-rw-base address
This option sets the execution addresses of the region containing the RW
output section at
address
. The default address is at the end of the RW
section.
-rwpi
This option makes the load and execution region containing the RW and
ZI output section position-independent. If this option is not used the
region is marked as absolute. The
-rwpi
option is ignored if
-rw-base
is
not also used. Usually each writable input section must be read-write
position-independent.
If you want more control over how the sections are placed in an image, use the
-scatter
option and specify a scatter-load description file.
Using scatter-load description files for a simple image
The command-line options (
-ro-base
,
-rw-base
,
-ropi
, and
-rwpi
) create simple images.
You can create the more complex images by using the
-scatter
command-line option
to specify a scatter-load description file. The
-scatter
option is mutually exclusive with
the use of any of the simple memory map options
-ro-base
,
-rw-base
,
-ropi
, or
-rwpi
.
For more information on the linker and scatter-load description files, see the ADS Linker
and Utilities Guide and the Writing Code for ROM chapter in the ADS Developer
Guide.
