init.asm zeo initialization of bss section

Patrick Ruf

Hi,

I use StarterWare and therefore the init.asm file. In this file the .bss section gets initialized to "0" (Clear_Bss_Section). As I use eabi (ELF) I think this is already done in __TI_auto_init.
Is it save to omit Clear_Bss_Section? Is this included in init.asm if someone uses COFF?

Thanks and best regards,
Patrick

    I can confirm that, under EABI, the .bss section is cleared to all 0 in the boot routine that is in the RTS library supplied with the compiler.  I am not familiar with init.asm from StarterWare, or how it is intended to be combined (or not) with the compiler supplied boot routine.

    Thanks and regards,
