Link object file from outside of project

Mark Flamer

I have compiled and assembled a file of C source using gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_2-2015q4-20151219-win32. I would like to link this .o file into an executable using CCS 6.1. The CCS project will be built using the TI ARM compiler v5.2.5. I have 2 questions,

-Is this possible? (with just C, no C++)

-How do I tell the linker to use my .o file?

Thanks.

I managed to get the project to link the external .o file. But it crashes when execution hits a call into the external code. Any ideas on what to try next?

Do you see the crash when debugging the code in CCS? What is the exact behavior, does CCS shut down, hang, etc.?
Which target device are you running the code on?

I posted to this thread a few days ago, looks like it didnt stick for some reason. The problem was in my code. The linking of object files from gcc and TI compiler is working just fine. This is really great because I can use the best of both worlds now. Thanks.
