RM46L430: GCC Linker file with HALCoGen code

Michael

Part Number: RM46L430
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HALCOGEN

I'm trying to use GNU tools to compile the HALCoGen code for RM46x micro. I've set the option in HALCoGen and it is correctly outputting asm and c files which I can compile. What am I supposed to use as linker file? I was trying to manually create one based off of the armcl cmd file, though I'm not well versed in linker files. I would think that TI supports this somehow, given they provide everything else needed for GNU. Is there a way to generate one that I am missing? thank you

Hello Michael,

The HALCOGen generates a linker command file as well: sys_link.ld

As Chester reported in the following thread, there is a SW bug in line #63 of the sys_linker.ld file: .ARM.extab : { *(.ARM.extab* .gnu.linkonce.armextab.*) } >RAM

The correct one should be: .ARM.extab : { *(.ARM.extab* .gnu.linkonce.armextab.*) } >FLASH
