TI ARM3 Linker file questions in automated compile/link environment like the BLE Stack

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5529

Hi there,


using these ready made sample projects for the CC26xx family and MSP430 chip family left me without in depth knowledge how these projects are controlled for linking.

My questions are:

is there any reference for the syntax of the .cmd files ?

Where do I have to look if I want to know how and what .cmd file is created automatically ?

How is the creation of these 'automatic' .cmd files controlled and can be influenced ?

I there any documentation on the Boundary tool (Boundary.exe) available ?


Having these answers would be nice.

Thank you

Ralph

    For an overview, see this wiki article.  For all the details, see the Linker chapter in the MSP430 assembly language tools manual.

    When you create your project in CCS, you indicate which processor you use.  CCS picks a linker command file for you based on this input.  It appears as yet another source file in the project.  A typical linker command file name is lnk_msp430f5529.cmd.

    That is not a compiler tools executable.  I am not familiar with it.

    Thanks and regards,
