warning: creating output section ".sysmem" without a SECTIONS specification

Lunbo Lee

Hi All,

I am trying to make a standalone DSP/BIOS executable on DM6437. But while building I am getting
the following warning.
    warning: creating output section ".sysmem" without a SECTIONS specification.
If in none BIOS applications, just include .sysmem command in the .cmd file like this:
(...)
SECTIONS
{
    (...)
    .sysmem        >   (...)
}
and the warning will disappear.

But in BIOS applications, the .cmd file is generated by DSP/BIOS automatically, and can not be modified directly.

so, how can I remove this warning ?

Thanks,

Michael Lee

Michael,

You actually can have a DSP/BIOS project with your own custom linker command file. If you create the linker command file and add it to your project, then it needs to reference the linker command file that is generated by the configuration step.

1) Create a file named something like "myproj.cmd" and add it to your project.
2) First line of myproj.cmd should reference the auto-generated file, such as "-l myprojcfg.cmd".
