26-bit addressing
ADS does not support 26-bit addressing. Removal of 26-bit support has enabled a more
efficient ATPCS to be designed.
Impact
Continue to use SDT2.50/2.51 if you need 26-bit support.
AOF, AIF, IHF, and Plain Binary image formats
The SDT 2.50/2.51 linker gave warnings when asked to generate an AIF image, a binary
AIF image, an IHF image, or a plain binary image. The ADS linker refuses to generate
these images and is now a pure ELF linker. Although the linker is capable of processing
AOF files, you are strongly recommended not to link with old AOF files because of
changes to both the Procedure Call Standard and changes to debug tables.
Impact
Use the fromELF tool to translate the ELF image into non-ELF formats such as AIF,
Plain binary, Motorola 32 bit S-record, Intel Hex 32.
Future releases of the linker will not allow AOF input files.
RDI 1.50
A new variant of the Remote Debug Interface (RDI 1.5.1) is introduced in ADS. The
version used in SDT 2.50/2.51 was 1.5. See Debuggers on page 2-35 for details of RDI
1.51.
