object code files that will be linked together to form the executable program: determine the hardware memory map. Find where rom and ram are located in the target hardware to link everything together. Place the code in rom and data in ram: link modules together. Using a linker program to link all the modules together and locate code and data in the proper memory type: test the modules.
