Compiler: Inner working of Flash burn Utility(ies)

You need to use a hex utility command file.  And this command file needs to contain a SECTIONS directive that uses the paddr feature to set the address of each section in the output.  I'll illustrate with a very simple example.

Here is an assembly file ...

        ; file.asm

        .data

        ; This directive prevents the linker from removing the section
        ; Normally, this is used only for interrupt vector tables
        .retain

        .word   0x11111111
        .word   0x22222222
        .word   0x33333333
        .word   0x44444444

And here is a linker command file ...

/* link.cmd */

MEMORY
{
    INTERNAL : o = 0x10000000, l = 0x10000000
    EXTERNAL : o = 0x90000000, l = 0x10000000
}

SECTIONS
{
    .data : run = INTERNAL, load = EXTERNAL
}

Here is a command to create an executable named file.out from those inputs.

C:\work\dir>cl6x  file.asm -z -o file.out -m file.map link.cmd
<Linking>
warning: no suitable entry-point found; setting to 0

Here is a way to convert that to ASCII-Hex, using the addresses in the executable.

C:\work\dir>hex6x -a file.out --romwidth=32
Translating to ASCII-Hex format...
   "file.out" .data ==> .data

A hex file is yet another text file.  You can view it with your favorite text editor.  The file created in this case is named file.a0.  Here are the key lines from that file ...

$A90000000,
11 11 11 11 22 22 22 22 33 33 33 33 44 44 44 44

Line 1 shows the address.  Line 2 is the raw data.  

You can control the address in the hex utility output by using a hex utility command file with contents like this one ...

/* roms.cmd */

SECTIONS
{
   .data : paddr = 0x2000
}

That paddr = 0x2000 says the .data output section has address 0x2000 in the hex output.  The address from the executable file is not used.

So, create the hex file with that command file ...

C:\work\dir>hex6x -a file.out --romwidth=32 roms.cmd
Translating to ASCII-Hex format...
   "file.out" .data ==> .data

Now, here are the same lines from the hex utility output ...

$A2000,
11 11 11 11 22 22 22 22 33 33 33 33 44 44 44 44

Notice how the address changed.  You need to do something similar.

Please read more about it in the section titled Controlling the ROM Device Address in the C6000 assembly language tools manual.
