Differences

Entry point set by linker option

The

-entry

option sets the entry point for an image. There can be only one instance of

the

-entry

option to the linker.

Impact

Multiple

-entry

settings generate an error.

ADW

ADW now defaults to VFP mode for the display of floating-point and double values,

and for floating-point registers.

The SDT 2.50/2.51 version of ADW allowed some debug target settings to be

configured by the debugger tab on the configuration screen (for example, ARMulator

memory maps and byte order). For ADS debug targets, this tab is greyed out and the

configuration button must be used instead. This button invokes the configuration box in

the RDI Target.

Impact

The RDI Target configuration box has been extended to handle memory maps and byte

order. The debugger tab is still available for old debug target DLLs.

ARMulator

FPE is now deselected by default in ARMulator. If you need FPE support for armsd, use

the command-line option

-FPE

. If you need FPE support for ADW or AXD, select the

FPE option in the ARMulator configuration dialog.

Map file selection has changed since SDT 2.50/2.51. The local/global/none map file

selection dialog has been replaced with a single map file selection.

ELF, AIF, Binary AIF, and Plain Binary Image formats

The default, and only supported, image format is ELF.

Impact

The preferred way to generate an image in a non-ELF image (such as plain binary or

AIF) is to use the fromELF tool to translate the ELF image into the required format.
